Merit Abrasives 08834130514 Mounted Flap Wheel 320 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834130514 is a shank-mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on metal, composites, and similar materials. Built with a ceramic alumina abrasive coating, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and a fine surface finish at an extra fine 320 grit rating. It measures 3 inches in outside diameter with a 2-inch face width, and mounts via a 1/4-inch shank for use in standard die grinders and rotary tools. Rated to 20,000 RPM maximum, it handles high-speed finishing passes without compromising abrasive integrity. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking professionals rely on this style of wheel for contoured surface work and weld blending.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for light to moderate material removal and fine surface preparation on interior bores, curved surfaces, and contoured workpieces. The 2-inch face width provides broad contact for consistent finishing passes. Its ceramic alumina abrasive stays sharp under load, making it effective for stainless steel, hardened alloys, and other hard-to-grind materials commonly encountered in fabrication and repair environments. The shank mount eliminates the need for separate arbors or adapters when used with compatible rotary equipment.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive coating for durability and consistent cut on hard metals
• Extra fine 320 grit for finish work, blending, and light deburring
• 3-inch outside diameter with 2-inch face width for broad surface contact
• 1/4-inch shank mount compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 20,000 RPM maximum speed rating for high-speed finishing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted flap wheel for standard 1/4-inch collet die grinders and rotary tools used in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using a die grinder or rotary tool equipped with a 1/4-inch collet. Before mounting, verify the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel maximum of 20,000 RPM. Ensure the collet is tightened securely and the work area is clear before operation. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive wheels, and inspect the wheel for damage before each use.
