3M 7010301196 Silicon Carbide Unitized Wheel 2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010301196 is a silicon carbide unitized abrasive wheel in the Standard Abrasives 500 Series, designed for light-pressure blending, finishing, and polishing on flat or contoured workpiece surfaces. Measuring 2 inches in diameter, this non-woven wheel features a soft, conformable density that gives operators precise control when working to tight tolerances. The open-web construction resists loading, extending service life across repeated passes. Metalworking professionals, fabricators, and finishing technicians install this wheel using a unitized wheel mandrel, sold separately, mounted to a compatible rotary tool or bench machine.

This wheel is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, exotic alloys, and titanium, as well as composite materials. It performs on both flat and contoured surfaces, making it a practical choice for finishing welds, deburring edges, and surface prep work in shop and production environments. The wheel runs clockwise and counterclockwise, adding flexibility when paired with a variety of power tools and machines. It cuts faster than buff-and-blend non-woven products while still delivering a fine, controlled surface finish.

Key Features

• Soft-density silicon carbide construction blends and polishes surfaces to a fine finish under light pressure
• Conformable density provides the finesse required for applications with close dimensional tolerances
• Silicon carbide mineral works on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys, titanium, and composites
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for greater versatility with different tools and machines
• Open-web design resists loading for longer abrasive service life
• Attaches to tool via a unitized wheel mandrel, sold separately

Compatibility

Designed for use with unitized wheel mandrels compatible with rotary power tools and bench machines that accept center-hole mounted abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworking or fabrication professionals using a separately purchased unitized wheel mandrel. Ensure the tool is fully powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum for the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any cracked or deformed wheels.
