Pferd 47801426 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The PFERD 47801426 is a mounted flap wheel designed for controlled material removal and surface finishing on a wide range of metals. It measures 3 inches in outside diameter with a 1 inch face width and uses 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing for medium-grade cutting action. The 1/4 inch shank diameter and 1-1/2 inch shank length allow direct mounting to a straight grinder. Rated to a maximum of 20,000 RPM, this wheel suits production grinding, weld blending, and contour finishing tasks performed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

This flap wheel is built for use with a straight (die) grinder and is suited to both shop and field applications where consistent scratch patterns and edge blending are required. The aluminum oxide abrasive and cloth backing make it effective across a broad material range including stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, brass, bronze, titanium, nickel-base alloys, cobalt-based alloys, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. It performs well on both flat and curved surfaces, making it a common choice for weld cleanup, deburring, and pre-finishing work.

Key Features

• 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers medium-grade stock removal and surface blending
• Cloth backing provides flexibility to conform to contoured and irregular surfaces
• 1/4 inch shank mounts directly to standard straight grinders without adapters
• 20,000 RPM maximum rating supports high-speed die grinder operation
• Compatible with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including stainless steel, titanium, and nickel-base alloys

Compatibility

Designed for use with straight (die) grinders accepting a 1/4 inch shank. Suitable for material removal and finishing on aluminum, annealed cast iron, brass, bronze, cast steel, cobalt-based alloys, copper, heat-treatable steel, nickel-base alloys, nodular cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, and titanium as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist, fabricator, or qualified grinder operator. Verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 20,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before use. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the shank is fully seated and secured in the collet or chuck.
