Norton 63642502601 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 63642502601 is a mounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, deburring, and blending on metal and other hard materials. It uses coated aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, which delivers consistent cut and finish throughout the wheel's life as worn flaps shed and expose fresh abrasive. At 80 grit, this is a medium-grade wheel suited for moderate material removal and surface prep work. It mounts via a 1/4-inch shank and is rated to a maximum of 23,000 RPM, making it compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools used in fabrication and finishing applications.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication shops, and maintenance environments where controlled surface finishing is required. The 2-inch diameter and 1-inch face width are well suited for inside-diameter work, contoured surfaces, and areas where larger grinding wheels cannot reach. Machinists, welders, pipefitters, and metal finishing technicians commonly use this style of wheel for weld blending, rust removal, and pre-paint surface prep on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive on cloth backing for consistent cut and long wheel life
• 80 grit medium grade suitable for moderate material removal and surface blending
• 23,000 maximum RPM rating for use with standard die grinders
• 1/4-inch shank mount for secure chucking in rotary tools and die grinders
• 2-inch diameter with 1-inch face width for access to contoured and tight areas
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and efficient stock removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mounted flap wheel replacement for use with 1/4-inch shank die grinders and rotary tools rated at or above 23,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or finishing technician. Before mounting, confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's 23,000 RPM maximum and that the collet or chuck is properly sized for the 1/4-inch shank. Disconnect the tool from its power source before inserting or removing the wheel. Never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel or in product documentation, and always use appropriate eye protection and guarding per ANSI B7.1 and tool manufacturer guidelines.
