3M 7000120870 Scotch-brite Unitized Abrasive Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000120870 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Unitized Wheel designed for aggressive deburring, blending, and finishing on harder metals. The tightly layered, non-woven construction delivers controlled abrasive action while resisting the loading and gouging that can occur with conventional bonded wheels. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch arbor, this wheel suits angle grinders and bench-mounted finishing equipment used in fabrication, maintenance, and metalworking environments. It runs in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, making it adaptable to variable-speed grinders and right-angle tools used by millwrights, pipefitters, and metal fabricators.

This wheel is well suited for work on stainless steel, carbon steel, and high-nickel alloys where a consistent, bright surface finish is required without undercutting or distorting the base material. Its medium-to-hard density and high abrasive mineral concentration make it effective for production finishing, weld blending, and edge deburring in both shop and field environments. The compact 6-inch diameter also suits portable tool setups where larger wheel diameters are impractical.

Key Features

• Aggressive cutting action suited for deburring and weld blending on stainless steel, carbon steel, and high-nickel alloys
• High abrasive mineral concentration produces a bright finish consistently throughout the life of the wheel
• Flexible, non-woven construction reduces risk of undercutting or gouging the workpiece surface
• Unitized construction operates in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation
• Resists loading and wears at a uniform rate for continuous, predictable cutting performance
• 1-inch arbor bore fits standard angle grinders and bench finishing equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use on grinders and finishing equipment accepting a 6-inch diameter unitized wheel with a 1-inch arbor bore, including right-angle grinders and bench-mounted units commonly used in metal fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by qualified personnel with the grinder or finishing tool fully powered down and disconnected from its power source. Inspect the wheel for damage before mounting and verify that the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating speed. Ensure the arbor nut is properly tightened using the correct flange hardware before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and face protection, when operating abrasive wheels.
