3M 7010365168 Scotch-brite Cut and Polish Wheel 8 in Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7010365168 Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheel is an 8-inch abrasive wheel designed for aggressive blending and finishing work on metal and fabricated surfaces. Built with Aluminum Oxide mineral in a non-woven web construction, it delivers an assertive cut that handles heavy scratch blending and defect removal while leaving a tight, consistent scratch pattern. At a fine grit rating, this wheel sits in the range suited for controlled material removal without excessive surface damage. It is installed and used by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians across industrial and trade applications.

This wheel is well suited for bench-mounted or angle grinder setups where operators need to blend welds, remove scratches, or prep surfaces before coating. The non-woven construction resists loading during use, which extends service intervals compared to conventional bonded rubber wheels. It is a direct functional replacement for rubber bonded finishing wheels in similar applications. The 8-inch diameter makes it compatible with standard arbor configurations used in fixed or portable grinding setups common in fabrication shops and field metalwork.

Key Features

• Aluminum Oxide mineral construction delivers aggressive cut for heavy-duty blending and finishing
• Non-woven web design resists premature loading for longer service life
• Produces a tight scratch pattern suitable for pre-coat surface prep
• Serves as a functional replacement for rubber bonded finishing wheels
• Fine grit rating balances material removal with surface finish control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for rubber bonded finishing wheels used in standard 8-inch bench grinder and angle grinder configurations for blending and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified grinding or fabrication technicians familiar with abrasive wheel safety requirements. Always power down and de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the arbor size, RPM rating of the wheel, and the grinder speed are compatible before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards.
