3M 7010301198 Silicon Carbide Unitized Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010301198 is a silicon carbide unitized abrasive wheel designed for light-pressure blending, finishing, and polishing on flat and contoured workpiece surfaces. Part of the Standard Abrasives 500 Series, this wheel features a soft, conformable non-woven construction that gives operators the control needed to meet close surface-finish tolerances. The open web structure resists loading, extending usable service life. At 8 inches in diameter, it mounts via a unitized wheel mandrel and runs in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, making it compatible with a wide range of stationary and portable tooling setups.

This wheel is suited for blending, deburring, and finish work on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys including titanium, and composite materials. Its soft density makes it a practical choice when conformability over irregular or contoured surfaces is critical. Typical applications include aerospace fabrication, metal fabrication shops, and precision machining environments where surface finish consistency is required. The wheel is sold individually and requires a separately purchased unitized wheel mandrel for mounting.

Key Features

• Soft-density silicon carbide construction for light-pressure blending and fine finishing
• Conformable non-woven web adapts to flat and contoured part geometries
• Load-resistant open web extends abrasive service life
• Suitable for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, titanium, exotic alloys, and composites
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for flexible tooling compatibility
• Center-hole design mounts with a standard unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately)

Compatibility

Designed for use with unitized wheel mandrels compatible with 8-inch diameter center-hole non-woven wheels. Suitable for bench-mounted and portable right-angle tools configured for unitized wheel accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the tool and wheel manufacturer's instructions. Power down and de-energize the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the tool's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel's rated speed before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a damaged or deformed wheel.
