3M 7000144597 Brite Finishing Flap Brush 6x2x2 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000144597 is a light-duty Brite finishing flap brush designed for cleaning and surface finishing applications. Individual abrasive sheets are adhered at a 90-degree angle to a central core, creating a flexible flap configuration that conforms to irregular surfaces. The brush uses fine-grade aluminum oxide as the abrasive mineral and carries a medium-hardness density rating of 5. At 0.98 pounds, this brush suits portable use on hand-held or bench-mounted finishing equipment. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this type of tool to deburr, blend, and finish metal surfaces without aggressive material removal.

This flap brush is suited for light cleaning and finishing work on metal, composite, or similar hard surfaces. The fine aluminum oxide abrasive makes it appropriate for final-stage blending and surface prep where a smooth, consistent finish is required. Its 6-inch diameter and 2-inch face width allow good coverage on flat and contoured workpieces. The 2-inch arbor hole dimension fits standard shaft configurations used in fabrication and maintenance shop setups.
