3M 7000028446 Scotch-brite Mu-wl 6 Inch Finishing Wheel

Product Description

The 3M 7000028446 is the Scotch-Brite MU-WL Multi-Finishing Wheel, a convolute-constructed abrasive wheel designed for cleaning and final finishing of stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals. At 6 inches in diameter, this wheel uses silicon carbide mineral and a soft, open non-woven web construction that runs cool during operation, reducing heat buildup on sensitive materials. The combination of mineral grades and lighter density gives technicians controlled, consistent material removal suited to final finishing stages rather than aggressive stock removal. It weighs 0.78 pounds and ships as an individual unit.

This wheel is suited for metal fabrication, maintenance, and finishing shops where contoured or curved surfaces require a conformable abrasive. Applications include final finishing passes on stainless steel components, non-ferrous metal parts, and fabricated assemblies where surface uniformity matters. The moderate aggressiveness of the wheel makes it appropriate for controlled finishing work rather than heavy grinding or cutting operations. Machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing professionals are the primary users of this wheel type.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers a balanced, smooth-running wheel throughout its service life
• Open, non-woven web runs cool and reduces heat impact on heat-sensitive metals
• Highly conformable design works on contoured, curved, and irregular surfaces
• Moderate aggressiveness and lighter density provide consistent results over the life of the wheel
• Silicon carbide mineral provides uniform grain for final finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use finishing wheel for bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting 6-inch diameter convolute abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards, including ANSI B11.9 guidelines for bench and pedestal grinders. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any wheel. Inspect the wheel for visible damage before mounting and confirm the arbor size and machine speed rating are compatible before use. Do not exceed the maximum rated RPM for this wheel.
