Merit Abrasives 08834137504 Mounted Flap Wheel 240 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137504 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision deburring, blending, and surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. Constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent cut and finish at a very fine 240 grit rating. The 1/8-inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder or rotary tool, making it a compact, accessible option for tight spaces and detailed work. A maximum operating speed of 30,000 RPM allows use with high-speed rotary tools common in fabrication and finishing shops. Licensed trades and skilled machinists alike rely on this type of wheel for final-pass surface prep work.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for light material removal and surface conditioning in both shop and field environments. Its small 1-3/16-inch diameter and narrow 3/16-inch face width make it well matched to interior contours, bores, slots, and recessed surfaces where larger abrasive wheels cannot reach. Typical applications include weld blending, edge finishing, and pre-inspection surface prep on machined components or fabricated assemblies.

Key Features

• 240 grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers a very fine finish for final-pass blending and conditioning
• Cloth backing provides flexibility to conform to curved and contoured work surfaces
• 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard die grinders, flex-shaft tools, and rotary tools
• Rated to 30,000 RPM for compatibility with high-speed rotary equipment
• Compact 1-3/16-inch diameter and 3/16-inch face width access tight bores and recessed areas
• Non-interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and consistent scratch pattern

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/8-inch shank mounted abrasive wheel. Suitable for metal, wood, and composite surface finishing applications requiring a very fine abrasive grade.

Installation Notes

Mounted flap wheels are installed and serviced by machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing technicians. Before mounting, verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel. Secure the shank fully into the collet or chuck and tighten according to the tool manufacturer's torque guidance. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the work area is clear of flammable material before operating any high-speed abrasive.
