3M 7000120596 Scotch-brite Unitized Metal Finishing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000120596 Scotch-Brite MF-WL is a unitized metal finishing wheel designed for producing uniform brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. Built with an open-web, convolute construction wound around a fiber core, the wheel delivers controlled abrasive cutting action that resists loading and runs cool during operation. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch arbor, it mounts to standard bench grinders and finishing machines. Metal fabricators, plumbers, and shop professionals use this wheel when consistent surface finishing results are required on both flat and contoured workpieces.

This wheel is well suited for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for creating brushed or satin finishes on items such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Its high conformability makes it effective on irregular or contoured surfaces where flat abrasive media cannot maintain consistent contact. It is used in both production shop environments and field finishing applications where surface appearance and uniformity matter.

Key Features

• Open-web construction resists loading and runs cool, reducing heat buildup on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum
• Convolute construction wound around a fiber core provides smooth, fine, and uniform finishing action
• High conformability allows the wheel to follow irregular and contoured surface profiles
• Controlled abrasive action helps prevent undercutting or gouging on finished metal surfaces
• Effective for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. Compatible with bench grinders and stationary finishing machines accepting a 1-inch arbor and accommodating a 6-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with bench grinder and abrasive wheel safety practices. Always power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or changing the wheel. Confirm the machine spindle speed rating does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow all applicable ANSI B7.1 abrasive wheel safety standards.
