3M 7010365994 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 6x2 in Medium

Product Description

The 3M 7010365994 is a nonwoven aluminum oxide unmounted flap wheel designed for deburring, blending, and surface finishing applications. The wheel measures 6 inches in outer diameter by 2 inches wide with a 2-inch center hole, and runs at a maximum of 3,400 RPM. It carries a medium grade abrasive rating and features a flap density of 7, making it well suited for consistent stock removal and surface conditioning on metal and other hard materials. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators rely on this style of flap wheel when a controlled, repeatable finish is required on contoured or flat surfaces.

This nonwoven flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and finishing operations where a medium cut rate is needed without aggressive material removal. Typical applications include weld blending, rust removal, and pre-paint surface prep on steel, stainless, and aluminum workpieces. It is mounted on a compatible arbor or mandrel and is commonly found in both shop and field settings. The unmounted configuration allows it to be paired with a variety of arbor setups to fit existing equipment.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive material for durable cutting action on metal surfaces
• Nonwoven construction provides consistent finish and conforms to irregular surfaces
• Medium grade abrasive balances cut rate with surface finish quality
• Flap density of 7 for uniform material contact throughout wheel life
• 3,400 RPM maximum operating speed
• 2-inch center hole for standard arbor or mandrel mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an unmounted flap wheel for use with compatible arbors or mandrels that accept a 2-inch center hole and support wheels up to 6 inches in outer diameter at the rated maximum RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Verify that the spindle speed of the drive tool does not exceed 3,400 RPM before mounting. Ensure the arbor or mandrel is rated for the wheel dimensions and is in good condition before use. Always inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow applicable ANSI B7.1 or equivalent safety standards for abrasive wheel operation.
