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 exact model and brand recognition. 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. The flap wheel is perfect for users seeking quality from a trusted manufacturer.
Precise Size And Format
This flap wheel measures 3 in x 1 in x 1/4 in, making it suitable for detailed work on various metal surfaces. The specific dimensions allow it to fit well in many tools and applications.
The Type 83 format enhances its flexibility and adaptability, conforming to rounded or irregular surfaces for a smooth cut. This makes it ideal for blending and deburring tasks.
Durable X-weight Backing
The flap wheel features an X-weight cotton backing that withstands aggressive sanding and grinding. This backing provides toughness while maintaining flexibility to fit workpieces comfortably.
Its design ensures the abrasive flaps wear evenly, exposing fresh material for consistent sanding throughout the wheel’s life. This backing supports long-lasting use in demanding conditions.
Effective Abrasive Blend
Using an 80 X-weight grade, the flap wheel incorporates a ceramic aluminum oxide blend for excellent cut rate and durability. This mix offers better performance than standard aluminum oxide abrasives.
The ceramic abrasive flaps cut fast and handle heat well, making them suitable for moderate stock removal and surface preparation on metals. This blend enhances the wheel’s overall efficiency.
Convenient Pack Size
The 3M Flap Wheel 747D comes in a pack of 10 ea/Case, providing a ready supply for ongoing projects. This pack size supports both professional and frequent users who need multiple wheels on hand.
Having a case of 10 wheels ensures less downtime for replacements and consistent availability for various grinding, blending, and polishing jobs.
