3M 7000120588 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000120588 is a Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Unitized Wheel designed for producing consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Built with a convolute construction wound around a fiber core, the wheel delivers controlled abrasive cutting action that resists loading and runs cool during operation. The open-web design allows conformability across irregular and contoured surfaces without undercutting or gouging the base material. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch arbor, this aluminum oxide wheel is suited for bench-mounted or portable grinder applications in metal finishing shops and fabrication environments.

This wheel is used in applications requiring uniform surface finishing on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. Common tasks include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel sheet and creating brushed or satin finishes on items such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. It is appropriate for both production shop use and skilled trade finishing work where surface consistency is critical.

Key Features

• Open-web construction resists loading and runs cool for consistent results on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum
• Convolute construction around a fiber core delivers smooth, fine, uniform finishing action
• High conformability allows effective finishing of irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action prevents undercutting or gouging of base material
• Aluminum oxide abrasive mineral for reliable cutting performance on common metals
• 1-inch arbor fits standard bench grinder and pedestal grinder spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals; fits grinders and finishing machines with a 1-inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the machine RPM rating does not exceed the wheel's rated speed. Follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards when operating bench or pedestal grinders.
