Merit Abrasives 08834138130 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834138130 is a mounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other materials. It features an aluminum oxide abrasive with a non-woven coated construction and a medium grade, 80-grit cutting surface. The wheel mounts via a 1/4-inch shank and spins up to 12,000 RPM, making it compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools. Cloth backing with X-weight construction and an interleaf design help the wheel conform to irregular surfaces while extending abrasive life. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this type of tooling.

This mounted flap wheel suits applications in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light industrial environments. It is well suited for finishing welds, cleaning pipe ends, deburring edges, and blending surface scratches on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The 3-inch diameter and 1-inch face width allow access to contoured and recessed areas where flat abrasives cannot reach. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this mounted flap wheel only when the tool is powered off and disconnected from its air or electrical supply. Verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 12,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and replace immediately if tears, missing flaps, or shank deformation are observed. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when operating rotary abrasive tools.
