Merit Abrasives 08834137491 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137491 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on contoured or irregular surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent material removal at medium grade with an 80-grit cut. The wheel measures 1-3/16 inches in diameter with a 1/8-inch face width and mounts via a 1/8-inch shank, making it well-suited for use in die grinders, rotary tools, and collet-style power tools. It is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM. At 0.015 pounds, this is a compact, single-use abrasive component for tight-tolerance deburring and surface prep work.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, tooling, welding prep, and finishing applications where access to tight spaces or curved profiles is required. It is a common choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers performing deburring, blending weld seams, or smoothing bores and ports. The coated aluminum oxide abrasive and cloth backing hold up well under moderate pressure in both ferrous and non-ferrous applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 1/8-inch shank into the appropriate collet on a die grinder or rotary tool and tightening securely before operation. Always verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum rating marked on this wheel. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use wheels that show signs of deterioration.
