Product Details
The 3M™ flap wheel Type 83 244D measures 3" x 1" x 1/4" and features an 80 grit aluminum oxide construction. This general purpose flap wheel is designed to deliver a consistent finish and uniform cut, making it suitable for a variety of grinding and polishing applications. It is made of aluminum oxide on a firm, X-weight cloth backing, which is favored by industrial professionals due to its fast cut-rate and long life. Aluminum oxide is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to reveal fresh cutting edges, contrasting with traditional natural abrasives that dull more quickly. The flap wheel is known for its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, and is widely used in grinding, sanding, and finishing applications. It is long-lasting, fast cutting, and resin bonded for heat resistance, and features a straight spindle mount for easy attachment, making it compatible with bench motors, die grinders, and inline sanders. Key applications include blending, descaling, refining, and setting the grain, with its primary use in the metal fabrication industry.
