3M 7000046151 Brite Cut Polish Flap Brush 8x1x3 in 5A Vfn

Product Description

The 3M 7000046151 Brite Cut and Polish Flap Brush is a heavy-duty abrasive finishing tool built for applications that demand higher-polished surface results. Individual abrasive sheets are adhered at a 90-degree angle to a central core, creating a flap-style construction that delivers consistent contact across the work surface. The abrasive mineral is very fine grade aluminum oxide, rated at a 5A VFN designation indicating medium hardness with a density rating of 5. At 8 inches in diameter, 1 inch in width, and 3 inches in arbor hole size, this brush fits a range of stationary and bench-mounted finishing equipment. It is used by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians who require repeatable surface quality.

This flap brush is suited for cut-and-polish finishing operations on metal, including deburring, blending, and surface conditioning work where a higher degree of polish is needed compared to standard abrasive brushes. The very fine aluminum oxide mineral makes it appropriate for final-stage finishing passes rather than aggressive material removal. Typical applications include stainless steel fabrication, light alloy finishing, and surface prep work in manufacturing and job-shop environments. The minimum order quantity is 3 units per purchase.

Installation Notes

Mounting and removal of flap brushes should be performed by qualified finishing equipment operators following the machine manufacturer's specifications.
