Merit Abrasives 08834137162 Mounted Flap Wheel 120 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137162 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on metal, alloy, and composite workpieces. Built with a ceramic alumina abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent cut and finish across its 2-inch diameter and 3/4-inch face width. At 120 grit (fine grade), it is suited for finishing passes where material removal is controlled and surface quality matters. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly to die grinders and drill press setups, and the wheel is rated to a maximum of 25,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of abrasive tooling.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where consistent surface blending is required. Typical applications include weld blending, deburring, and finishing on tubing, contoured surfaces, and hard-to-reach interior bores or cavities. The fine 120-grit ceramic alumina construction makes it appropriate for final-stage finishing rather than aggressive stock removal. It fits standard 1/4-inch collet die grinders commonly found in trade and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive on cloth backing for durability and consistent cut rate
• 120 grit fine grade suited for finishing and light blending operations
• 2-inch diameter with 3/4-inch face width for surface contact on contoured workpieces
• 1/4-inch shank for direct mounting to standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 25,000 RPM maximum speed rating
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-inch collet die grinders and compatible rotary tool setups requiring a shank-mount flap wheel.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by a machinist, fabricator, or maintenance technician using a die grinder with a 1/4-inch collet. Always confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the 25,000 RPM rating of the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a damaged or deformed flap wheel. Ensure the workpiece is secured and appropriate eye and face protection is worn during operation.
