Grinding wheel GRAPHITE 55H760 for rotary tools — wood, 80 mm diameter, 6 mm shank

GRAPHITE 55H760 is a spindle-mounted flap grinding wheel for rotary tools, engineered for machining wood and suitable for occasional work on metal and plastic. The wheel has an 80 mm diameter, 30 mm width and a 6 mm shank, making it compatible with standard collets that accept a 6 mm pin. Constructed from overlapping abrasive flaps fixed to a central spindle, the tool delivers conforming contact with shaped surfaces and edges to support shaping, sanding and finishing tasks.

Advantages

The abrasive flaps are made from aloxite-grain abrasive on a heavy X-type cloth backing, providing high strength and resistance appropriate for machine grinding. The wheel is closed-filled — abrasive covers 100% of the surface — which increases durability and ensures consistent surface finish. Its 6 mm shank allows direct mounting in rotary tools such as drills, face grinders and screwdrivers with matching collets, simplifying tool changes and reducing setup time.

Suitable for

• Shaping and profiling wooden edges and contours
• Sanding and smoothing wooden surfaces before finishing
• Light deburring and surface blending on plastic parts
• Minor grinding and surface preparation on metal where flap wheels are appropriate

How to use

Install the GRAPHITE 55H760 flap wheel into a rotary tool with a collet or chuck that accepts a 6 mm shank and tighten according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Run the rotary tool at appropriate speed for the material and wheel size; avoid excessive pressure and let the abrasive flaps conform to the workpiece. Use steady, controlled passes and move the wheel along the grain on wood to achieve an even finish. Inspect the wheel regularly for wear or damage and replace when abrasive performance declines or cloth backing is exposed.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust extraction or respiratory protection when working with wood, metal or plastic. Select an appropriate rotation speed within the rotary tool's and wheel's safe operating range, and avoid side-loading the shank. For best results on wood, begin with light pressure and finish with progressively finer abrasives after the K40 flap wheel if a smoother surface is required.
