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

Precise 80 X-weight Grade
This flap wheel features an 80 X-weight grade, providing a balance between aggressive sanding and fine finishing. The grade is perfect for moderate stock removal while maintaining surface quality. It’s a versatile choice for many metalworking applications.
With this grade, you can expect consistent abrasion without damaging the workpiece. The 80 X-weight backing supports the abrasive flaps, allowing them to conform to irregular surfaces for a smooth cut.
Compact 2 Inch Dimensions
The flap wheel measures 2 inches by 1 inch by 1/4 inch-20, making it compact and easy to handle. These dimensions allow it to fit into tight spaces and work on detailed areas with precision. The size is ideal for both flange and spindle mounting.
Its 2-inch diameter and 1-inch width provide a good balance of surface area and control. The 1/4 inch-20 thread ensures compatibility with common tool spindles, making setup straightforward and secure.
Durable Type 84 Format
The flap wheel uses a Type 84 format, which is designed for durability and flexibility. This format supports the abrasive flaps in a way that allows them to wear evenly and expose fresh abrasive material during use. It’s built to last through multiple projects.
Type 84 wheels are known for their ability to conform to rounded or irregular surfaces. This makes them excellent for blending, deburring, and polishing tasks where precision and finish quality matter.
Convenient 10 Ea Case
This product comes in a pack of 10 each per case, providing good value and supply for ongoing work. Having multiple wheels on hand reduces downtime and ensures you’re ready for any job requiring flap wheels of this specification.
The case quantity supports both professional and hobbyist users who need consistent access to quality abrasive wheels. It’s a practical choice for workshops and job sites needing reliable stock.
