Merit Brass 8830000000 Flap Wheel 2.5 in 60 Grit Ao

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 8830000000 is a high-performance aluminum oxide mini flap wheel designed for demanding stock removal, deburring, and surface finishing tasks. The wheel measures 2.5 inches in diameter and uses a 60-grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive blend to deliver aggressive cutting action at a higher cut rate than conventional flap wheels. Heavy cotton-polyester-blend flaps provide extended durability and wear resistance. An integral steel shank keeps the wheel balanced during operation, reducing chatter for cleaner, more consistent finishes. Licensed trade professionals and machinists rely on this type of wheel for metalworking applications where conformability and cut rate matter.

This mini flap wheel is suited for use on metal surfaces requiring coarse stock removal or deburring in tight or contoured areas. The conformable flap design allows it to follow irregular shapes and profiles rather than bridging over surface geometry. The integral steel shank is compatible with tools that accept a collet-style chuck, making it practical for die grinders and similar rotary tools commonly used in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

Key Features

• 60-grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive material removal
• Heavy cotton-polyester-blend flaps for extended durability and wear resistance
• Conformable design works on flat surfaces, contours, and irregular profiles
• Integral steel shank maintains wheel balance for chatter-free operation
• Collet-compatible shank for quick tool changes on die grinders and rotary tools
• Higher cut rate compared to conventional flap wheel designs

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools and die grinders that accept a collet-style chuck. Suitable for metalworking applications including deburring, stock removal, and surface finishing on steel and other metals.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified trade or industrial professionals familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Ensure the tool is powered down and disconnected from the power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum RPM for the wheel before operation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves during use.
