Grinding wheel GRAPHITE 55H762 for rotary tool — wood, Ø80 mm, shank 6 mm

GRAPHITE 55H762 grinding wheel for rotary tool is a spindle-mounted flap wheel designed for working with wood. The abrasive wheel has an outer diameter of 80 mm and a width of 30 mm, mounted on a 6 mm shank to fit face grinders, rotary tools and drills that accept a 6 mm arbor. Constructed from overlapping abrasive flaps bonded to a robust X-type cloth base, the wheel provides consistent contact with contoured and flat wooden surfaces for sanding, shaping and finishing tasks.

Advantages

The closed-fill construction (100% surface covered with abrasive grains) delivers uniform wear and higher finish precision. Aloxite abrasive grain combined with a heavy X-type cloth base ensures durability and stability during machine grinding. The flexible flap design adapts to profiles and edges while maintaining effective material removal on wood surfaces.

Suitable for

• Sanding and finishing wooden workpieces and edges
• Shaping and deburring wood components
• Surface preparation before painting or varnishing
• Working on contoured or irregular wooden surfaces

How to use

Secure the 6 mm shank of the GRAPHITE 55H762 into the chuck of a compatible rotary tool, drill or face grinder. Start at low speed to check balance and run-out, then increase to the recommended operating speed for flap wheels suited to wooden surfaces. Apply light, even pressure and move the wheel along the workpiece to avoid gouging; allow the abrasive flaps to conform to contours for consistent sanding. Replace the wheel when abrasive efficiency declines or when flap wear compromises finish quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and respiratory protection and gloves. Match the tool speed and feed pressure to the task and avoid excessive lateral force on the wheel. For best finish on wood, test on a scrap piece to confirm speed and technique before working on the final component.
