Merit Abrasives 69957339714 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 69957339714 is a ceramic alumina mounted flap wheel designed for aggressive material removal and surface blending on metal, alloys, and similar workpieces. Measuring 3 inches in diameter with a 1 inch face width, it mounts via a 1/4 inch shank for use with die grinders and other rotary tools. The coated abrasive cloth backing is rated at a medium grade 60 grit and is approved for a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals reach for this wheel when contouring, deburring, or blending welds in confined areas where flat grinding wheels cannot reach.

This mounted flap wheel suits both production shop and maintenance applications. It performs well in aerospace, automotive, fabrication, and general metalworking environments where controlled stock removal and a consistent surface finish are required in one pass. The shank-mount design allows use with standard die grinders, making it a practical choice for in-place repairs and hard-to-reach joint geometries. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive delivers fast cutting action and extended wheel life on hard metals
• 60 grit medium grade for aggressive stock removal with a semi-refined finish
• Coated cloth backing with X-weight construction resists tearing under load
• 1/4 inch shank mounts directly in standard die grinder collets
• 20,000 RPM maximum speed rating suits high-speed rotary tools
• No interleaf construction for direct, consistent abrasive contact

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4 inch shank, suitable for deburring, blending, and finishing operations on metal and alloy workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 20,000 RPM maximum rating before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel showing cracking, excessive wear, or separation. Always use appropriate eye protection and guarding per ANSI B11 and applicable shop safety standards.
