3M 7010331215 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 6 Inch 180 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010331215 is an aluminum oxide flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, finishing, and cleaning operations on metal workpieces. At 6 inches in diameter and 180 grit, it delivers controlled stock removal with a consistent straight-line finish on both inside and outside diameters. The wheel mounts on a steel mandrel that reduces chatter and operator fatigue during extended use. Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly and performs on ferrous and non-ferrous metals alike. This wheel is a practical choice for fabrication shops, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals who need reliable surface finishing results.

This flap wheel is suited for use on curved, contoured, and radiused surfaces where conventional grinding wheels lose contact. The overlapping coated abrasive flaps conform to the workpiece profile, making the wheel effective for pipe interiors and exteriors, tubing, cylindrical parts, and irregular metal profiles. It is well matched to bench-mounted or portable mandrel setups used in metal fabrication and finishing environments.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Overlapping flaps conform to contoured and radiused surfaces for consistent coverage
• Produces a straight-line finish suitable for blending and final finishing passes
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and minimizes operator fatigue
• 180 grit provides fine stock removal and smooth surface blending
• Effective for aggressive blending, cleaning, and finishing in a single wheel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style flap wheel for mandrel-mounted applications on metal workpieces requiring inside or outside diameter finishing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworking or fabrication professionals. Ensure the mandrel speed rating meets or exceeds the rated RPM of the drive tool before mounting. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before changing wheels. Follow applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting and use appropriate eye and face protection during operation.
