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 design. This model features the P120 X-weight grade, ensuring consistent abrasive action for light grinding and polishing tasks.
Ideal for various metalworking jobs, the 747D flap wheel combines 3M’s quality with a ceramic aluminum oxide blend that enhances cut rate and wheel life, making it a dependable choice for professionals.
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. Its Type 83 format is designed for effective sanding on rounded or irregular surfaces.
The 2-inch diameter and 1/4-inch arbor size make it compatible with common grinders, while the flap design ensures smooth cuts and consistent finish on various metal shapes.
Durable X-Weight Backing
The flap wheel uses an X-weight cotton backing that withstands aggressive sanding and grinding. This backing offers flexibility to conform to workpieces while maintaining strength during use.
Thanks to this tough backing, the wheel bends easily for better contact on curves and edges, extending its life and improving sanding quality on different metal surfaces.
Efficient Ceramic Abrasive Blend
The P120 grade flap wheel incorporates a ceramic aluminum oxide blend for superior cutting power. This mix delivers faster stock removal and longer-lasting abrasive performance compared to standard aluminum oxide.
Its ceramic abrasive flaps handle heat and stress well, making the wheel suitable for moderate grinding, blending, and deburring tasks on stainless steel and other metals.
Convenient Pack Size Included
This product comes in a pack of 10 ea/Case, providing enough flap wheels for multiple projects or extended use. Buying in bulk helps maintain productivity without frequent reordering.
The case quantity ensures you have a ready supply of 3M Flap Wheel 747D units, each built with resin bonding to resist thermal and chemical wear for longer wheel life.
