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 well-known brand and model. This flap wheel is designed to provide smooth and consistent results, making it a trusted choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Its P120 X-weight grade ensures a balance between cutting speed and finish quality. This makes the 747D suitable for various light grinding and polishing tasks.
Precise Size And Format
This flap wheel measures 3 in x 1 in x 1/4 in, fitting many standard tools and applications. The Type 83 format allows for easy mounting and stable operation during use.
Its compact size helps reach rounded or irregular surfaces effectively, while the flap design adapts to contours for a smooth cut every time.
Durable X-Weight Backing
The X-weight cotton backing used in this flap wheel stands up to aggressive sanding and grinding. This tough backing supports the abrasive flaps, ensuring they last longer under demanding conditions.
Because it flexes to fit the workpiece, the backing helps maintain consistent contact and finish quality, even on uneven surfaces.
Efficient Ceramic Abrasive Blend
The P120 grade flap wheel features a ceramic aluminum oxide blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard abrasives. This mix is designed to handle heat and stress, improving overall performance.
This abrasive combination is ideal for moderate stock removal and surface preparation, making it a versatile choice for various metalworking tasks.
