3M 7010328687 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 12 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010328687 is a Scotch-Brite MF-WL Metal Finishing Wheel designed for producing uniform brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel and other metals. Built with a convolute construction wound around a fiber core, this 12-inch diameter wheel delivers consistent abrasive cutting action while conforming to irregular and contoured surfaces. The aluminum oxide abrasive and open-web construction work together to resist loading and run cool, making it a reliable tool for production finishing operations in fabrication shops, metalworking facilities, and plumbing fixture manufacturing environments.

This wheel is suited for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for creating brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Its controlled abrasive action reduces the risk of undercutting or gouging, which is especially important when finishing visible or cosmetic surfaces. It is typically installed by metalworking professionals and fabricators who require repeatable surface finishes across brass, aluminum, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Convolute construction wound around a fiber core for smooth, consistent operation
• Open-web design resists loading and dissipates heat during use
• High conformability allows the wheel to follow irregular and contoured surface profiles
• Controlled abrasive action helps prevent undercutting or gouging on finished surfaces
• Effective on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals
• Suitable for blending 3 or 4 mill finishes and producing brushed or satin surface profiles

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard arbor-mount bench or pedestal grinders accepting a 5-inch arbor. Suitable for metalworking applications involving stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar metals requiring brushed or satin surface finishes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or dismounting the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow applicable ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel installation and guarding.
