Merit Abrasives 08834137575 Mounted Flap Wheel 320 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137575 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal, wood, and composite materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent cut and finish at an extra fine 320 grit. The 1/8-inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder, rotary tool, or drill press for controlled, repeatable work in tight or contoured areas. Rated to 35,000 RPM, it is well suited for high-speed finishing passes where surface quality matters. Machinists, tool and die workers, and metal fabricators reach for this wheel when blending welds or preparing surfaces for coating.

This mounted flap wheel is sized for detail work and confined areas that larger grinding wheels cannot reach. The 0.75-inch diameter and 0.5-inch face width make it practical for inside bores, slots, curved profiles, and intricate part geometry. It is commonly used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where consistent surface finish is required before inspection or final coating application.

Key Features

• 320 grit extra fine aluminum oxide for smooth surface finishing and light material removal
• Cloth backing provides flexibility and durability across contoured surfaces
• 1/8-inch shank compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 35,000 RPM maximum speed rating supports high-speed tool use
• 0.75-inch outside diameter and 0.5-inch face width sized for confined and detailed work areas
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and consistent cut rate

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders, rotary tools, and drill presses accepting a 1/8-inch shank mounted abrasive wheel.

Installation Notes

Always verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 35,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage or wear before mounting and discard any wheel showing fraying, delamination, or shank deformation. Secure the shank fully in the collet and tighten to the tool manufacturer specification. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow ANSI B11 or shop safety standards when operating mounted abrasives.
