Norton 63642502609 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit 2.5in

Product Description

The NORTON 63642502609 is a mounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and similar materials. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter with a 1-inch face width, it mounts via a 0.25-inch shank and runs at a maximum of 20,000 RPM. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide on a cloth backing with a Y-weight backing grade, delivering consistent cut and durability under sustained use. At 80 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, making it suitable for general-purpose stock removal and surface conditioning. This wheel is typically installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople using a die grinder or rotary tool.

This mounted flap wheel is used in light to medium metalworking applications where access to contoured or irregular surfaces is required. The coated aluminum oxide construction and cloth backing hold up well in grinding, blending weld seams, and cleaning up burrs on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The 0.25-inch shank allows direct chuck mounting in standard die grinders and electric or pneumatic rotary tools common in fabrication and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch diameter with 1-inch face width for broad contact coverage
• 80 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for medium-grade material removal and blending
• Coated cloth backing with Y-weight construction for durability and flexibility

• Rated to 20,000 RPM maximum for use with high-speed rotary equipment
• No interleaf construction for direct, consistent abrasive contact

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank-mounted flap wheel for use with die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 0.25-inch shank, suitable for metal surface finishing and deburring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Before mounting, confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds 20,000 RPM and that the shank is fully seated and secured in the collet. Always operate within the maximum RPM rating printed on the wheel and use appropriate eye and face protection per ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel standards. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not exceed the rated speed.
