3M 7010300163 Ceramic Flap Wheel 60 Grit 2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010300163 is a 2-inch diameter ceramic flap wheel designed for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on a variety of metal surfaces. Built on an X-weight cotton cloth backing with resin bonding, it uses a ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive blend at 60 grit to deliver a consistent cut rate and extended wheel life. The abrasive flaps conform to rounded and irregular workpiece profiles, producing a smooth, clean finish without aggressive material removal. A grind-aid additive is built in to reduce heat buildup during use on stainless steel and other metals.

This flap wheel is suited for metalworking applications in fabrication, maintenance, and finishing environments. It performs well on contoured surfaces where rigid abrasive tools cannot conform to the geometry of the part. Typical applications include weld blending, edge deburring, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The coated cloth construction handles aggressive sanding and grinding cycles without premature breakdown, making it a reliable choice for production and repair work alike.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive blend for high cut rate and long service life
• X-weight cotton cloth backing withstands aggressive grinding and sanding loads
• Resin bond resists thermal and chemical deterioration for extended wheel life
• Flap design conforms to rounded and irregular surfaces for smooth, consistent results
• Built-in grind-aid for cooler running on stainless steel and other metals
• 60 grit rating suitable for blending, deburring, and light stock removal

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit abrasive flap wheel for use on standard rotary tools and die grinders that accept a 2-inch diameter wheel format.

Installation Notes

Mount securely on a compatible rotary tool or die grinder rated for the wheel diameter before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate beyond the rated RPM for this wheel size. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when performing grinding or deburring work. Power down and disconnect the tool before changing or inspecting abrasive wheels.
