Merit Abrasives 08834137514 Mounted Flap Wheel 240 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137514 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and other hard materials. It features an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth construction at a 240 grit, very fine grade — suited for smooth final-pass finishing work where controlled material removal is required. The wheel measures 1-3/16 inches in diameter with a 3/8 inch face width and mounts via a 1/8 inch shank, making it compatible with die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft machines. Rated to 30,000 RPM maximum, it is built for high-speed handheld or bench-mounted rotary tool use by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for use in tight areas, bores, contoured surfaces, and recesses where flat abrasive tooling cannot reach. The small diameter and narrow face make it practical for deburring drilled holes, blending welds in confined spaces, and light surface prep on interior curves. It is a common choice for metalworking shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing environments. The shank mount allows quick chuck-in to standard collet-style rotary tools without additional hardware.

Key Features

• 240 grit aluminum oxide coated cloth — very fine grade for smooth finishing and light blending
• 1-3/16 inch outside diameter with 3/8 inch face width for access in confined areas
• 1/8 inch shank mount for use in die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft machines
• 30,000 RPM maximum rated speed for high-speed rotary tool compatibility
• Cloth backing for flexibility and consistent abrasive contact on contoured surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted flap wheel for standard 1/8 inch collet rotary tools and die grinders rated at or above 30,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 1/8 inch shank into a compatible collet or chuck and tightening securely before operation. Verify the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds 30,000 RPM before mounting. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is secured before engaging the wheel. Do not exceed the rated maximum RPM marked on the wheel or its packaging.
