Merit Abrasives 69957339715 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 69957339715 is a mounted flap wheel designed for controlled material removal and surface finishing on metal and similar substrates. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter with a 1-inch face width and mounts via a 1/4-inch shank for use in standard die grinders and rotary tools. Abrasive material is ceramic alumina on a cloth backing with an X-weight designation, delivering consistent cut rate and durability under load. Rated to 20,000 RPM maximum, this wheel suits medium-grit stock removal, edge blending, and contour finishing in fabrication and maintenance applications.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for metalworking tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light industrial settings. The 3-inch diameter and 1-inch face width make it effective for reaching into internal bores, tubes, and curved surfaces where flat abrasive tooling cannot access. The 80-grit ceramic alumina construction handles medium-grade surface conditioning on steel, stainless, and similar hard metals. It is installed by machinists, welders, and general metalworking trades using a standard die grinder or drill press with a 1/4-inch collet or chuck.

Key Features

• 3-inch diameter with 1-inch face width for contour and bore finishing
• 80-grit ceramic alumina abrasive for medium-grade material removal
• 1/4-inch shank mounts directly in die grinders and rotary tools
• Rated to 20,000 RPM maximum for high-speed operation
• X-weight cloth backing provides durability and conformability under load
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and aggressive cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted flap wheel for die grinders and rotary tools fitted with a 1/4-inch collet or chuck.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by metalworking trades using a die grinder or compatible rotary tool. Before mounting, verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 20,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel. Secure the 1/4-inch shank firmly in the collet and confirm the locking mechanism is fully engaged before powering on. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive tooling.
