Norton 66261151176 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit Ceramic Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 66261151176 is a mounted flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, and finishing operations on metal and other hard surfaces. It features ceramic alumina abrasive on a cloth backing, delivering aggressive stock removal with consistent cut throughout the wheel's life. The 3-inch diameter and 1-inch face width make it well suited for inside diameter work, contoured surfaces, and edge blending. At a maximum rated speed of 20,000 RPM, it is built for use with high-speed die grinders and rotary tools. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into standard collet chucks without adapters. Medium grade at 60 grit positions this wheel for material removal and surface preparation rather than fine finishing.

This mounted flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and weld blending applications. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metals where consistent surface conditioning or edge work is required. The coated cloth construction allows the flaps to conform to irregular or curved surfaces, making it practical for port work, bore finishing, and contour blending in both production and job-shop environments. Metalworkers and maintenance machinists are the primary installers and operators of this abrasive product.

Key Features

• Cloth backing allows flaps to flex and conform to curved surfaces
• 60 grit medium grade balances stock removal with surface condition
• 20,000 RPM maximum rated speed for use with high-speed die grinders
• 1/4-inch shank fits standard collet chucks directly
• 3-inch diameter with 1-inch face width suits ID and contour work

Compatibility

Designed as a shank-mounted flap wheel compatible with die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4-inch collet. Verify that the tool's rated no-load RPM does not exceed the 20,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel before use.

Installation Notes

This abrasive product is installed and operated by metalworkers, machinists, and fabricators using die grinders or rotary tools. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed 20,000 RPM and that the collet is clean and properly tightened. Always wear appropriate eye protection and a face shield when operating mounted abrasives at speed. Inspect the wheel for visible damage before each use and never operate a damaged or cracked flap wheel.
