3M 7000120850 Scotch-brite Unitized Metal Finishing Wheel 14 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000120850 is a Scotch-Brite MF-WL unitized metal finishing wheel designed for surface conditioning and finishing work on metal components. Built with an open-web, convolute construction wound around a fiber core, this wheel delivers consistent abrasive cutting action with high conformability. It produces uniform brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. The 14-inch diameter and 8-inch arbor size suit stationary finishing equipment used in fabrication and metalworking shops. Licensed metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary users of this wheel.

This wheel is suited for production and bench finishing applications where consistent surface texture is required. Common uses include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel, and creating brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The open-web construction resists loading and runs cool, making it effective for extended finishing runs on contoured or irregular surfaces. It is used in light manufacturing, metal fab shops, and commercial plumbing fixture production environments.

Key Features

• High conformability delivers consistent cutting power for uniform satin, mill, and brushed finishes
• Open-web construction resists loading and runs cool during extended use on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum
• Controlled abrasive action helps prevent undercutting or gouging on workpiece surfaces
• Convolute construction wound around a fiber core runs smooth for fine, even surface results
• Effective on irregular and contoured surfaces where flat wheels cannot maintain consistent contact

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary finishing and polishing equipment accepting an 8-inch arbor and accommodating a 14-inch diameter wheel. Suitable for finishing stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar non-ferrous and ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and lockout the finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed rating meets or does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow ANSI B7.1 safe practices for abrasive wheel use.
