Merit Abrasives 08834137160 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137160 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and hard surfaces. Built with ceramic alumina abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent cut rates and long service life in demanding applications. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly to a die grinder or drill press, making it a practical choice for machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need controlled material removal in tight or contoured areas. At 60 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, suited for stock removal and surface prep before finer finishing steps.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication shops, and industrial maintenance settings. Its 2-inch diameter and 3/4-inch face width allow access to inside diameters, weld seams, and curved profiles where flat abrasives cannot reach. It is commonly used for deburring, weld blending, and edge conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 25,000 maximum RPM rating makes it compatible with standard pneumatic die grinders used in production and repair environments.

Installation Notes

Mounted flap wheels are installed and serviced by machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die technicians. Always ensure the spindle speed of the tool does not exceed the 25,000 RPM rating marked on the wheel before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before mounting and confirm the collet or chuck is securely tightened. Wear appropriate eye and face protection during operation in accordance with applicable workplace safety standards.
