3M 7010309342 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010309342 is a Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel designed to deliver consistent abrasive cutting action with high conformability across a range of metal surfaces. Built around a convolute construction wound on a fiber core, this 8-inch diameter wheel runs smoothly and resists loading to keep surface temperatures low during operation. The open-web, silicon carbide abrasive construction provides controlled cutting action that helps prevent undercutting or gouging. It is used by fabricators and finishing technicians to produce uniform satin, brushed, and blended mill finishes on stainless steel and other metals.

This wheel is suited for finishing applications on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metal alloys. Typical use cases include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel sheet, and creating consistent brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Its highly conformable structure allows it to follow irregular, curved, or contoured surfaces without loss of finish consistency, making it practical for both flat stock and shaped components encountered in fabrication and finishing shops.

Key Features

• Open-web silicon carbide construction resists loading and runs cool during extended use
• Convolute construction on a fiber core provides smooth, vibration-reduced operation
• High conformability allows effective finishing on contoured and irregular surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action reduces risk of undercutting or gouging on finished metal
• Produces uniform satin, brushed, and blended mill finishes on multiple metal types

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar non-ferrous and ferrous metal surfaces in fabrication, metalworking, and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

This wheel is mounted to compatible bench grinders, angle grinders, or finishing machines by trained metalworking or fabrication technicians. Ensure the spindle speed of the host tool does not exceed the rated maximum speed of the wheel before mounting. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing or inspecting wheels. Always use appropriate eye protection and follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel use.
