Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel, 661606, 80, 6 in x 2 in x 1 in, Case of 5

• Aluminum oxide cuts quickly and suits ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Available in a broad range of sizes and grades to suit almost any part
• Coated abrasive flaps provide aggressive stock removal, blending, finishing and cleaning
• Flaps provide coverage on contoured or radiused surfaces
• Produces a straight line finish
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and operator fatigue

The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel works well on inside and outside diameters of metal workpieces for high stock removal and aggressive blending, finishing and cleaning, and leaves a straight line finish. Choose from a wide range of diameters with different attachment styles to achieve consistent coverage on many different contours and shapes.

Flaps Offer Aggressive Cut on Radiused and Contoured Parts
A flap wheel comes in handy when you're faced with the challenge of cleaning up burrs and parting lines on radiused or specially shaped parts where coated discs are not conformable enough or do not have the necessary reach. We offer the Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel in smaller diameters for attachment to hand-held tools, and larger diameters for off-hand applications. A broad selection of grades is available to deburr edges, remove flash and parting lines, blend machine marks, apply a linear scratch pattern, or provide light blending, cleaning, or polishing.

Compared with non-woven products, flap wheels offer a more aggressive cut for cleaning or finishing. If a silicon carbide product is preferred for finishing applications, consider our Standard Abrasives™ Silicon Carbide Flap Wheel, available in 1-3˝ diameters (sold separately). When a job requires even more flexibility for improved finishing, or to reduce dust, we suggest a Standard Abrasives™ Flexible Flap Wheel (sold separately), which has flaps with increased flexibility and a slight radius to the flaps.

 

Some tools may require an additional reducer bushing or adapter for wheel attachment.

 

Small Wheels Access Inner Radiuses and Maintain Maximum Control
Our flap wheels with smaller diameters provide access to smaller and harder-to-access inner radiuses or contours on irregular parts. They are especially useful for cleaning or deburring the insides of tubing. For these smaller areas, flap wheels provide a softer touch than rolls or bands, which are suitable when more aggressive material removal is required.

Our smaller wheels are 1-3˝ in diameter have a 1/4˝ steel mandrel or a 1/4˝-20 threaded steel shank to enable fast yet secure product change outs. In each case the steel attachment runs the full width of the wheel center, reducing chatter in the rotation. As a result, you get a smoother finish and the operator maintains greater control of the tool with less pressure and increasing productivity.

 

Large Wheels Supply Broader Coverage
For larger hand tools or off-hand applications, we provide flap wheels in diameters from 3-1/2˝ to 8˝ with 1˝ or 2˝ widths. These sizes have a 5/8˝ or 1˝ center hole compatible with larger tool arbors. The larger wheels contain more flaps per wheel for faster cutting, increased productivity and longer life.

Durable Wheel, Fast Cut
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its versatility on different surfaces, fast cut-rate and long life. It is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives such as garnet quickly wear down with use. Aluminum oxide mineral is suitable for a wide variety of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Quality Standard Abrasives™ Products for Industrial Applications
The Standard Abrasives brand has supplied quality abrasives to the metalworking industry for over 50 years. Customers rely on our broad offering of high performance products including coated, bonded, and non-woven abrasive lines.

Trusted Standard Abrasives Quality

The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel, model 661606, is a reliable choice for metalworking tasks. This product carries the trusted Standard Abrasives brand known for over 50 years of quality in coated, bonded, and non-woven abrasives.

Its aluminum oxide abrasive offers fast cutting and long life, making it suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This wheel is designed to deliver consistent performance across various industrial applications.

Precise Size And Dimensions

This flap wheel measures 6 in x 2 in x 1 in, providing a balanced size for many metal finishing jobs. The dimensions allow it to access both flat and contoured surfaces effectively, ensuring thorough coverage.

With a 5 ea/Case pack count, users can maintain productivity by having multiple wheels ready for quick changes. The size and quantity make it ideal for both hand-held and off-hand tool applications.

Effective Grade And Cut

The 80 grit aluminum oxide grade offers aggressive stock removal while maintaining a smooth finish. This grade is versatile enough to deburr edges, blend machine marks, and clean surfaces efficiently.

Aluminum oxide’s self-fracturing property exposes fresh cutting edges during use, ensuring a fast cut rate and longer wheel life compared to traditional abrasives like garnet.

Flap Wheel Format Benefits

The flap wheel format features coated abrasive flaps that conform well to radiused and contoured parts. This design provides aggressive cutting and a straight line finish on inside and outside diameters of metal workpieces.

Flaps cover irregular shapes better than coated discs, making this wheel ideal for cleaning burrs, blending, and finishing on complex parts. The steel mandrel reduces chatter and operator fatigue for smoother operation.

Versatile Application And Use

This flap wheel suits a broad range of metalworking tasks, from deburring to polishing. Its 6 in diameter and 2 in width fit many tool arbors, supporting both hand-held and off-hand applications.

With five wheels per case, users can handle multiple projects or extended work periods without interruption. The product’s size and pack count help maintain workflow efficiency in industrial settings.
