3M 7010308198 Ceramic Flap Wheel 741A 60 Grit 16 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010308198 is a 16-inch diameter ceramic flap wheel in the 741A series, designed for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on metal workpieces. The ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive flaps conform to rounded and irregular surfaces, delivering a smooth, consistent finish. Backing is an X-weight polyester and cotton cloth that withstands aggressive sanding and grinding loads. Resin bonding holds the abrasive under thermal and chemical stress, extending wheel service life. As flaps wear, fresh abrasive mineral is exposed, maintaining a fast, uniform cut rate throughout the wheel's usable life.

This flap wheel is suited for metalworking applications in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and manufacturing environments. It handles a range of tasks including weld blending, surface preparation, edge deburring, and finish polishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 60-grit coated cloth construction makes it appropriate for medium-to-aggressive stock removal while still leaving an acceptable surface finish. Trade professionals in metal fabrication, pipefitting, and industrial maintenance are the primary installers and users of this product.

Compatibility

Designed for use on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing applications where a conformable abrasive wheel is required.

Installation Notes

Mount this flap wheel on a compatible arbor-driven grinder rated for the wheel diameter and operating speed before use. Verify that the machine's maximum RPM rating matches or exceeds the wheel's rated speed before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating abrasive wheels. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows cracking, delamination, or uneven wear.
