3M 7010364559 Clean and Strip Rim Wheel 14x4x3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010364559 is a clean and strip rim wheel designed for aggressive surface preparation on metal workpieces. Built with an open web construction, it removes rust, paint, scale, and weld discoloration without loading or glazing. The wheel measures 14 inches in diameter, 4 inches in face width, and 3 inches in bore size, and carries a 7S XCS designation indicating a hard density rating suited to demanding material removal. At 16.44 pounds, this is a substantial wheel built for production-level use. Metal fabricators, welders, and maintenance technicians are the primary users in industrial and manufacturing environments.

This rim wheel is applied to heavy surface cleaning and weld cleanup tasks where a standard flap disc or wire wheel lacks the cutting aggression or longevity required. Typical applications include pre-weld and post-weld cleaning, rust and paint stripping on structural steel, and surface conditioning on large flat or curved metal sections. The layered rim construction distributes abrasive material evenly, supporting consistent stock removal across extended run times.

Key Features

• Open web construction resists loading for continuous cutting performance on rust, paint, and scale
• Layered rim design promotes even abrasive wear and extended wheel life
• Hard 7S density rating delivers aggressive material removal on tough surfaces
• Large 14-inch diameter covers more surface area per pass compared to smaller conditioning wheels
• Sold individually, compatible with angle grinders and bench-mounted arbor setups rated for the bore and diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit conditioning wheel for angle grinders and stationary grinder arbors accepting a 3-inch bore and rated for a 14-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety requirements. Verify that the grinder or arbor speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Always use the appropriate flanges and follow ANSI B7.1 standards for abrasive wheel mounting and guarding.
