Merit Abrasives 08834131027 Mounted Flap Wheel 40 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834131027 is a threaded-mount flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and fabricated components. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a cloth backing, delivering coarse-grade material removal at 40 grit. The 1-inch face width suits narrow surface contact and contoured workpiece geometry. Rated to 30,000 RPM, this wheel is suited for use on die grinders and rotary tools common in fabrication shops, weld cleanup, and general metalworking. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This flap wheel is applied in situations requiring aggressive stock removal or surface conditioning on metal parts, tubing, pipe, or castings. The threaded mount provides secure attachment to compatible rotary tool spindles. The coated aluminum oxide construction handles ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is well suited for weld seam blending, deburring, and surface preparation ahead of coating or inspection. It is a single-unit package sold in minimum quantities of 10.
