The dense, stiff convolute construction holds its shape during use, making it effective on flat surfaces, edges, and corners without collapsing under pressure. At 12 inches in diameter and 5 inches wide, this wheel suits bench grinder and pedestal grinder setups commonly found in metal fabrication shops and finishing operations. The aluminum oxide abrasive delivers a high cut rate at low contact pressure, reducing operator fatigue and improving consistency across production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis convolute wheel is used in metal fabrication, finishing, and surface prep applications where satin or antique finishes are the target result. It performs on ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, aluminum, and brass. The open web construction resists loading, extending abrasive life in environments where fine metal particles and swarf would otherwise clog a conventional wheel. It can be dressed to match specific part profiles or contours, making it adaptable to both flat workpieces and shaped components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDense convolute construction maintains rigidity on flat surfaces and corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces satin and antique finishes on a variety of metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh cut rate at low contact pressure reduces operator fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen web resists loading, extending abrasive service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be dressed to conform to specific part geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders suited to convolute wheels.

Power down and lock out the grinder before installing or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting, and always run a new wheel at operating speed for at least one minute behind a guard before bringing it into contact with a workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide (AO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Convolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 051115371202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7010310163\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342768341298,"sku":"7010310163","price":1106.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310535651.jpg?v=1782006015","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7010310163-convolute-finishing-wheel-12-inch-ao","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
