Superior Abrasives A023591 Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A023591 is a mounted flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, and finishing on a range of materials. It measures 3 inches in diameter with a 2 inch face width and mounts via a 1/4 inch shank for use with straight shaft die grinders and flex shaft tools. The abrasive is aluminum oxide at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade range for material removal and surface prep. An interleaf construction extends the life of the flap segments and helps maintain consistent contact across irregular surfaces. Rated to 8,000 RPM, this wheel suits applications where controlled stock removal and a blended finish are required. Licensed trades and fabrication shops are the primary users.

This flap wheel is suited for work on ferrous metals, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, composite materials, exotic alloys, and plastics. It fits into workflows where an operator needs a single mounted abrasive that can transition between deburring, weld blending, and surface conditioning without a tool change. The 1/4 inch shank connects directly to straight shaft die grinders or flex shaft tools, making it practical for tight geometries and contoured workpieces in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with flex shaft tools and straight shaft die grinders accepting a 1/4 inch shank. 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 compatible die grinder or flex shaft tool with a 1/4 inch collet. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 8,000 RPM maximum before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the shank is fully seated and secured in the collet. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating mounted abrasives.
