Merit Abrasives 08834137484 Mounted Flap Wheel 240 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137484 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and other hard materials. Built with aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent cut and finish performance across its working face. It carries a 240 grit, very fine grade rating, making it well suited for final-stage finishing work where smooth surface profiles are required. With a maximum rated speed of 37,000 RPM, it is compatible with die grinders and rotary tools used daily in fabrication, machining, and maintenance applications. The 1/8 inch shank mounts directly into standard collets.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and toolroom environments where controlled material removal and surface refinement are needed in tight or contoured areas. The small diameter and narrow face width allow access to recessed surfaces, bores, slots, and internal contours that larger abrasive tools cannot reach. It is typically used by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• 240 grit aluminum oxide coated abrasive for very fine surface finishing and blending
• Cloth backing provides flexibility and conformability across contoured surfaces
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard die grinder and rotary tool collets
• Rated to 37,000 RPM for use with high-speed rotary tools
• Compact 5/8 inch diameter and 5/8 inch face width for access to tight and recessed areas
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and consistent material removal

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders and rotary tools equipped with a 1/8 inch collet. Suitable for general-purpose surface finishing and deburring on metal workpieces in fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fabricators using a standard die grinder or rotary tool with a 1/8 inch collet. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 37,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before operation. Ensure the workpiece is secured before grinding, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and face protection. Inspect the flap wheel for damage before each use and discard if abrasive material is worn, torn, or the shank is bent.
