3M 7010310561 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 8 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7010310561 is a 700 Series Unitized Wheel built for tough finishing applications on hard and exotic metals. Constructed with fine-grade silicon carbide mineral in a medium-to-hard density non-woven web, this wheel delivers consistent cutting action with increased edge durability compared to softer-density unitized wheels. It is designed for use with a unitized wheel mandrel and is suited for finishing operations where surface quality on difficult materials is the priority. Licensed tradespeople in metal fabrication, aerospace maintenance, and industrial service environments typically specify this wheel for final-stage finishing work.

This wheel is well matched for finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys, composites, and titanium. The open non-woven web construction resists loading, extending service life across repeated passes. At 8 inches in diameter, it fits mandrel-driven angle grinders and bench-mounted setups configured for centerhole unitized wheels. The medium-to-hard density is more aggressive than 600 Series wheels, making it appropriate where a longer-lasting, higher-cut wheel is needed without sacrificing finish quality.

Key Features

• Fine-grade silicon carbide mineral in medium-to-hard density for aggressive finishing on hard metals
• Increased edge durability over 600 Series Unitized Wheels for extended service life
• Open non-woven web is load resistant, reducing clogging during use
• Compatible with both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation for greater tool versatility
• Silicon carbide mineral suits ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys, titanium, and composites
• Center-hole mounting attaches to tool via unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately)

Compatibility

Designed for use with a unitized wheel mandrel accessory on angle grinders and similar rotary finishing tools configured for center-hole unitized abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety and applicable ANSI B7.1 standards. Ensure the tool is fully de-energized and unplugged before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the mandrel and tool RPM rating meet or exceed the wheel RPM rating before operation. Always inspect the wheel for damage prior to mounting and never exceed the rated speed.
