Flap Mounted Grinding Wheel GEKO model G78766 80x40x6 mm P60, pack options 10 or 100

The GEKO flap mounted grinding wheel G78766 with dimensions 80 x 40 x 6 mm and abrasive grit P60 is a compact abrasive tool intended for material removal, surface finishing and deburring when mounted on a suitable spindle or rotary tool. The wheel's construction with overlapping abrasive flaps provides a balance between stock removal and surface refinement, making it suitable for a range of metalworking and maintenance operations. It is supplied in practical pack sizes for workshop use.

Advantages

The flap design delivers consistent cutting action while conforming to irregular shapes, reducing the risk of gouging on curved or profiled surfaces. The P60 grit offers a medium-coarse abrasive action that accelerates material removal yet still leaves a relatively uniform finish compared with coarser grades. Compatibility with standard 6 mm spindle shafts enables easy fitting to common rotary tools and micro-motor spindles used in maintenance and fabrication shops. Available in pack options of 10 or 100, the product supports both occasional repair work and higher-volume use.

Suitable for

• Removing rust, scale and paint from metal parts
• Deburring cut edges and welded seams
• Shaping and smoothing uneven surfaces on steel and non-ferrous metals
• Preparing surfaces before painting or coating
• General maintenance and workshop repair tasks that require a compact abrasive wheel

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 80 mm
• Working width: 40 mm
• Bore diameter / shaft compatibility: 6 mm
• Abrasive grit: P60 (medium-coarse)
• Construction: flap-mounted abrasive discs for conforming action

How to use

Fit the flap mounted grinding wheel onto a compatible spindle with a secure collet or chuck and ensure the wheel is centered and fastened according to the rotary tool manufacturer's instructions. Start the tool at low speed to check for runout or imbalance, then increase to the recommended operating speed for the wheel and the workpiece material. Apply light to moderate pressure and move the wheel steadily across the surface to avoid creating grooves; allow the abrasive flaps to wear progressively for a consistent finish. Use appropriate cutting fluids only if recommended for the specific material and tool, and do not exceed the speed rating of the mounting spindle.

Usage recommendations

Always wear suitable personal protective equipment: eye protection, gloves and respiratory protection as needed. Inspect the wheel before each use for damage or excessive wear and replace when flaps are significantly abraded or the wheel shows cracks. Match the P60 grit to the task: choose P60 for medium material removal and initial finishing, and consider finer or coarser grits for different surface requirements.
