Merit Abrasives 08834137320 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137320 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard materials. It features a 60-grit aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, delivering medium-grade cutting action suited for controlled material removal. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder or rotary tool, and the wheel is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this wheel for finishing internal bores, contoured surfaces, and tight profiles where flat abrasive tooling cannot reach.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance environments for tasks such as weld blending, surface prep, and edge finishing. The coated aluminum oxide abrasive cuts consistently across steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The 1-3/8-inch diameter and 5/8-inch face width make it well-suited for working inside tubes, ports, and curved or recessed surfaces where larger abrasive tools are impractical. It installs in seconds via the 1/4-inch shank and is ready to run on standard die grinders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade professionals or experienced operators familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Ensure the tool spindle is fully stopped and the grinder is disconnected from the power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds 30,000 RPM and never exceed the wheel's maximum RPM rating. Always inspect the wheel for damage before use and wear appropriate eye and face protection per ANSI B7.1 safety standards.
