Merit Abrasives 08834135140 Mounted Flap Wheel 40 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834135140 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this coated wheel delivers consistent stock removal at a coarse 40 grit. It mounts directly to a rotary tool, die grinder, or drill press via a 1/4-inch shank and is rated for up to 25,000 RPM. The 1-1/2-inch diameter and 1-inch face width make it well suited for contoured surfaces, edge work, and tight access areas where flat discs cannot reach. Machinists, fabricators, and general metalworkers are the primary users.

This mounted flap wheel fits applications where controlled surface conditioning is needed on inside diameters, slots, curved profiles, or weld seams. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light industrial finishing work. The coarse 40 grit rating makes it most effective for aggressive material removal and weld blending rather than fine finishing passes.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive for durable, consistent cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Coarse 40 grit for aggressive stock removal and weld blending
• Cloth backing provides flexibility for contoured and irregular surface work
• 1/4-inch shank mounts to standard die grinders, rotary tools, and drill presses
• 25,000 RPM maximum rating suits high-speed rotary tool operation
• No interleaf construction for straightforward flap contact with the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-inch collet die grinders, rotary tools, and drill press chucks rated for mounted abrasive accessories up to 25,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum rating before operation. Secure the 1/4-inch shank fully into the collet and tighten per the tool manufacturer's specification before use. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable ANSI B7 safety standards for mounted abrasives.
