3M 7010329802 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010329802 is a Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel designed for producing consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel and other metals. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch arbor bore and uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive media. Its convolute construction is wound around a fiber core, which promotes smooth, stable rotation at the spindle. Fabricators, metal finishers, and shop technicians use this wheel when blending or matching surface finishes on flat and contoured workpieces. The open-web design resists loading and allows the wheel to run cool, extending usable life.

This finishing wheel is suited for surface finishing applications on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. Typical use cases include creating or matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel sheet, and finishing consumer and commercial goods such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The wheel conforms to irregular and contoured surfaces, making it useful where flat abrasive media would leave uneven results. It is sold individually and commonly used in fabrication shops, plumbing fixture manufacturing, and metal finishing operations.

Key Features

• Open-web construction resists loading and runs cool during extended use
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action reduces risk of undercutting or gouging the workpiece
• Convolute build wound around a fiber core delivers smooth, uniform rotation
• Suitable for brushed, satin, and mill finish work on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and finishing machines equipped with a 3-inch arbor shaft and capable of accommodating an 8-inch diameter wheel. Suitable for stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the machine speed rating does not exceed the wheel's maximum rated RPM. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during mounting and operation.
