Merit Abrasives 69957339711 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 69957339711 is a shank-mounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It features a 2-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch face width, providing a generous contact area for contouring and smoothing irregular or curved workpieces. The abrasive material is ceramic alumina on a cloth backing, rated at a medium coarse 80 grit. A 1/4-inch shank allows direct mounting in a die grinder or drill press. Maximum rated speed is 25,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this wheel for weld blending, deburring, and pre-finishing operations.

This mounted flap wheel suits applications in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair environments, and production grinding operations. The 1-inch face width makes it effective on pipe, tubing, and contoured weld joints where flat abrasive discs cannot conform to the surface. The ceramic alumina abrasive provides consistent cut rate and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide alternatives, making it a practical choice for repeated use on harder steel alloys and stainless.

Key Features

• 2-inch outside diameter with 1-inch face width for broad contact on curved surfaces
• Ceramic alumina abrasive on X-weight cloth backing for durability and consistent cut
• 80 grit medium grade suitable for blending, deburring, and surface prep
• 1/4-inch shank mounts directly in die grinders and drill presses
• 25,000 RPM maximum rated speed for high-speed rotary tool use
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive-to-surface contact

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders, rotary tools, and drill presses accepting a 1/4-inch shank accessory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a standard die grinder or drill chuck. Verify the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds 25,000 RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate above the rated maximum speed. Wear appropriate eye and face protection in accordance with ANSI Z87.1 standards during all grinding and finishing operations.
