3M Flap Wheel 741A, 80 X-weight, 6 in x 1 in x 1 in, Case of 5

• Abrasive flap design provides a soft and smooth cut on rounded or irregular surfaces
• Ceramic aluminum oxide blend offers excellent cut rate and life for better performance
• Flaps wear down to expose fresh abrasive mineral, assuring a fast and consistent cut
• Resin bonding resists thermal and chemical deterioration for extended wheel life
• X-weight polyester/cotton backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding

The 3M Flap Wheel 741A was designed for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on a variety of metals. Ceramic abrasive covered flaps conform to the work piece and provide a smooth clean finish.

Mixed Ceramic Abrasive
Each flap on the 3M Flap Wheel 741A is covered with a ceramic abrasive mix, which was designed using a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain. For increased performance, this mix features aluminum oxide blended with 3M ceramic grain to create a harder, longer-lasting abrasive. Perfect for light to moderate stock removal, ceramic abrasives are engineered to cut fast and handle intense heat and stress applications. Ceramic/aluminum oxide blend surpasses aluminum oxide abrasives in cut-rate and durability and makes 3M Flap Wheel 741A an excellent choice for moderate stock removal and surface preparation.

Tough Construction
The abrasive mix is attached to a flexible backing using a resin bond. This resin bonding material is specially designed to resist thermal and chemical deterioration, which can occur during high speed sanding. This bond is very hard which allows for faster cuts and a higher cut rate. Each flap uses an X-weight polyster/cotton backing, which provides a tough, but flexible surface that bends to fit any work piece. As the wheel is used, the self-cutting flaps wear away to expose sharp, new abrasive material, assuring that surfaces are sanded consistently throughout the life of the wheel.

Flap Wheel Design
Coated Abrasive flap wheels are the ideal choice for light grinding, blending, graining and scale removal on a variety of metals. The abrasive flaps offer a long lasting supply of fresh abrasives and a load resistant design. Available in both flange mounted and spindle mounted constructions with general purpose aluminum oxide or high performing 3M ceramic aluminum oxide blend abrasive grain.

Trusted 3M Flap Wheel

The 3M Flap Wheel 741A is a reliable choice for various metalworking tasks. This exact model combines quality and durability, ensuring consistent performance in light grinding and polishing jobs.

Designed by 3M, the 741A flap wheel features a ceramic aluminum oxide blend that enhances cut rate and lifespan. Its construction supports smooth finishes on irregular surfaces.

Effective 80 X-weight Backing

This flap wheel uses an 80 X-weight polyester/cotton backing, which stands up to aggressive sanding and grinding. The backing’s toughness helps maintain shape while flexing to fit curved or uneven surfaces.

The X-weight backing also contributes to the wheel’s durability, allowing it to handle demanding tasks without tearing or losing effectiveness over time.

Precise 6 Inch Dimensions

The flap wheel measures 6 inches by 1 inch by 1 inch, providing a balanced size for both reach and control. These dimensions make it suitable for detailed work as well as broader surface preparation.

Its size allows it to fit a variety of tools and applications, making the 3M Flap Wheel 741A versatile for different metalworking needs.

Consistent 5 Ea Case

Each case contains 5 flap wheels, offering a convenient supply for ongoing projects. This pack size supports efficient workflow without frequent reordering.

Having multiple wheels in one case ensures you can replace worn wheels quickly, maintaining productivity and consistent sanding quality.

Durable Abrasive Design

The flap wheel’s ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive mix wears down to reveal fresh mineral layers, keeping the cut fast and consistent. This design extends the wheel’s life and performance.

Resin bonding resists heat and chemical damage, while the flap construction adapts to workpiece shapes, making it ideal for blending, deburring, and polishing metals.
