Value Collection 324684 Flap Wheel 60 Grit 8x2 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 324684 is an unmounted flap wheel designed for surface blending, deburring, and finishing on metal and other hard materials. It features an aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a cloth backing with an X-weight backing for added durability under load. At 8 inches in outside diameter and 2 inches wide, this medium-grade 60-grit wheel is built for aggressive stock removal while leaving a consistent surface finish. It accommodates a 1-inch center hole for mounting on compatible arbors and spindles, and is rated for a maximum of 4,500 RPM. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance trades use this type of wheel on bench-mounted or pedestal grinding setups.

This flap wheel is suited for general metal fabrication, weld blending, and edge conditioning on steel, aluminum, and similar substrates. Its 60-grit, medium-grade cut makes it effective for removing mill scale, light burrs, and surface irregularities without excessive loading. The unmounted design requires a separate arbor or mandrel matching the 1-inch bore. It is appropriate for use in production shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where consistent, repeatable surface prep is required.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 4,500 RPM maximum rating marked on this wheel before starting. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
