Merit Abrasives 08834137502 Mounted Flap Wheel 120 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137502 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision deburring, blending, and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent cut and finish at a fine 120 grit rating. The wheel mounts via a 1/8-inch shank, making it compatible with die grinders, rotary tools, and flexible shaft machines. It is rated to 30,000 RPM, supporting high-speed finishing work in tight areas. Metalworkers, machinists, pipefitters, and fabrication shop techs reach for this type of wheel when a standard grinding disc cannot access an inside diameter or a contoured surface.

This mounted flap wheel suits deburring weld seams, cleaning up drilled holes, blending surfaces on tubing or pipe ends, and finishing interior contours in fabricated assemblies. At 1-3/16 inches in diameter and 3/16 inches face width, it fits into recessed areas where larger abrasive wheels cannot reach. The cloth-backed flap construction conforms slightly to irregular surfaces, producing a more even finish than rigid abrasive points. It is well suited to maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive for reliable cutting action on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 120 grit fine grade delivers smooth finishing and light deburring without aggressive stock removal
• Cloth backing provides flexibility to conform to contoured and irregular surfaces
• 1/8-inch shank mounts directly in standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 30,000 RPM maximum speed rating supports high-speed tool use
• Compact 1-3/16-inch diameter reaches inside bores, slots, and recessed weld zones

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount abrasive accessory for die grinders, rotary tools, and flexible shaft machines accepting a 1/8-inch shank. Verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel before use.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, fabricator, or trained abrasive tool operator should install and operate this wheel. Before mounting, confirm the host tool is unplugged or its compressed air supply is isolated. Insert the 1/8-inch shank fully into the collet and tighten securely before starting. Always operate at or below the 30,000 RPM rated speed and wear appropriate eye and face protection per ANSI B7.1 and applicable shop safety standards.
