Tru-maxx SZUFW4180 Flap Wheel 180 Grit 6x0.5 in

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX SZUFW4180 is a coated, unmounted aluminum oxide flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing and deburring on metal, wood, and composite materials. Measuring 6 inches in diameter by 0.5 inches wide with a 1-inch center hole for arbor mounting, this wheel runs at a maximum of 6,000 RPM. At 180 grit, it falls in the very fine grade range, making it well-suited for final-pass blending, light stock removal, and surface preparation before coating or inspection. It weighs approximately 0.34 pounds and ships individually.

This flap wheel is a common choice for bench grinder or die grinder setups where consistent, controlled finishing is needed. Typical applications include blending weld seams, cleaning up machined edges, and preparing interior bores or contoured surfaces that flat abrasives cannot reach effectively. The unmounted format requires a compatible arbor or mandrel. It is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and industrial finishing environments by machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals.

Key Features

• 180 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for very fine surface finishing and light material removal
• Coated abrasive construction with no interleaf for consistent contact across the wheel face
• 6-inch outside diameter with 0.5-inch width fits standard bench grinder and arbor setups
• 1-inch center hole for secure arbor or mandrel mounting
• Rated to 6,000 RPM maximum for controlled, safe operation
• Unmounted format allows use across multiple compatible arbors and spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an unmounted flap wheel for use with compatible arbors or mandrels accepting a 1-inch center hole and accommodating a 6-inch diameter wheel. Verify arbor RPM rating meets or exceeds the 6,000 RPM maximum before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and lock out the grinder or spindle before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the arbor or mandrel is rated for the wheel diameter and RPM before use. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
