Superior Abrasives A009571 Mounted Flap Wheel 180 Grit

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A009571 is a shank-mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on a wide range of materials. It measures 3 inches in diameter with a 2-inch face width and carries a 1/4-inch shank for direct mounting into a straight shaft die grinder. The abrasive is 180-grit aluminum oxide on a cloth backing with a J-weight backing weight, placing it in the very fine grade range. Rated to a maximum of 6,000 RPM, this wheel is suited for controlled material removal, deburring, and surface conditioning where a consistent finish is required.

This mounted flap wheel is intended for use with a straight shaft die grinder and is well suited for finishing work on composite materials, exotic alloys, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and stainless steel. The 3-inch diameter and 2-inch face width provide good surface contact for contouring and blending on curved or irregular profiles. Machinists, fabricators, weld finishers, and maintenance technicians working in production or field environments will find this wheel appropriate for fine finishing passes where coarser grits have already done the stock removal.

Compatibility

Designed for use with straight shaft die grinders. Suitable for material applications including composite material, exotic alloy, ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a straight shaft die grinder. Ensure the grinder is fully powered off and the collet is secured before mounting or removing the shank. Do not exceed the rated maximum of 6,000 RPM. Inspect the flap wheel for damage before each use and discard if any flaps are torn or the shank shows signs of deformation.
