Fitted with a 1\/4-inch shank for use in die grinders and drill presses, this wheel runs at up to 20,000 RPM and delivers consistent coarse-grade cutting action through its aluminum oxide coated cloth backing. The 3-inch diameter and 1-inch face width provide a substantial contact area, making it well suited for contouring irregular surfaces, deburring edges, and cleaning weld seams. Grinding and fabrication professionals rely on this configuration for rapid stock removal in tight or curved geometries where rigid abrasive wheels cannot conform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and general industrial finishing applications. Its coarse 40-grit aluminum oxide construction makes it appropriate for initial passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where scale, burrs, or surface oxides need to be removed before finer finishing steps. It is well suited for portable handheld die grinder setups and benchtop rotary tools wherever a shank-mounted abrasive is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide coated abrasive for durable, consistent cutting on metal and hard surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoarse 40-grit rating for aggressive material removal and deburring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch diameter with 1-inch face width for broad surface contact on contoured workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch shank mounts directly into standard die grinders and rotary tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCloth backing provides flexibility to conform to irregular or curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated up to 20,000 RPM for compatibility with high-speed rotary tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 1\/4-inch collet die grinders and rotary tools commonly used in metal fabrication and industrial finishing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified operator following the tool manufacturer's guidelines for shank-mounted accessories. Confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the 20,000 RPM maximum before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the shank is fully seated and secured in the collet. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards when operating abrasive wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterleaf\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT ABRASIVES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08834137456\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713132298546,"sku":"08834137456","price":188.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f71a380355e9eabdf074fa350f535e8a.jpg?v=1788491368","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-abrasives-08834137456-mounted-flap-wheel-40-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
