Merit Abrasives 08834137583 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137583 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and other hard materials. Built with aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal and a smooth finish at a very fine 180 grit rating. The 1/8 inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder, rotary tool, or drill press spindle. Rated to a maximum of 35,000 RPM, it suits high-speed finishing applications where control and surface quality matter. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die technicians use this style of wheel for internal bores, contoured surfaces, and tight-clearance finishing work.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for light material removal and final-pass finishing in metalworking, welding prep, and part deburring applications. The 3/4 inch outer diameter and 5/8 inch face width make it effective for working inside bores, tubes, slots, and recessed surfaces where larger wheels cannot reach. It is a standard choice for production shops and maintenance technicians who need repeatable results in confined geometries.

Key Features

• 180 grit aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth for very fine surface finishing
• 3/4 inch outer diameter and 5/8 inch face width for confined and contoured surface access
• 1/8 inch shank for direct mounting in die grinders and rotary tools
• 35,000 maximum RPM rating supports high-speed tool use
• Cloth backing provides flexibility for blending and contouring
• No interleaf construction for consistent abrasive contact across the full face

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inch shank mounted flap wheel for use with die grinders, rotary tools, and drill press spindles that accept 1/8 inch shank accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using standard collet-equipped rotary tools or die grinders. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the 35,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel. Secure the shank fully in the collet and verify the locking mechanism is tight before operation. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive wheels at speed.
