Norton 63642502681 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The NORTON 63642502681 is a coated aluminum oxide unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard materials. Built with a cloth backing, this medium-grade wheel delivers consistent stock removal and a uniform finish. It measures 6 inches in outer diameter by 1 inch in width, with a 1-inch center hole for mounting on a compatible spindle or arbor. Rated to a maximum of 6,200 RPM, it is suited for use with bench grinders, die grinders, or finishing machines running within that speed range. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworkers reach for this type of wheel when surface prep or edge work is required.

This flap wheel is a standard choice for medium-grade finishing operations in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. At 80 grit, it is appropriate for blending weld seams, removing mill scale, cleaning up castings, or smoothing rough edges on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 6-inch diameter makes it practical for stationary bench-mounted setups or handheld power tools with sufficient arbor capacity. No interleaf material is present between the flaps, allowing the abrasive cloth to work directly against the workpiece surface.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive material for consistent cutting on metal surfaces
• Cloth backing provides flexibility and durability during finishing passes
• 80 grit medium grade balances stock removal with surface smoothness
• 6,200 RPM maximum speed rating for safe operation at rated tool speeds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use flap wheel for bench grinders, die grinders, and finishing machines that accept a 6-inch unmounted flap wheel with a 1-inch center hole and operate within a 6,200 RPM maximum speed rating.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of this flap wheel should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 standards. Always inspect the wheel for damage before mounting and confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed 6,200 RPM. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation.
