3M 7010365661 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010365661 Scotch-Brite MF-WL Metal Finishing Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel designed to produce consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Wound around a fiber core with an open-web construction, it runs cool and resists loading during extended use. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter and accepts a 1-inch arbor, making it compatible with standard bench grinders and polishing machines. Aluminum oxide abrasive provides controlled cutting action without undercutting or gouging the workpiece. At 1.53 pounds, it is suited for stationary finishing applications where surface quality and consistency are the primary objectives.

This finishing wheel is used in fabrication and finishing shops working with stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. Typical applications include blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel sheet, as well as producing brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The highly conformable construction allows the wheel to follow irregular and contoured surfaces, making it effective for components that are not flat or uniformly shaped. It is commonly operated by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians in light manufacturing or job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Open-web construction resists loading and dissipates heat during continuous operation
• Convolute design wound on a fiber core runs smoothly for fine, uniform surface finishing
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular, contoured, and curved surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action prevents undercutting or gouging of workpiece material
• Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers consistent cutting power across stainless steel, brass, and aluminum

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. Fits standard bench grinders and polishing equipment with a 1-inch arbor. Effective for blending 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for finishing plumbing fixtures, appliance trim, cutlery, and builders hardware.

Installation Notes

Mount this wheel on a bench grinder or finishing machine with a matching 1-inch arbor. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and unplugged before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel. Operators should wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheel use.
