Merit Abrasives 08834133011 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834133011 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. It features a 2-inch outside diameter and a 3/4-inch face width, making it well suited for contoured surfaces, slots, and hard-to-reach areas. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide on a cloth backing, rated at Very Fine grade with a 180 grit designation. With a maximum operating speed of 25,000 RPM, this wheel is compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools. It is a coated abrasive product intended for use by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

This mounted flap wheel is used in applications where consistent surface blending, deburring, or finishing is required on curved or irregular surfaces. The threaded mount type allows for secure attachment to compatible spindle arbors on die grinders. At 180 grit, it is appropriate for final finishing passes and light material removal rather than aggressive stock removal. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light industrial settings where fine surface prep is needed before coating or inspection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the wheel onto a compatible spindle arbor on a die grinder or rotary tool.

Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate a cracked or deformed flap wheel.
