3M 7010299306 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 12 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010299306 Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel designed to deliver consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. Built around a fiber core with open-web construction, the wheel runs cool and resists loading during extended use. At 12 inches in diameter with a 5-inch arbor, it mounts to bench or pedestal grinders used in metal fabrication shops, plumbing fixture manufacturing, and appliance trim finishing. Aluminum oxide abrasive provides controlled cutting action that reduces the risk of undercutting or gouging workpiece surfaces.

This finishing wheel is suited for production and job-shop environments where uniform surface finish is required on flat, irregular, or contoured metal parts. Common applications include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel, creating satin finishes on cutlery and builders hardware, and finishing plumbing fixture trim. Its high conformability allows the wheel to follow surface contours without aggressive material removal, making it appropriate for detail work on formed or shaped components.

Key Features

• Open-web construction resists loading and dissipates heat for cooler running during extended finishing operations
• Convolute build wound around a fiber core runs smoothly and provides fine, uniform surface finish
• Controlled abrasive action reduces risk of undercutting or gouging on soft and hard metals
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular, contoured, and curved surfaces
• Suitable for brushed, satin, and mill finish work on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders fitted with a 5-inch arbor. Appropriate for metal fabrication, plumbing fixture finishing, appliance trim, cutlery, and builders hardware applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Disconnect and lock out power to the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM of the wheel before operation. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
