3M 7010309614 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010309614 Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel designed to produce consistent satin, brushed, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Built around a fiber core with an open-web construction, the wheel combines conformability with controlled abrasive cutting action. It is well suited for surface finishing work on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals where uniform finish quality and repeatable results are required. Fabricators, metal finishers, and plumbing fixture manufacturers commonly use this wheel in production and shop environments.

This wheel is used to blend and match 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and to create brushed or satin finishes on items such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The 8-inch diameter and 3-inch arbor size make it compatible with standard bench-mounted and pedestal finishing machines commonly found in metal fabrication shops. Its highly conformable structure allows it to work effectively on irregular or contoured surfaces where flat abrasive tooling would leave uneven results.

Key Features

• Open-web construction resists loading and runs cool, reducing heat buildup on workpiece surfaces
• Convolute construction wound around a fiber core provides smooth, uniform abrasive action
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action helps prevent undercutting or gouging of the workpiece
• Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers consistent cutting power for satin, mill, and brushed finishes
• Effective on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard finishing machines with a 3-inch arbor. Suitable for surface finishing applications on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar metals including cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed and operated by trained metal finishers or shop technicians. Ensure the finishing machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the machine arbor size matches the 3-inch bore before installation. Always operate within the maximum RPM rating of the wheel and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and face protection.
