3M 7010364561 Scotch-brite Unitized Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010364561 Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip Unitized Wheel is a silicon carbide abrasive wheel engineered for aggressive coating removal in industrial and trade applications. Built with a layered unitized construction and a hard density rating of 7, it delivers low conformability and strong cutting action — making it well suited for edge work where durability is critical. At 8 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in width, it is sized for bench grinders and angle grinders used by fabricators, welders, and maintenance technicians who need consistent, repeatable results on metal surfaces.

This wheel is designed for tasks including rust removal, paint stripping, weld cleaning, and general surface preparation on metal substrates. Its extra coarse abrasive cuts aggressively without undercutting or gouging the base material, making it appropriate for both production and maintenance environments. The unitized construction allows the wheel to operate in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, giving it flexibility across different tool setups. It performs well in confined areas and on part edges where conformable wheels would lose control of the cut.

Key Features

• Hard density 7 construction with low conformability for controlled cutting on edges and flat surfaces
• Silicon carbide abrasive provides extra coarse cutting action for paint, rust, and coating removal
• Layered unitized wheel resists heat buildup and loading on soft coatings for extended service life
• Operates in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions for versatile tool compatibility
• Safer alternative to wire wheels and cups for corrosion and coating removal applications
• Reaches hard-to-access areas and part edges where rigid wheels cannot conform

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style unitized abrasive wheel for bench grinders and angle grinders accepting 8-inch diameter abrasive wheels used in metal fabrication, welding, and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 standards. Confirm the grinder spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the tool before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged abrasive wheel.
