Norton 66261058456 Flap Wheel 120 Grit 6in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261058456 is a nonwoven unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard materials. The wheel measures 6 inches in outside diameter by 1 inch wide with a 2-inch center hole for arbor mounting. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive at a medium grade 120 grit, making it well-suited for controlled material removal and surface preparation without aggressive stock loss. Rated at a maximum of 3,000 RPM, it is built for use on stationary or bench-mounted finishing equipment. Metal fabricators, machinists, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this type of tooling.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where consistent surface finishing is required. It performs well on inside diameter finishing of pipes, tubes, and bore surfaces, as well as edge blending and light deburring on flat stock. The nonwoven construction conforms to irregular surfaces and contours, allowing for more uniform finish results compared to coated abrasive wheels. It is sold individually and is appropriate for shops running standard bench-mounted or floor-standing flap wheel arbor setups.

Key Features

• 120 grit medium grade aluminum oxide abrasive for controlled surface blending and deburring
• Nonwoven construction conforms to contours and irregular surfaces
• 6-inch outside diameter with 1-inch width and 2-inch center hole for arbor mounting
• Maximum rated speed of 3,000 RPM for use on compatible stationary equipment
• Flap density rating of 5 for consistent abrasive contact throughout wheel life
• No interleaf construction for straightforward surface contact

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary flap wheel arbor equipment accepting a 2-inch center hole arbor mount. Suitable for metal finishing applications requiring a 6-inch diameter nonwoven abrasive wheel at medium grit.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by a machinist or fabricator onto a compatible arbor spindle sized for a 2-inch center hole. Always verify that the equipment spindle speed does not exceed the 3,000 RPM maximum rating before mounting. Secure the wheel firmly per the equipment manufacturer's torque and clamping guidelines, and ensure all guards are in place before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and replace immediately if cracking, fraying, or delamination is observed.
