Merit Abrasives 08834124002 Flap Wheel 60 Grit 10in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834124002 is a coated, unmounted flap wheel designed for aggressive surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard materials. Built around an aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this medium-grade, 60-grit wheel delivers consistent stock removal and a uniform finish. It measures 10 inches in outside diameter by 1 inch wide, with a 1-3/4 inch center hole for mounting to standard arbors and spindles. Rated to 4,500 RPM maximum, it is suited for bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and other fixed or portable spindle-mount equipment. Machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing technicians are the primary installers and users.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, weld finishing operations, and general industrial grinding applications where consistent surface conditioning is required. The 10-inch diameter and 1-inch face width make it appropriate for work on flat stock, tube, pipe, and contoured surfaces where a flexible abrasive face improves contact and finish uniformity. The cloth backing provides durability under continuous use and resists tearing at operating speeds within the rated RPM range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel.
