This coated 244D flap wheel uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive material and has a diameter of 1 1/2 in. 3M incorporates this aluminum oxide material into the flap wheel forming a grit of 60. All abrasive products that rotate or spin, such as the ones in this category, have a maximum speed at which you can run them. This 3M flap wheel can be run at a maximum speed of 30000. Versatile aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp. The flap construction helps deliver fine finishes with individually-mounted abrasive flaps that continually lap the surface. The rayon cloth backing is flexible, firm and resistant to edge wear. The cloth-backed abrasives are a good match for metalworking applications.
