Merit Abrasives 08834137380 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137380 is a mounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light material removal on metal and similar workpieces. The wheel measures 2 inches in diameter with a 1-1/2 inch face width and mounts via a 1/4 inch shank for use in die grinders and drill press setups. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide on a cloth backing, rated at 60 grit (medium grade), which makes it well suited for moderate stock removal and weld blending. Maximum operating speed is 25,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly use this style of wheel for deburring, surface prep, and contour finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This mounted flap wheel is intended for use with rotary die grinders, flexible shaft tools, and drill presses accepting a 1/4 inch shank. It is appropriate for general metalworking, weld blending, edge deburring, and surface conditioning in both shop and field environments. The 60 grit aluminum oxide construction handles moderate aggression tasks where a finer finish abrasive would load or wear too quickly. It is sold individually and is a common consumable in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and machine shops.
