Norton 63642502696 Flap Wheel 80 Grit 6x3 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 63642502696 is an unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this medium-grade wheel delivers consistent stock removal across a range of metalworking tasks. At 6 inches in diameter and 3 inches wide, with a 1-inch center hole for arbor mounting, it handles larger surface areas efficiently. Rated to a maximum of 6,200 RPM, it is suited for use on angle grinders, bench-mounted spindles, or similar rotary equipment. The coated abrasive construction provides durability and controlled cut rate throughout the wheel's service life.

This flap wheel is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and maintenance environments where surface conditioning, weld blending, or edge finishing is required. The 80-grit medium grade makes it appropriate for intermediate material removal and surface preparation before finer finishing stages. It is typically installed by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or experienced operator. Always power down and disconnect the grinder or spindle unit before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the equipment RPM rating meets or does not exceed the 6,200 RPM maximum stamped on this wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow applicable ANSI B7 safety standards for abrasive wheel handling and guarding.
