Merit Abrasives 08834137315 Mounted Flap Wheel 320 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137315 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing on metal and similar materials. Built around a 1/4-inch shank for use in die grinders and rotary tools, this wheel measures 1 inch in diameter with a 1-inch face width. The abrasive material is ceramic alumina on a cloth backing, rated at 320 grit for extra fine stock removal and surface refinement. It is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM, making it suitable for high-speed inline and right-angle die grinder applications. Maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals use this wheel for deburring, blending, and finishing passes in confined areas.

This mounted flap wheel fits standard applications requiring a small-diameter coated abrasive on a 1/4-inch shank. Its 1-inch face width provides consistent contact across narrow bores, tubes, contoured surfaces, and tight weld seams. The extra fine 320-grit ceramic alumina construction suits finishing work where surface texture must be tightly controlled without aggressive material removal. It is commonly used in HVAC fabrication, plumbing fitting preparation, and light metalwork encountered across mechanical trades.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by licensed or qualified trade professionals using a die grinder or rotary tool with a compatible 1/4-inch collet. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum rating before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is secure before grinding. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and replace if cracking or uneven wear is observed.
