3M 7010366066 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010366066 Scotch-Brite MF-WL Metal Finishing Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel engineered to produce consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Built around a fiber core with an open-web construction, the wheel runs cool and resists loading during extended use. At 8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch arbor bore, it mounts on bench grinders and finishing machines commonly found in fabrication shops and metalworking facilities. Aluminum oxide abrasive provides controlled cutting action without undercutting or gouging the workpiece. Metalworkers, fabricators, and plumbing fixture manufacturers rely on this wheel for repeatable surface finish results.

This finishing wheel is suited for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for creating uniform brushed or satin finishes on a range of metal products. Typical applications include cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The highly conformable construction allows the wheel to follow irregular and contoured surfaces, making it effective on parts that flat abrasives cannot reach consistently. It performs on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Convolute construction wound around a fiber core delivers smooth, fine, uniform finishing action
• Open-web design resists loading and dissipates heat to protect workpiece surface integrity
• Controlled aluminum oxide abrasive action prevents undercutting and gouging
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular and contoured surfaces
• Produces consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes suitable for matching existing surface grades
• Compatible with stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and stationary finishing machines with a 3-inch arbor. Suitable for metalworking applications involving stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

This wheel should be mounted by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM. Use appropriate eye protection and guarding during operation.
