Merit Abrasives 08834137482 Mounted Flap Wheel 120 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137482 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent material removal at a fine 120 grit rating. The wheel mounts via a 1/8 inch shank and is rated for a maximum of 37,000 RPM, making it compatible with most rotary tools, die grinders, and flex-shaft machines. At 5/8 inch in diameter with a 5/8 inch face width, it suits tight-access deburring and contour finishing work that larger wheels cannot reach.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where controlled surface finishing is required in confined areas. Typical uses include deburring drilled or machined holes, blending weld seams, and finishing inside bores or recesses. It is a standard tool for machinists, tool and die workers, maintenance technicians, and general metal fabricators working with steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive on cloth backing for durable, consistent cutting action
• 120 grit fine grade for smooth finishing and light material removal
• 1/8 inch shank mounts directly in die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft handpieces
• 37,000 maximum RPM rating suits high-speed rotary tool operation
• 5/8 inch diameter and 5/8 inch face width for access in tight spaces and narrow contours
• No interleaf construction for straightforward flap contact with the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and flex-shaft machines that accept a 1/8 inch shank mounted abrasive wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 1/8 inch shank into the collet of a compatible rotary tool or die grinder and tightening securely before operation. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 37,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel showing cuts, nicks, or separation of the abrasive flaps. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before grinding.
