Merit Abrasives 08834137601 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137601 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, deburring, and surface blending on metal and other hard materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent medium-grade cutting action at 80 grit. It measures 1-3/16 inches in diameter with a 1/4 inch face width and mounts via a 1/4 inch shank for use in standard die grinders, rotary tools, and drill presses. Rated to a maximum of 25,000 RPM, it suits both high-speed finishing work and controlled material removal. Machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and general metalworkers use this type of wheel for interior bore work, weld cleanup, and contour blending.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for small-bore and tight-radius applications where larger grinding wheels cannot reach. Common uses include deburring drilled holes, blending weld seams in confined areas, and surface conditioning on pipe interiors, valve bodies, and machined components. The 80 grit medium grade removes material efficiently while leaving a reasonably smooth surface finish, reducing the need for additional finishing steps in many light fabrication and maintenance scenarios.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive on cloth backing for durable, consistent cutting
• 80 grit medium grade balances material removal with surface finish quality
• 1/4 inch shank mounts directly in standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 25,000 maximum RPM rating suits high-speed rotary tool applications
• 1-3/16 inch diameter and 1/4 inch face width fit tight-radius and small-bore work
• No interleaf construction for straightforward flap wheel performance

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders, rotary tools, and drill presses accepting a 1/4 inch shank mounted abrasive wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with rotary abrasive tools. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before operation. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Wear appropriate eye and face protection per ANSI safety standards when operating mounted abrasive wheels.
