Merit Abrasives 08834137252 Mounted Flap Wheel 120 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137252 is a shank-mounted flap wheel designed for fine surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. It features an aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, rated at 120 grit for controlled material removal and smooth finishing passes. The 1-inch face width provides consistent contact across curved and irregular surfaces. With a maximum rated speed of 20,000 RPM, this wheel is suited for use with standard die grinders and rotary tools. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this type of wheel for deburring, blending, and surface prep work.

This mounted flap wheel is appropriate for bench or handheld rotary tool applications in both shop and field environments. The shank mount style allows direct chuck installation in die grinders and drill presses without additional hardware. At 120 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it well-suited for final blending passes, weld seam finishing, and light deburring on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is sold individually and sized for controlled access to tight contours and internal radii.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using standard rotary tool equipment. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 20,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before powering the tool. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive wheels, per ANSI B11 and applicable shop safety standards.
