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 for reliable performance in light grinding and polishing tasks. This exact model, 747D, features a 60 X-weight grade that balances durability and smooth cutting.
Its flap design adapts well to rounded or irregular surfaces, making it a versatile choice for various metalworking jobs. The 3M brand ensures consistent quality and long-lasting use.
Precise Size And Dimensions
This flap wheel measures 2 inches by 1 inch by 1/4 inch, providing a compact size that fits many tools and applications. These dimensions allow for easy handling and precise control during sanding or blending.
The 2 in x 1 in x 1/4 in size is perfect for detailed work on metals, helping users reach tight spots while maintaining effective abrasive contact.
Durable X-Weight Backing
The flap wheel uses an X-weight cotton backing, which offers toughness and flexibility. This backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding without breaking down prematurely.
Thanks to this cotton backing, the wheel bends to fit the workpiece, ensuring consistent contact and a smooth finish throughout its use.
Effective Abrasive Grade
The 60 X-weight grade provides a balanced abrasive action that’s neither too coarse nor too fine. This grade is ideal for moderate stock removal and surface preparation on metals.
Combined with the ceramic aluminum oxide blend, this grade enhances cut rate and wheel life, making the flap wheel efficient for blending, deburring, and polishing.
Convenient Pack Size
This product comes in a pack of 10 ea/Case, ensuring you have enough flap wheels for multiple projects or extended use. Buying in bulk saves time and effort in reordering.
The case quantity supports professional and hobbyist users alike, providing a steady supply of the 3M Flap Wheel 747D for ongoing metal finishing tasks.
