3M 7000045984 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 14 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000045984 is a Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel designed to produce consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel and other metals. The wheel measures 14 inches in diameter with an 8-inch arbor bore and weighs 8 pounds. Its convolute construction winds nonwoven abrasive material around a fiber core, delivering smooth, controlled cutting action without gouging or undercutting the workpiece. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians use this wheel on stationary or automated finishing equipment where repeatable surface texture is required on production runs or custom metalwork.

This wheel is suited for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for applying uniform brushed or satin finishes to flat, irregular, or contoured surfaces. Typical applications include cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The open-web, aluminum oxide construction resists loading and dissipates heat, making it effective on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals in both light fabrication and production finishing environments.

Key Features

• Convolute construction wound around a fiber core delivers smooth, uniform cutting action
• Open-web design resists loading and runs cool on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum
• High conformability allows effective finishing of irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action prevents undercutting and gouging
• Produces consistent brushed, satin, and blended mill finishes across production runs

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary finishing equipment accepting a 14-inch diameter wheel with an 8-inch arbor bore, suitable for metalworking and surface finishing applications on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking or finishing technician familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always de-energize and lock out the finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards.
