3M 7010365596 Finishing Flap Brush 8x2x3 in 5S Vfn

Product Description

The 3M 7010365596 is a finishing flap brush designed for light-duty cleaning and surface finishing applications. Individual abrasive sheets are adhered at a 90-degree angle to a central core, creating a flexible flap action that conforms to irregular surfaces during use. The brush uses very fine grade silicon carbide as the abrasive mineral, rated at a medium hardness 5 density. At 1.33 pounds, the brush measures 8 inches in diameter, 2 inches in face width, and mounts on a 3-inch arbor. It is suited for deburring, light surface prep, and finish blending on metal, wood, or composite materials.

This flap brush is used in light industrial, fabrication, and finishing environments where controlled material removal and surface conditioning are required. The very fine silicon carbide mineral makes it appropriate for final-pass finishing and cleaning operations rather than aggressive stock removal. It is commonly installed on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, or arbor-mounted equipment where a consistent, repeatable surface finish is needed across flat and contoured workpieces.

Key Features

• Individual abrasive flap sheets adhered at 90 degrees to the core for flexible surface contact
• Very fine grade (VFN) silicon carbide abrasive mineral for light finishing and cleaning
• Medium hardness, density 5 construction for controlled cut and finish consistency
• 8-inch diameter with 2-inch face width for broad surface coverage
• 3-inch arbor bore for compatibility with standard bench and pedestal grinder spindles
• Light-duty rating suited for finishing and cleaning rather than heavy material removal

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and arbor-mounted finishing equipment accepting a 3-inch arbor bore. Suitable for use on metal, wood, and composite surfaces requiring light-duty cleaning or finish work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's spindle speed and arbor size specifications. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the flap brush. Verify that the machine's rated RPM does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the brush. Ensure the arbor nut is properly secured before returning the machine to service.
