Mixed Ceramic Abrasive
Each flap on the 3M Flap Wheel 747D 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 it an excellent choice for moderate stock removal and surface preparation.High Quality Construction
The abrasive mix is attached to a flexible cotton 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. This wheel also includes a grinding aid for cooler running on stainless steel. Each flap uses an X-weight 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 Advantages
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. 3M flap wheels are 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 747D is designed to deliver consistent performance with its proven brand quality. This model features a 60 X-weight grade, ensuring a balance between durability and effective sanding.
Ideal for various metalworking tasks, the 3M 747D flap wheel offers reliable results thanks to its carefully engineered abrasive flaps. Its Type 83 construction supports smooth and efficient grinding.
Precise Size And Format
This flap wheel measures 1-1/2 inches by 1 inch by 1/4 inch, providing a compact size that fits many tools and applications. Its dimensions make it suitable for detailed work on rounded or irregular surfaces.
The Type 83 format ensures the abrasive flaps are arranged for optimal contact and flexibility. This design helps the wheel conform to the workpiece for a smooth finish every time.
Durable X-Weight Backing
The 60 X-weight cotton backing used in this flap wheel stands up to aggressive sanding and grinding. It offers a tough yet flexible base that bends to fit different shapes without losing strength.
This backing supports the abrasive flaps throughout their life, allowing the wheel to maintain consistent sanding performance. It also helps resist wear during demanding metalworking tasks.
Efficient Ceramic Blend Abrasive
The 3M 747D flap wheel uses a ceramic aluminum oxide blend for its abrasive flaps. This mix provides excellent cut rate and longer life compared to standard abrasives, making it ideal for moderate stock removal.
This ceramic blend is engineered to handle heat and stress, ensuring the wheel performs well on stainless steel and other metals. It keeps the cutting action fast and effective throughout use.
Convenient Pack Of Ten
This product comes in a pack of 10 flap wheels, offering good value and ready supply for ongoing projects. Having multiple wheels on hand reduces downtime and keeps work moving smoothly.
The pack size supports both professional and hobbyist needs, ensuring you have enough wheels for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing tasks on various metals.
