Product Description
- 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
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 offers consistent performance thanks to its carefully engineered design and materials.
Known for quality, the 3M brand ensures durability and efficiency. The 741A model is designed to meet professional standards for light grinding and polishing.
Effective 80 X-weight Backing
This flap wheel features an 80 X-weight polyester/cotton backing that stands up to aggressive sanding and grinding. The backing provides flexibility while maintaining toughness for a smooth finish.
The X-weight backing helps the wheel conform to irregular surfaces, making it ideal for blending and deburring. It supports the abrasive flaps for consistent contact with the workpiece.
Precise 6 Inch Dimensions
Measuring 6 in x 2 in x 1 in, this flap wheel fits a range of tools and applications. The size allows for effective coverage on rounded or irregular surfaces.
The dimensions ensure the wheel can handle moderate stock removal while maintaining control. Its size is optimized for both flange and spindle mounting options.
Durable Ceramic Aluminum Oxide
The 3M Flap Wheel 741A uses a ceramic aluminum oxide blend for its abrasive flaps. This mix offers excellent cut rate and long life, outperforming standard aluminum oxide abrasives.
This ceramic blend is designed to handle heat and stress during sanding, making it suitable for moderate stock removal and surface preparation tasks.
Convenient 5 Ea Case
Each case contains 5 flap wheels, providing a practical supply for ongoing projects. This pack size supports continuous work without frequent reordering.
The 5 ea case format is ideal for workshops or professionals who need reliable access to replacement wheels. It balances quantity with storage convenience.
