3M 7000120549 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000120549 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing on metal and fabricated surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide mineral on a non-woven web construction, it delivers an assertive cut suited for defect removal and heavy scratch blending. The result is a tight, consistent scratch pattern that prepares surfaces for downstream finishing steps. At 12 inches in diameter and 1.69 inches thick, this wheel is sized for bench-mounted or stationary applications and is sold individually. Licensed tradespeople in metal fabrication, welding, and surface prep shops are the primary users.

This wheel is well suited for heavy-duty blending and finishing tasks in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and industrial surface preparation environments. It handles aggressive stock removal while still producing a controlled finish, making it a practical choice when transitioning between rough grinding and fine finishing stages. The non-woven construction resists loading during extended use, which reduces downtime for wheel changes in production settings. It can also serve as a direct replacement for rubber bonded finishing wheels in applications where a non-woven abrasive is acceptable.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral construction provides aggressive cut for heavy-duty blending and finishing

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for rubber bonded finishing wheels used in stationary or bench-mounted abrasive wheel applications requiring a non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive in a 12-inch diameter format.

Installation Notes

Mount this wheel only on equipment rated for the wheel diameter and operating speed. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that flanges, arbor hardware, and guards are in good condition and properly seated before starting the machine.
