Sait 71040 Unmounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit 2x1 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The SAIT 71040 is a coated abrasive unmounted flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, and finishing work on metal and wood surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a cloth backing, it delivers consistent stock removal at a coarse 60 grit rating. The wheel measures 2 inches in outside diameter by 1 inch in face width and features a 1/4-20 threaded center hole for direct mounting to compatible die grinder arbors. With a maximum rated speed of 25,000 RPM, it handles aggressive material removal without requiring an interleaf construction. Licensed tradespeople and skilled fabricators rely on this type of wheel for weld blending, deburring, and surface prep in tight or contoured work areas.

This flap wheel is suited for use with die grinders in both shop and field environments. Its coarse 60 grit aluminum oxide construction makes it appropriate for initial surface conditioning, weld seam blending, and removing scale or oxidation from metal workpieces. It also performs on wood surfaces where aggressive shaping or stock removal is needed. The compact 2-inch diameter allows access to restricted geometries where larger wheels cannot reach. The cloth backing provides flexibility and durability under load, reducing premature abrasive breakdown during extended passes.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices.
