3M 7000046160 Scotch-brite Bristle Disc 2 Inch Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000046160 is a Scotch-Brite Radial Bristle Disc engineered for surface preparation, coating removal, and finishing work across metal and industrial substrates. Built with proprietary ceramic abrasive grain molded directly into flexible, curved bristles, this 2-inch disc maintains consistent cut rate and finish quality from first use to the last. The light green color denotes its abrasive grade. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians use it to strip paint, remove rust, clean weld burns, and eliminate heavy oxides without the hazards associated with wire brush tooling.

This disc is well suited for metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where surface conformity matters. The curved bristle geometry allows the disc to follow contours on complex or irregular parts, making it practical for deburring, blending, and cleaning tasks on tubing, pipe, structural steel, and machined components. It is commonly used in welding shops, industrial maintenance settings, and metal fabrication environments where consistent surface prep is required across large or contoured areas.

Key Features

• Proprietary ceramic abrasive grain delivers aggressive cutting and consistent finish throughout disc life
• Flexible, abrasive-filled bristles conform to curved and irregular surfaces with less applied pressure than wire brushes
• Curved bristle profile increases surface contact area for more effective material removal
• Contains no wire filaments, reducing risk of wire fragment ejection during operation
• Bristle spacing optimized for coating removal and high-loading contaminants such as rust, paint, and adhesives
• Strips, deburrs, blends, finishes, polishes, cleans, and removes coatings in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed for use as a radial bristle disc on compatible rotary tools, die grinders, and right-angle grinders that accept 2-inch disc accessories. Verify mandrel compatibility and maximum RPM rating of the tool before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should follow the tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive products. Ensure the tool is powered down and disconnected from its power source before mounting or removing the disc. Always confirm the tool's rated RPM does not exceed the disc's maximum RPM rating. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation, as with all abrasive disc work.
