3M 7010360104 Ceramic Flap Wheel 60 Grit 16 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010360104 is a 741A series ceramic flap wheel built for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on metal surfaces. At 16 inches in diameter with a 60-grit ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive, it delivers aggressive cut rates while conforming to rounded and irregular workpiece profiles. The abrasive flaps are bonded to an X-weight polyester/cotton cloth backing using a resin bond system that resists thermal and chemical breakdown. As flaps wear, fresh abrasive mineral is continuously exposed, maintaining a consistent cut rate throughout the wheel's service life.

This flap wheel is suited for metalworking applications in fabrication shops, manufacturing environments, and maintenance settings where surface blending, burr removal, and finish work are performed on curved or contoured parts. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use by metal fabricators, industrial maintenance technicians, and tradespeople working with steel, stainless, and other ferrous or non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide blend delivers high cut rate and extended wheel life
• X-weight polyester/cotton backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding loads
• Resin bond resists thermal and chemical deterioration for longer service life
• Flap design conforms to rounded and irregular surfaces for smooth, clean finishes
• Self-renewing flaps expose fresh abrasive as they wear for consistent performance
• 16 inch diameter at 60 grit suits blending, deburring, and light stock removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use ceramic flap wheel for stationary and bench-mounted grinding and finishing equipment that accepts 16 inch diameter flap wheel tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always ensure the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before operation. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and do not operate a damaged wheel.
