Interleaf Flap Wheel, 80 Grit

This 3M 80801 flap wheel uses interleaved coated and non-woven aluminum oxide flaps on a straight 1/4 in shank. The 3 in overall diameter and 1.75 in flap width suit detail finishing and blending on contoured metal surfaces.

Metalworkers needing consistent coarse finishing

The Grade Coarse rating and X-weight backing remove material quickly but leave visible scratch patterns. Workers who require a mirror polish or fine satin finish should select a finer grit flap wheel or dedicated polishing accessory.

Maximum operating speed 8,000 RPM

The tool drive must not exceed this speed, or the wheel can disintegrate. Verify the grinder or drill press RPM rating matches 8,000 RPM before mounting the 1/4 in shank.

Questions about this item

What shank size does the 3M 80801 flap wheel need for my drill or die grinder?

The wheel has a straight 1/4 in shank that fits standard 1/4 in collets on drills and die grinders.

How do I install the 80801 wheel and what step is often missed?

Insert the 1/4 in shank fully into the collet, tighten securely, and verify the wheel spins true before applying it to the workpiece.

When will the 80 grit aluminum oxide flaps on the 80801 need replacement?

Replace the wheel when the coated and non-woven flaps wear down enough to lose cutting efficiency or surface finish quality.
