Merit Abrasives 08834137572 Mounted Flap Wheel 120 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137572 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and other hard materials. It features an aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a cloth backing, delivering consistent stock removal at a fine 120 grit rating. The wheel measures 0.75 inches in diameter with a 0.5 inch face width and mounts via a 0.125 inch shank, making it compatible with die grinders and rotary tools. Rated to a maximum of 35,000 RPM, it is well suited for high-speed finish work in tight areas. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metalworking professionals are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, toolroom work, and maintenance applications where controlled surface finishing is required in confined spaces or on contoured workpieces. The small diameter and shank-mount design allow access to bores, ports, and recessed surfaces that larger abrasive tools cannot reach. It is a practical choice for weld blending, edge conditioning, and light material removal on steel, aluminum, and similar substrates.

Key Features

• 120 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for fine-grade surface finishing
• Cloth backing provides flexibility and conformability on contoured surfaces
• 0.125 inch shank mounts directly in die grinders and rotary tools
• 35,000 maximum RPM rating supports high-speed tooling applications
• Compact 0.75 inch diameter reaches confined and recessed areas
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and consistent cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mounted flap wheel for use with standard 0.125 inch collet die grinders and rotary tools commonly used in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or metalworking technician. Secure the 0.125 inch shank fully into the collet of the die grinder before tightening to prevent slippage. Verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 35,000 RPM maximum rating marked on this wheel. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating mounted abrasive wheels, and inspect the wheel for damage before each use.
