Merit Abrasives 69957339702 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 69957339702 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. It features a ceramic alumina abrasive on a cloth backing with an X-weight backing material, delivering consistent stock removal at a medium coarse 60 grit. The wheel mounts via a 1/4-inch shank for use in die grinders and rotary tools, and is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die technicians install this type of abrasive for contour finishing, deburring, and surface prep in tight or hard-to-reach areas.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, castings, welds, and formed parts where a flexible abrasive action is needed. The 1-inch diameter and 1-inch face width make it effective in bores, internal cavities, and contoured surfaces where rigid abrasives cannot conform. It is commonly used in production finishing, maintenance shops, and fabrication environments requiring controlled material removal on curved or irregular geometries.

Key Features

• 60 grit ceramic alumina abrasive for aggressive stock removal and long service life
• X-weight cloth backing provides durability and flexibility on contoured surfaces
• 1/4-inch shank mounts directly to standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 30,000 RPM maximum speed rating for high-speed rotary applications
• 1-inch diameter by 1-inch face width suits bores, slots, and internal surfaces
• No interleaf construction for consistent flap-to-surface contact

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank-mount replacement flap wheel for die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4-inch shank arbor. Verify that the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the 30,000 RPM maximum before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a standard die grinder or rotary tool with a 1/4-inch collet. Always confirm the tool is unplugged or depressurized before mounting or removing abrasive wheels. Do not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum speed rating stamped on the product. Inspect the flap wheel for damage before each use and replace immediately if backing cloth or abrasive segments show signs of separation or wear.
