3M 7010328988 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010328988 is a Scotch-Brite CP-WL Cut and Polish Wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing work on metal surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide mineral, this 12-inch diameter wheel delivers an aggressive cut suitable for defect removal and heavy scratch blending. The non-woven web construction resists premature loading, extending service life under sustained use. It produces a tight scratch pattern, making it a dependable choice for controlled surface finishing. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators in metal working, maintenance, and manufacturing environments rely on this wheel for demanding surface preparation tasks.

This wheel is well suited for heavy-duty blending and finishing applications in both production and maintenance settings. It performs effectively on metal substrates where defect removal, weld blending, or surface conditioning is required. The CP-WL configuration is harder than standard finishing wheels, making it appropriate for situations where more aggressive stock removal or scratch blending is needed before final finishing steps. It serves as a functional replacement for rubber bonded wheels in similar abrasive applications.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral construction delivers aggressive cut for heavy-duty blending and finishing
• Non-woven web resists premature loading for extended service life
• Harder construction than standard finishing wheels for more aggressive material removal
• Produces a tight scratch pattern suitable for controlled surface finishing
• Functions as a replacement for rubber bonded wheels in comparable applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for rubber bonded wheels used in metal surface blending and finishing applications on compatible right-angle grinders and benchtop finishing equipment that accept 12-inch diameter wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety and applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA standards for abrasive wheel use. Always power down and de-energize the grinder or finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the machine RPM rating does not exceed the wheel's rated speed. Never exceed the wheel's rated diameter or use a damaged or compromised wheel.
