Merit Abrasives 08834137553 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137553 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and similar materials. Built with aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent cut and finish across its working surface. The wheel measures 0.75 inches in diameter with a 3/16-inch face width and mounts via a 1/8-inch shank for use in die grinders, rotary tools, and similar power equipment. Rated at 35,000 maximum RPM, it suits high-speed finish work in tight areas and internal bores. At a very fine 180 grit, it is well suited for final-pass finishing and light material removal.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, tool and die work, weld blending, and precision deburring applications. Its small diameter and shank mount make it practical for accessing confined spaces and contoured surfaces where larger grinding wheels cannot reach. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians typically deploy this wheel for cleanup work on stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and similar metals in both shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fabricators using standard collet-equipped rotary tools or die grinders. Confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the 35,000 RPM maximum before mounting. Secure the shank fully in the collet and tighten per the tool manufacturer's guidance before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and inspect the wheel for damage before each use.
