3M 7010328997 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 3 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7010328997 is a unitized abrasive wheel designed for deburring and surface finishing on demanding metal alloys including stainless steel and titanium. Built with a layered unitized construction, this 3-inch diameter wheel uses silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grit rating. The layered build is softer and more conformable than higher-density convolute wheels, allowing it to follow contours and intricate shapes without aggressive stock removal. Licensed trades and metalworking professionals install it on bench grinders, die grinders, and portable rotary equipment for precision finishing tasks.

This wheel is suited for applications requiring precise control in narrow or small-diameter configurations where convolute wheels cannot be produced economically. Common use cases include finishing weld seams, deburring drilled holes, and blending surface marks on stainless steel fabrications and titanium components in both shop and field environments. The fine grit rating makes it appropriate for final-pass finishing rather than heavy material removal.

Key Features

• Layered unitized construction runs clockwise or counterclockwise without performance loss
• Silicon carbide abrasive resists loading and runs cool, extending wheel service life
• Conformable construction follows intricate shapes and contours during finishing passes
• Available in small diameters and narrow widths not achievable with convolute wheel formats
• Compatible with smaller bench-top and portable rotary equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style unitized abrasive wheel for use on standard arbor-mount bench grinders, die grinders, and portable rotary tools accepting a 3-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Metalworking and fabrication professionals should power down and de-energize the grinder or rotary tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify the equipment spindle speed rating does not exceed the maximum RPM rated for this wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel that shows cracking, chipping, or uneven wear. Follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA grinding safety standards when operating abrasive wheels.
