3M 7000045986 Scotch-brite Cut Polish Wheel 8 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000045986 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing work on metal surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide mineral abrasive and a non-woven web construction, this wheel delivers a fast, controlled cut while leaving a tight, consistent scratch pattern. At 8 inches in diameter, it handles heavy-duty defect removal and deep scratch blending in a single operation. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, and industrial maintenance technicians use this wheel where a rubber-bonded finishing wheel would otherwise be specified.

This wheel is suited for aggressive surface preparation and finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and mechanical contracting environments. It performs well on flat and contoured surfaces where blending weld seams, removing surface defects, or prepping metal for coating are required. The non-woven construction resists loading, allowing the wheel to maintain cut rate through extended use without frequent dressing or replacement.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral abrasive provides aggressive cut for heavy-duty blending and finishing
• Non-woven web construction resists premature loading for longer service life
• Produces a tight, uniform scratch pattern suitable for finishing operations
• Harder construction than standard finishing wheels for improved defect removal
• Suitable replacement for rubber-bonded abrasive wheels in comparable applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on compatible right-angle grinders and bench-mounted arbors that accept an 8-inch diameter non-woven finishing wheel. Verify spindle speed rating and arbor size against machine specifications before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Disconnect and lock out power to the grinder or machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the machine RPM rating does not exceed the maximum rated speed marked on the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
