3M 7010331246 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 5 Inch Ao 1/4 Inch Arbor

Product Description

The 3M 7010331246 is an aluminum oxide unitized abrasive wheel from the Standard Abrasives 700 Series, designed for medium to heavy-duty surface finishing on metal. It features a medium to hard density construction with an open web that resists loading and extends service life. The wheel mounts via a 1/4 inch arbor using a unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately) and measures 5 inches in diameter. It is suited for deburring, cleaning, and surface conditioning tasks on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel and aluminum. Metalworking fabricators and finishing shops are the primary users of this wheel.

This wheel fits mid-sequence and final-sequence finishing applications in fabrication and light manufacturing environments. Typical use cases include removing punched hole burrs on stainless steel, eliminating heavy flashing, reducing medium-sized pits and scratches, and cleaning heavy scale or weld discoloration. The 700 Series offers increased edge durability over the 600 Series, making it a step up for heavier cleaning and deburring tasks. It runs both clockwise and counterclockwise, adding flexibility across different tool and machine setups.

Key Features

• Medium to hard density aluminum oxide construction suited for mid-sequence deburring and hard-metal cleaning
• Open web design resists loading and contributes to longer abrasive service life
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for compatibility with a wider range of tools and machines
• Increased edge durability over 600 Series unitized wheels for heavier-duty performance
• Aluminum oxide mineral works on ferrous and non-ferrous metals including aluminum and stainless steel
• Mounts via 1/4 inch arbor with a unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately)

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools and machines that accept a 1/4 inch arbor and a unitized wheel mandrel. Compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces including stainless steel and aluminum in fabrication and metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by metalworking or fabrication professionals. Always power down and disconnect the tool or machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the spindle speed rating of the tool does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before operation. A unitized wheel mandrel is required for mounting and is sold separately.
