Merit Abrasives 08834137313 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137313 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on metal, wood, and composite materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and smooth finish work at a Very Fine 180-grit rating. The shank-mount design allows direct chucking into a die grinder or drill press, making it a practical tool for machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need controlled, repeatable surface preparation in tight or contoured areas. It is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM, supporting use with standard pneumatic and electric rotary tools.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for light deburring, blending weld seams, and finishing internal bores or curved surfaces where flat abrasive tooling cannot reach. The 1 inch face width makes it appropriate for moderate-contact finishing passes in production and repair environments alike. It is a single-piece consumable packaged individually, fitting both shop stock replenishment and one-off project use by trade professionals and skilled DIYers.

Installation Notes

Mounted flap wheels are installed by machinists, fabricators, and tool and die technicians using die grinders or drill presses. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,000 RPM rating marked on the wheel. Secure the shank fully in the collet or chuck before operation and inspect the wheel for damage or loose flaps prior to each use. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating rotary abrasive tooling.
