3M 7000028438 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000028438 is a Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel designed for producing uniform brushed, satin, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Built with a convolute construction wound around a fiber core, the wheel delivers consistent abrasive cutting action while running smooth and cool. The open-web design resists loading, making it effective for finishing stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch arbor, this wheel is suited for bench grinders and finishing machines used by metalworkers, fabricators, plumbers, and trade professionals working with decorative or functional metal components.

This wheel is used in applications requiring uniform surface finishing on flat, irregular, or contoured metal workpieces. Typical uses include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel, creating brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Its high conformability allows it to follow contoured surfaces without gouging or undercutting the base material, making it practical for both production and detail finishing work.
