3M 7010300842 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 8 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010300842 Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheel is a non-woven abrasive wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing on metal surfaces. Built with Aluminum Oxide mineral, this wheel delivers a fast, controlled cut while producing a tight scratch pattern suitable for defect removal and heavy scratch blending. At 8 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches wide, it fits standard bench-mounted or pedestal-style grinders used in fabrication and finishing operations. Harder than conventional finishing wheels, it is a practical replacement for rubber bonded wheels in high-stock-removal applications.

This wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial finishing environments where consistent surface prep is required. Typical applications include weld blending, surface conditioning, and scratch removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The non-woven web construction resists premature loading, extending service life in production-rate settings where wheel changes slow throughput. It is sold individually and is appropriate for professional metalworking and finishing trades.

Installation Notes

Mounting and wheel changes should be performed by qualified personnel following the grinder manufacturer's instructions and applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the machine's maximum RPM rating does not exceed the wheel's rated speed before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or chipped abrasive wheel.
