Merit Abrasives 08834137595 Mounted Flap Wheel 320 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137595 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on metal, wood, and composite materials. The wheel measures 3/4 inches in diameter with a 3/4 inch face width and mounts via a 1/8 inch shank for use in die grinders, rotary tools, and similar spindle-driven equipment. Abrasive action comes from aluminum oxide coated cloth flaps rated at 320 grit, placing this wheel in the extra fine grade range. At a maximum rated speed of 35,000 RPM, it delivers consistent material removal and surface refinement in tight spaces and contoured surfaces where larger tooling cannot reach.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance technicians, and machinists who need controlled, light abrasive work on internal bores, slots, weld areas, and curved profiles. The extra fine 320 grit makes it appropriate for final-pass finishing, deburring, and light stock removal rather than aggressive grinding. It is commonly used in applications requiring a smooth, consistent surface finish before coating or inspection.

Key Features

• 320 grit aluminum oxide coated cloth flaps for extra fine surface finishing
• 3/4 inch diameter and 3/4 inch face width for access in confined areas
• 1/8 inch shank mount compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools
• Rated to 35,000 RPM maximum for use with high-speed spindle equipment
• Cloth backing material provides flexibility and conformability on curved surfaces
• No interleaf construction for direct flap-to-surface contact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted flap wheel compatible with die grinders, rotary tools, and other 1/8 inch shank collet-driven equipment rated for abrasive accessory use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using standard collet-equipped rotary or die grinder tools. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the 35,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel. Secure the 1/8 inch shank fully into the collet and tighten according to the tool manufacturer specification. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the work area is clear before operating at speed.
