Merit Abrasives 08834137593 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137593 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on metal and similar workpieces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent material removal at a very fine 180-grit grade. The 0.75-inch diameter and 0.75-inch face width make it well-suited for detail work in tight areas. A 0.125-inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder or rotary tool. Maximum rated speed is 35,000 RPM. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metal fabricators rely on this type of wheel for blending welds, deburring edges, and finishing internal contours where larger abrasives cannot reach.

This mounted flap wheel is intended for use with electric or pneumatic die grinders and rotary tools that accept a 0.125-inch shank. It performs well on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals in both shop and field environments. Typical applications include weld blending, bore finishing, and light deburring in confined spaces. The very fine 180-grit rating makes it appropriate for finishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal. Sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive on cloth backing for durable, consistent cut
• Very fine 180-grit grade suited for finishing and blending passes
• 0.75-inch diameter and 0.75-inch face width for access to tight geometries
• 0.125-inch shank mounts directly into standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 35,000 RPM maximum rated speed compatible with most pneumatic and electric die grinders
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact on the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 0.125-inch shank. Confirm that the tool's rated no-load speed does not exceed 35,000 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Always power down and disconnect the die grinder or rotary tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate above the 35,000 RPM maximum rated speed. Secure the shank fully into the collet and tighten according to the tool manufacturer's specifications. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating abrasive wheels.
