Merit Abrasives 08834137811 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834137811 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide coated abrasive on a cloth backing, this medium-grade wheel delivers consistent stock removal and surface finishing. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder or rotary tool, and the wheel is rated to 25,000 RPM for use in high-speed applications. Metalworkers, machinists, and fabricators use this tool to reach bores, contoured surfaces, and tight internal geometries that flat abrasives cannot access effectively.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal finishing, weld blending, and light deburring in shop and field environments. The 1-3/16-inch diameter and 1/2-inch face width make it a practical choice for ID grinding on tubing, pipe ends, and machined bores. It is commonly used by metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and toolroom technicians who need a controlled, conformable abrasive for inside-diameter or contoured surface work.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive on cloth backing for durable, consistent cut
• 80 grit medium grade for general-purpose stock removal and surface blending
• 1/4-inch shank fits standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 25,000 maximum RPM rating for high-speed spindle compatibility
• 1-3/16-inch diameter and 1/2-inch face width for bore and contour access
• No interleaf construction for direct, aggressive abrasive contact

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount replacement flap wheel for die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4-inch shank at speeds up to 25,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworkers and machinists using a standard die grinder or rotary tool with a 1/4-inch collet. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel. Secure the shank fully in the collet and verify it is tightened before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating abrasive accessories.
