3M 7010329224 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010329224 Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and polishing on metal workpieces. Built around a fiber core with open-web construction, the wheel delivers consistent aluminum oxide cutting action while running cool and resisting loading. At 8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch arbor, it mounts to bench or pedestal grinders and finishing machines used by fabricators, plumbers, and metalworkers who need repeatable satin, brushed, or mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum components.

This wheel is suited for applications requiring uniform surface texture across flat, contoured, or irregular profiles. Typical use cases include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel sheet and tube, producing brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Its conformable construction allows it to follow surface contours without aggressive undercutting, making it a practical choice for finish work on formed or stamped parts where consistent appearance across the entire workpiece is required.

Key Features

• Open-web aluminum oxide construction resists loading and runs cool during extended use
• Convolute winding around a fiber core provides smooth, uniform cutting action
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action prevents undercutting or gouging on workpiece surfaces
• Suitable for stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals
• Produces satin, brushed, and mill finish results in a single wheel

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and power finishing machines accepting an 8-inch diameter wheel with a 3-inch arbor. Appropriate for finishing stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar non-ferrous and ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use and ensure guards are in place before operation.
