Merit Abrasives 08834137513 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137513 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. It features an aluminum oxide coated abrasive at 180 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range — ideal for light stock removal, surface conditioning, and pre-polish prep work. The 1-3/16 inch outer diameter and 3/8 inch face width make it well-suited for working in confined areas and on contoured or irregular surfaces. The 1/8 inch shank mounts directly to a die grinder or rotary tool, and the cloth backing provides flexibility during contact. Rated to 30,000 RPM maximum.

This mounted flap wheel is used primarily in metal fabrication, tool and die work, welding cleanup, and general surface finishing applications. Its compact size suits work inside bores, slots, and tight-radius contours where larger wheels cannot reach. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians typically reach for this style of wheel when blending weld seams, deburring machined edges, or preparing surfaces for coating. It is suited to both bench-mounted rotary tools and handheld die grinders in shop or field environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 1/8 inch shank into the collet of a compatible die grinder or rotary tool and tightening securely per the tool manufacturer's instructions. Always verify the tool's rated RPM does not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel before operating. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when operating mounted abrasive wheels. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate a damaged or worn wheel.
