Merit Abrasives 08834137581 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137581 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and similar materials. The wheel measures 0.75 inches in diameter with a 0.625-inch face width and mounts via a 0.125-inch shank for use in die grinders, drill presses, and rotary tools. It runs aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing at a medium grade with 80 grit, making it well suited for controlled material removal and surface prep. The maximum rated speed is 35,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this type of abrasive accessory.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metalworking and fabrication shops for internal bore finishing, contour blending, and weld cleanup on tight or hard-to-reach surfaces. The shank-mount design allows it to seat directly in a collet or chuck without additional adapters. It is appropriate for use on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 80-grit medium grade provides a balance between stock removal and surface refinement, making it a common choice for intermediate finishing steps before final polishing.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced fabricator should install this wheel in accordance with the tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI abrasive product safety standards. Always confirm the tool's free-speed RPM does not exceed the 35,000 RPM rating of the wheel before operation. Secure the shank fully in the collet and verify the locking mechanism is tight before powering the tool. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating any mounted abrasive accessory.
