Merit Abrasives 08834137564 Mounted Flap Wheel 240 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137564 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing in tight spaces and contoured areas. Built with aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and smooth surface blending at a very fine 240 grit. The 1/8 inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder or rotary tool, making it a compact, easy-to-deploy option for metal fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians who need controlled finishing on small diameters or recessed geometries. Rated to 35,000 RPM, it handles high-speed rotary tool applications without compromising abrasive integrity.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for deburring, blending, and finish work on metal components where larger wheels cannot reach. Typical applications include weld blending in tight joints, port finishing, and smoothing machined bores or shafts. The very fine 240 grit makes it appropriate for final finishing passes rather than aggressive material removal. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, automotive machine shops, and general industrial maintenance environments where hand-held rotary tools are the standard instrument.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using standard die grinders or rotary tools. Always verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 35,000 RPM maximum rating before operating. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the collet is securely tightened before running the wheel. Wear appropriate eye and face protection per ANSI B7.1 safety standards when operating mounted abrasive wheels.
