3M 7000120552 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 12 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000120552 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing on metal and fabricated surfaces. Built with Aluminum Oxide mineral, this wheel delivers a hard, fast cut that removes defects and blends heavy scratches while leaving a tight, consistent scratch pattern. The 12-inch diameter and 5-inch arbor fit standard bench or pedestal grinder setups used in fabrication, welding, and metalworking shops. At 7.3 pounds, the wheel has the mass and density to handle sustained production use. Non-woven web construction resists loading, extending service life compared to conventional bonded wheels.

This wheel suits industrial and commercial metalworking applications where defect removal, weld blending, or surface preparation demands a more aggressive cut than standard finishing wheels provide. It is a direct functional replacement for rubber-bonded wheels in similar operations. Fabricators, welders, and metal finishers working on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces will find it effective for high-volume blending cycles where surface consistency and cut rate both matter.

Key Features

• Aluminum Oxide mineral construction provides aggressive cut for heavy-duty blending and finishing
• Harder than standard finishing wheels for effective defect removal and scratch blending
• Produces a tight scratch pattern for consistent surface finish results
• Non-woven web resists premature loading and extends wheel service life
• Functional replacement for rubber-bonded wheels in comparable grinding setups

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders with a 5-inch arbor accepting a 12-inch diameter wheel. Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal blending and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating speed before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never force or overtighten the arbor nut beyond snug contact with the flanges.
