Flap Mounted Grinding Wheel Glob model GLOB-SL-80506-COARSE 80 grit 80×50×6 mm

Flap Mounted Grinding Wheel Glob model GLOB-SL-80506-COARSE 80 grit 80×50×6 mm is a compact mounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, deburring and light stock removal on metal and other hard materials. The wheel’s layered abrasive flaps conform to contours and provide consistent material removal while reducing heat build-up. Its small diameter and 6 mm shank make it suitable for use in angle grinders and rotary tools equipped with compatible collets or chucks.

Advantages

The flap-mounted construction offers flexible contact with the workpiece, enabling smooth contouring and blending in confined areas without aggressive gouging. The 80-grit abrasive balances cutting speed and surface quality, allowing efficient removal of burrs and light imperfections while preparing surfaces for further finishing. Compact dimensions improve access to tight spaces and make the wheel easier to control on precision tasks.

Suitable for

• Deburring edges and weld seams on steel and stainless steel
• Surface blending and smoothing of castings and forgings
• Light stock removal and shape correction on metal components
• Finishing and cleaning of hard materials where access is limited

Key specifications

• Abrasion grit: 80 (coarse)
• Wheel diameter: 80 mm
• Face width: 50 mm
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Mounted flap construction for flexible abrasive contact
• Suitable for use with handheld angle grinders and rotary tools with compatible shank holders

How to use

Mount the flap grinding wheel in the tool’s chuck or collet according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the shank is secured and the wheel runs true. Operate the tool at the recommended rotational speed for mounted flap wheels and apply light, even pressure while moving the wheel across the work surface. Maintain steady motion to avoid concentrated heat and premature wear of the abrasive flaps. Replace the wheel when abrasive performance drops or if the wheel shows signs of damage.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and respiratory protection when working with metal dust. Select the 80-grit flap wheel for tasks requiring a balance between material removal and surface quality; for finer or coarser finishes, choose a different grit. Regularly inspect the shank fit and wheel integrity before use.
