3M 7010328994 Scotch-brite Unitized Wheel 2 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7010328994 Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip Unitized Wheel is a silicon carbide abrasive wheel engineered for aggressive coating removal in industrial and trade applications. Built with a hard density 7 layered unitized construction, this wheel delivers low conformability and strong cutting action, making it well suited for working along edges and in tight areas where durability and consistent performance are essential. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators use it to remove rust, paint, weld scale, and surface coatings without damaging the underlying base material. The wheel weighs 0.04 pounds and measures approximately 2 inches in diameter.

This unitized wheel is designed for use in metal fabrication, welding cleanup, and surface preparation tasks in both shop and field environments. Its extra coarse silicon carbide abrasive resists heat buildup and loading on soft coatings, allowing extended operation without frequent wheel changes. It is commonly used by welders, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and maintenance technicians who need reliable coating and corrosion removal in confined or edge-heavy work areas. The wheel can operate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, adding flexibility when mounted on right-angle grinders and similar tools.

Key Features

• Hard density 7 unitized construction provides low conformability and strong edge performance
• Silicon carbide abrasive delivers extra coarse cutting action for rust, paint, and weld scale removal
• Resists heat buildup and loading on soft coatings for prolonged consistent operation
• Bidirectional use — operates clockwise or counterclockwise
• Layered construction is more effective and safer for coating removal than wire wheels or wire cups
• Accesses hard-to-reach areas and works well along part edges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style abrasive wheel for use on right-angle grinders and similar rotary tools capable of accepting a 2-inch unitized wheel arbor configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and isolate the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM of the wheel before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, face shield, and gloves in compliance with applicable OSHA and ANSI abrasive wheel safety standards.
