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 proven brand and model. This flap wheel is designed to deliver consistent results for light grinding and polishing tasks.
Its 80 X-weight grade ensures a balance between aggressive sanding and smooth finishing. This makes it suitable for a variety of metalworking applications where quality matters.
Precise Size And Format
This flap wheel measures 2 in x 1 in x 1/4 in, providing a compact size that fits well in many tools. The Type 83 format allows for easy mounting and use in different grinding setups.
Its dimensions make it ideal for working on rounded or irregular surfaces, offering flexibility in handling detailed or hard-to-reach areas during sanding or blending.
Durable X-weight Backing
The flap wheel features an X-weight cotton backing that withstands aggressive sanding and grinding. This backing offers toughness while remaining flexible enough to conform to workpieces.
This durability extends the wheel’s life and maintains consistent abrasive contact, which is essential for tasks like deburring and polishing various metals.
Effective Abrasive Blend
Its 80 X-weight grade is paired with a ceramic aluminum oxide blend, enhancing cut rate and wheel life. This mix is engineered to cut fast and handle heat during moderate stock removal.
The ceramic abrasive flaps conform to the workpiece, providing a smooth, clean finish. This makes the wheel perfect for surface preparation and finishing on metals.
Convenient Case Packaging
This product comes in a pack of 10 ea/Case, making it easy to stock up for ongoing projects. Having multiple wheels on hand reduces downtime and keeps work flowing smoothly.
The case packaging also helps protect the flap wheels during storage and transport, ensuring they stay in good condition until needed for use.
