Superior Abrasives A009572 Mounted Flap Wheel 320 Grit

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A009572 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and blending on a range of materials. Measuring 3 inches in diameter with a 2-inch face width, this wheel mounts via a 1/4-inch shank and is rated for use with straight shaft die grinders. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide on a cloth backing with a J-weight designation, delivering consistent cut at 320 grit in an extra fine grade classification. Maximum operating speed is 6,000 RPM. Metal fabricators, aerospace technicians, and industrial maintenance trades use this type of wheel for controlled finishing work where a handheld rotary tool is required.

This flap wheel suits applications across composite materials, exotic alloys, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and stainless steel. The coated, cloth-backed construction conforms to curved and irregular surfaces better than rigid abrasive wheels, making it a practical choice for weld blending, deburring, and surface prep work in tight or contoured areas. It is sized for use with standard straight shaft die grinders common in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments.

Key Features

• 320 grit extra fine aluminum oxide abrasive for controlled, fine-finish surface work
• 3-inch diameter and 2-inch face width provide solid contact area on flat and contoured surfaces
• 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into straight shaft die grinders
• Cloth backing with J-weight construction flexes to follow surface contours
• Rated to 6,000 RPM for safe use at standard die grinder operating speeds
• Compatible with composite material, exotic alloy, ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and stainless steel workpieces

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 threading or inserting the 1/4-inch shank into the collet of a straight shaft die grinder. Always confirm the grinder is unplugged or air supply is disconnected before mounting or removing the wheel. Do not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum speed rating. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow applicable ANSI B7 safety standards for abrasive wheel use.
