Merit Abrasives 69957339705 Mounted Flap Wheel 40 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 69957339705 is a ceramic alumina mounted flap wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal, weld seams, and irregular surfaces. It mounts on a 1/4-inch shank for use with die grinders and rotary tools. The 2-inch diameter and 1-inch face width provide consistent contact across contoured or hard-to-reach workpieces. Rated at 25,000 maximum RPM, this coarse 40-grit wheel uses a cloth backing with X-weight construction for durability under sustained load. Ceramic alumina abrasive delivers a faster cut rate than aluminum oxide, making it well suited for high-production deburring, blending, and surface prep tasks.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, welding shops, pipe fitting, and general industrial finishing. The 1/4-inch shank fits standard die grinder collets commonly found in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trade work. Coarse 40-grit ceramic alumina is appropriate for stock removal, weld blending, and preparing surfaces prior to coating or inspection. Its compact size allows access to tight areas such as pipe joints, valve bodies, and structural brackets. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed and replaced by machinists, fabricators, welders, and trade professionals using die grinders. Always confirm the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds 25,000 RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never exceed the rated maximum RPM. Wear appropriate eye and face protection, and ensure the workpiece is secured before grinding.
