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 a reliable choice for light grinding and polishing tasks. This model features a 60 X-weight grade, ensuring consistent performance on various metals.
Designed with the 3M brand’s quality standards, the 747D flap wheel offers durability and smooth cutting action. Its Type 83 construction supports effective blending and deburring.
Precise Size And Format
This flap wheel measures 3 inches by 1 inch by 1/4 inch, making it suitable for detailed work on rounded or irregular surfaces. The dimensions allow easy handling and control during use.
The Type 83 format enhances flexibility, letting the abrasive flaps conform to the workpiece for a smooth finish. This size and format combination is ideal for light to moderate stock removal.
Durable X-Weight Backing
The 60 X-weight cotton backing on this flap wheel withstands aggressive sanding and grinding. It provides a tough yet flexible base that bends to fit the contours of your workpiece.
This backing supports the resin bond and ceramic abrasive mix, ensuring the wheel maintains its shape and effectiveness throughout its life. It’s perfect for consistent surface preparation.
Efficient Ceramic Abrasive Blend
The flap wheel uses a ceramic aluminum oxide blend that offers excellent cut rate and long life. This mix is engineered to cut fast and handle heat, making it suitable for stainless steel and other metals.
Each flap is coated with this abrasive blend, which surpasses traditional aluminum oxide in durability. It ensures a smooth, clean finish while maintaining performance during extended use.
Convenient Pack Size Included
This product comes in a pack of 10 each per case, providing a ready supply for multiple projects or extended use. The pack size helps maintain workflow without frequent reordering.
Having 10 flap wheels in one case is practical for workshops or professionals who need consistent quality and quantity. It supports efficient inventory management and project planning.
