Norton 66261058487 Flap Wheel 220 Grit 6x1 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261058487 is a nonwoven aluminum oxide unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light deburring operations. The wheel measures 6 inches in outside diameter by 1 inch wide, with a 2-inch center hole for arbor mounting. It carries a fine-grade, 220-grit abrasive and is rated to a maximum of 3,000 RPM. The nonwoven construction allows the abrasive flaps to conform to contoured and irregular surfaces, making it well suited for consistent scratch pattern work and surface preparation prior to coating or inspection. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary installers and users of this wheel.

This flap wheel is used in industrial and shop environments where controlled surface finishing is required on metal, wood, or composite workpieces. The 220-grit fine grade makes it appropriate for final-stage blending and light scratch removal rather than aggressive stock removal. It is mounted on a compatible arbor or mandrel and run on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, or drill press setups capable of safely accommodating the 6-inch diameter and operating within the 3,000 RPM speed limit. A flap density rating of 5 indicates a moderate-to-firm pack suitable for consistent material contact.

Compatibility

Designed for use on arbors or mandrels with a 2-inch bore, compatible with bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and drill press setups that can operate at or below 3,000 RPM with a 6-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

This wheel should be mounted by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always confirm the host machine is rated for at least the wheel diameter and does not exceed the 3,000 RPM maximum speed rating marked on the wheel. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never exceed the rated RPM under any operating condition.
