3M 7000046118 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000046118 is a convolute metal finishing wheel designed for producing uniform brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch arbor and uses aluminum oxide abrasive. It is wound around a fiber core in a convolute construction that runs smoothly and delivers consistent cutting action across the surface. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians use this wheel on bench grinders and stationary finishing equipment where controlled, repeatable surface results are required.

This wheel is suited for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for creating brushed or satin finishes on production runs of cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The open-web construction resists loading and dissipates heat during extended use, making it effective on both flat and contoured or irregular surfaces where consistent finish quality is critical.

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, aluminum, and other metals
• High conformability allows effective finishing of irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action minimizes undercutting and gouging
• Produces consistent satin, brushed, and mill finishes suitable for production finishing applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary bench grinders and finishing machines with a 3-inch arbor accepting an 8-inch diameter convolute finishing wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Power down and lockout the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before installation and verify that the machine speed rating does not exceed the wheel rating. Follow ANSI B7.1 safe use guidelines for abrasive wheels during mounting and operation.
