Merit Abrasives 08834143806 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834143806 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing on metal and other hard materials. It features a ceramic alumina abrasive coating rated at 180 grit, placing it in the very fine grade category. The wheel mounts via a shank for use in die grinders, drill presses, and rotary tools commonly found in fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, and general industrial maintenance. The 1-1/2 inch face width provides a broad contact surface for blending, deburring, and finishing in tight or contoured areas. Maximum rated speed is 20,000 RPM.

This mounted flap wheel suits applications where consistent, controlled surface finishing is required. It is commonly used by metal fabricators, HVAC technicians working with sheet metal ductwork, pipefitters, and general maintenance mechanics. The ceramic alumina abrasive is well suited for aggressive stock removal on stainless steel, carbon steel, and hard alloys while still delivering a very fine finish. It is sold individually and fits standard shank-mounted rotary tool setups.
