Norton 63642502701 Flap Wheel 80 Grit 8x2 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 63642502701 is a coated unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent cut and finish across flat and contoured surfaces. It measures 8 inches in outside diameter by 2 inches wide with a 1-inch center hole and is rated for a maximum of 4,700 RPM. At 80 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, making it a practical choice for general-purpose stock removal and surface prep where a finer finish is not the final goal. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking professionals use this wheel for production-level finishing tasks.

This flap wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and industrial maintenance environments. The unmounted design requires a compatible arbor or mandrel for installation on a bench grinder, lathe, or similar rotating equipment. Its 8-inch diameter and 2-inch face width make it appropriate for medium to large workpieces that require blending of welds, removal of mill scale, or general surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• 80 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for medium-grade material removal and surface prep
• Cloth backing provides flexibility and durability during aggressive finishing passes
• 8-inch outside diameter and 2-inch face width for coverage on larger workpieces
• 1-inch center hole fits standard arbors and mandrels
• Rated to 4,700 RPM maximum for safe high-speed operation
• No interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact and consistent cut rate

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, lathes, and other rotating equipment that accepts a 1-inch arbor bore and can operate at or below 4,700 RPM with an 8-inch diameter unmounted flap wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician. Always power down and lock out the equipment before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the host machine spindle speed does not exceed the 4,700 RPM maximum rating before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the arbor fitment is secure before starting the machine.
