3M 7000045852 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000045852 is a Scotch-Brite CP-WL Cut and Polish Wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing on metal and fabricated surfaces. Built with an aluminum oxide mineral abrasive and a non-woven web construction, this 8-inch diameter wheel delivers a hard, consistent cut while resisting loading during extended use. It produces a tight scratch pattern suited to defect removal and heavy scratch blending. Weighing 2.3 pounds, the wheel is sized for bench-mounted or angle grinder applications where surface conditioning work demands more cutting action than standard finishing wheels provide.

This wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and general industrial maintenance where operators need to blend heavy scratches, remove surface defects, or condition welds and base metal prior to finishing. The CP-WL construction is harder than conventional non-woven finishing wheels, making it a direct functional replacement for rubber-bonded wheels used in similar blending and deburring workflows. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral abrasive provides aggressive cut for heavy-duty blending and finishing
• Non-woven web construction resists premature loading for extended service life
• Harder construction than standard finishing wheels enables effective defect removal
• Produces a tight, consistent scratch pattern suitable for pre-finishing surface prep
• Functional replacement for rubber-bonded grinding and blending wheels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for rubber-bonded blending and finishing wheels used in metal fabrication and surface conditioning applications on bench grinders and compatible angle grinder setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by qualified operators familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 and applicable workplace safety standards. Verify that the grinder or arbor speed rating meets or exceeds the wheel maximum RPM before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or compromised abrasive wheel.
