Norton 63642502686 Flap Wheel 60 Grit 6 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 63642502686 is a coated abrasive unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal, wood, and composite materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent material removal at a medium grade (60 grit). The 6-inch outside diameter and 1.5-inch face width make it well suited for bench grinder or spindle applications. With a 1-inch center hole and a maximum rated speed of 6,200 RPM, it fits standard arbor setups used in metal fabrication and finishing shops. Machinists, welders, and metalworkers rely on this wheel type for contour finishing and weld seam blending.

This flap wheel is used in applications requiring controlled stock removal and surface prep on curved or irregular profiles. The aluminum oxide abrasive is a standard choice for ferrous metals and hardwoods. The cloth backing provides flexibility, allowing the wheel to conform to contoured workpiece surfaces. It is commonly used in production finishing environments and job-shop settings where consistent finish quality is required across multiple passes.

• Cloth backing provides flexibility for contoured surface finishing
• 60 grit medium grade balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• 6,200 RPM maximum rated speed for use on standard bench or pedestal grinders
• 1-inch center hole fits common arbor and spindle configurations
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact with workpiece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fitment flap wheel for bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and spindle-mounted finishing equipment accepting a 1-inch arbor hole and accommodating a 6-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of abrasive flap wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 6,200 RPM maximum rating stamped on or associated with this wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or compromised wheel.
