3M 7000045985 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 8 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000045985 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing work in industrial and trade environments. Built with Aluminum Oxide mineral on a non-woven web construction, this wheel delivers an assertive cut suited for defect removal and heavy scratch blending. At 8 inches in diameter and weighing 2.25 pounds, it is sized for bench-mounted or angle-head applications where consistent surface conditioning is required. The non-woven construction resists loading, extending wheel life compared to conventional bonded abrasive wheels. Fabricators, metal finishers, and maintenance technicians rely on this wheel when a controlled, tight scratch pattern is the target finish.

This wheel is intended for heavy-duty blending and finishing applications on metal surfaces. It performs well in scenarios requiring defect removal, weld seam blending, and surface preparation prior to coating or polishing. The harder construction compared to standard finishing wheels makes it a suitable direct replacement for rubber bonded wheels in production or maintenance shop settings. It is sold per each unit with a minimum order quantity of 2.
