Norton 662610-51718 Bear-tex Flap Wheel Medium Grit 3x1x1/4

Product Description

The NORTON 662610-51718 is a non-woven Bear-Tex flap wheel designed for surface blending, deburring, and finishing on metal and similar materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive in a medium grit, it mounts via a straight shank attachment to compatible rotary tools and die grinders. The 3-inch diameter by 1-inch face width and 1/4-inch shank make it well-suited for working in confined areas and along curved or irregular surfaces. At 0.2 pounds, it adds minimal mass to the spindle. It is sold individually and typically purchased in box quantities of 20.

This flap wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where consistent surface finish is required without aggressive material removal. Its non-woven construction conforms to contoured surfaces, making it effective for blending welds, cleaning rust, or preparing surfaces before coating. It suits shops and field technicians who need a repeatable medium-grit finish on pipe, tubing, sheet metal, or machined parts.
