3M Flap Wheel 747D, 60 X-weight, Type 83, 1 in x 1 in x 1/4 in, 10 ea/Case

• 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
• Includes a grind-aid to provide cooler running on stainless-steel and other metals
• Resin bonding resists thermal and chemical deterioration for extended wheel life
• X-weight cotton backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding

3M Flap Wheel 747D 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 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 offers reliable performance with its well-known brand quality. This model is designed for light grinding and polishing tasks, making it a versatile choice for various metalworking needs.

Its 60 X-weight grade ensures a balance between durability and smooth finish. The flap wheel’s construction supports consistent results on rounded or irregular surfaces.

Precise Size And Format

This flap wheel measures 1 inch by 1 inch by 1/4 inch, providing a compact size ideal for detailed work. The 1/4 inch thickness allows it to fit in tight spaces while maintaining effective abrasive contact.

The Type 83 format ensures compatibility with many standard tools, making it easy to integrate into existing setups. Its size and format support efficient sanding and blending on various metal surfaces.

Durable X-weight Backing

The flap wheel features an X-weight cotton backing, which stands up to aggressive sanding and grinding. This backing is flexible enough to conform to workpieces while resisting wear during tough applications.

This cotton backing helps the wheel maintain its shape and performance over time, contributing to longer-lasting use. It supports the flap wheel’s ability to deliver smooth, consistent finishes.

Effective Ceramic Blend Abrasive

The abrasive flaps use a ceramic aluminum oxide blend, enhancing cut rate and wheel life. This mix is tougher and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide, making it ideal for moderate stock removal.

Its ceramic abrasive design handles heat and stress well, allowing for faster cutting and cooler running on metals like stainless steel. This improves efficiency and reduces downtime during work.

Convenient Pack Size Case

This product comes in a pack of 10 each, providing a ready supply for ongoing projects. Having multiple wheels on hand reduces interruptions and supports continuous workflow.

The case format makes storage and transport easier, keeping the flap wheels organized and protected. This pack size suits both professional and hobbyist users needing consistent abrasive tools.
