Merit Abrasives 08834137493 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137493 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing in tight or contoured areas. It features an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth construction at 180 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range — suited for light deburring, blending, and polishing on metal, wood, or composite surfaces. The wheel measures 1-3/16 inches in diameter with a 1/8 inch face width and mounts via a 1/8 inch shank for use in die grinders, rotary tools, and similar handheld power tools. Maximum rated speed is 30,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die technicians are the typical end users.

This mounted flap wheel is used in applications where access is limited and a standard grinding wheel or disc will not reach. Common scenarios include finishing internal bores, deburring drilled holes, blending weld seams in narrow channels, and surface prep on intricate workpieces. Its very fine 180 grit makes it appropriate for finish passes rather than aggressive material removal. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 180 grit aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth — very fine grade for finish work and light blending
• 1-3/16 inch outer diameter with 1/8 inch face width for work in confined areas
• 1/8 inch shank mount compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 30,000 RPM maximum speed rating for high-speed rotary tool use
• Cloth backing material provides flexibility for contoured surface contact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted flap wheel for die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft machines accepting a 1/8 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 1/8 inch shank into a compatible collet and tightening per the tool manufacturer's torque guidance. Always confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the 30,000 RPM maximum before operating. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during use. Do not exceed the marked maximum RPM and inspect the wheel for damage before each use.
