Norton 66261058451 Flap Wheel 220 Grit 6in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261058451 is a nonwoven silicon carbide unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light deburring on metal, composite, and similar workpiece materials. At 6 inches in outer diameter and 1 inch wide with a 2-inch center hole, this wheel mounts to a standard arbor or spindle without an adapter hub. The fine 220-grit silicon carbide abrasive cuts consistently and leaves a uniform surface texture. A maximum operating speed of 3,000 RPM keeps the nonwoven construction intact under typical bench or pedestal grinder loads. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking technicians install this wheel when a consistent fine finish is required before polishing or coating.

This flap wheel is suited for finishing operations on cylindrical or contoured surfaces where conformability matters. The nonwoven construction allows the wheel to flex slightly and follow the workpiece profile, making it practical for tubing, pipe exteriors, rod stock, and formed metal parts. It is used in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance environments where hand-held or machine-mounted finishing is part of standard workflow. The 2-inch center hole fits common spindle arbors used on bench grinders and finishing machines.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive grain for consistent cutting on metal and composite surfaces
• Fine grade 220 grit delivers a smooth, uniform surface finish
• Nonwoven construction conforms to contoured and cylindrical workpieces
• 6-inch outer diameter with 1-inch width and 2-inch center hole for standard arbor mounting
• 3,000 RPM maximum operating speed rated for typical bench and pedestal grinder use
• Flap density rating of 5 provides balanced cut rate and surface action

Compatibility

Designed as an unmounted flap wheel for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and finishing machines equipped with a spindle arbor sized to accept a 2-inch center hole wheel.

Installation Notes

Licensed machinists or qualified fabricators should mount and dress abrasive wheels in accordance with ANSI B11 safety standards and the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Always power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the rated 3,000 RPM maximum. Ensure the arbor flanges are clean, properly sized, and torqued per the machine manufacturer's specification before operation.
