Superior Abrasives A008556 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A008556 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, blending, and deburring on a wide range of materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive in a coated, interleaved configuration, it delivers consistent stock removal and smooth finish results at up to 12,000 RPM. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into compatible rotary tools, and the 2-inch diameter with a 1-inch face width provides solid contact area for contour work. This wheel is suited for use by machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals who need controlled material removal on tight geometries.

This mounted flap wheel fits into finishing workflows where a die grinder or flex shaft tool is already in use. It is rated for medium grade cutting and performs across composite materials, exotic alloys, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and stainless steel. The interleaved flap design conforms to irregular surfaces, making it appropriate for weld blending, edge radiusing, and surface prep in both shop and field environments. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide coated abrasive construction for consistent cutting action across multiple material types
• Interleaved flap design conforms to contours and irregular surfaces
• 12,000 RPM maximum speed rating for use with standard die grinders and flex shaft tools
• 1/4-inch shank diameter for direct mounting without adapters on compatible tools
• Medium grade, 80 grit - suited for blending, deburring, and light stock removal
• 2-inch diameter with 1-inch face width for broad surface contact on rotary applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with flex shaft tools and straight shaft die grinders accepting a 1/4-inch shank. Rated for use on composite material, exotic alloys, ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fabricators using a straight shaft die grinder or flex shaft tool. Confirm the tool spindle accepts a 1/4-inch shank and that the tool RPM rating does not exceed the 12,000 RPM maximum marked on this wheel. Secure the shank fully in the collet before operation and inspect the flap wheel for damage before each use. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive wheels.
