Norton 66261058491 Flap Wheel 220 Grit 8x1 Inch Nonwoven

Product Description

The NORTON 66261058491 is a nonwoven aluminum oxide unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light material removal on metal and other workpiece surfaces. Measuring 8 inches in outside diameter by 1 inch in width with a 3-inch center hole, this wheel mounts on compatible arbors and spindles for use with stationary or handheld power equipment. The 220 grit, fine-grade abrasive delivers controlled surface refinement without aggressive stock removal. Maximum rated speed is 2,500 RPM. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians use this wheel where consistent surface texture and scratch pattern are required.

This flap wheel is suited for finishing operations on flat and contoured metal surfaces in fabrication shops, manufacturing environments, and maintenance applications. The nonwoven construction conforms to irregular contours and provides a consistent finish throughout the life of the wheel. It is appropriate for deburring, blending weld seams, and pre-finishing work before coating or plating. The fine 220 grit designation makes it best suited for final-stage surface prep rather than heavy material removal. No interleaf construction keeps the abrasive action uniform across the flap density of 5.

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary spindle equipment or power tools accepting an 8-inch unmounted flap wheel with a 3-inch center hole arbor bore. Confirm arbor size, spindle speed rating, and guard clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety requirements per ANSI B7.1 standards. Always power down and de-energize the equipment before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 2,500 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or deformed flap wheel.
