3M 7010366658 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 12x2 Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7010366658 is a nonwoven aluminum oxide unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light deburring on metal, wood, and composite materials. Measuring 12 inches in outside diameter and 2 inches in width with a 5-inch center hole, it mounts to compatible arbors and spindles for use on bench grinders, lathes, and automated finishing equipment. Rated at a maximum of 2,500 RPM, this fine-grade wheel delivers consistent surface conditioning without aggressive stock removal. It is well suited for fabrication shops, maintenance operations, and production finishing lines where a controlled, uniform finish is required.

This flap wheel is used in metalworking and fabrication applications where surface blending, scratch removal, or pre-coating preparation is needed. Its fine grade makes it appropriate for finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as wood and plastics. The nonwoven construction conforms to contoured surfaces and provides a consistent cut throughout the life of the wheel, reducing the need for frequent changeovers. Typical installers include machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians working with stationary or automated abrasive equipment.

Key Features

• Nonwoven aluminum oxide construction for consistent surface conditioning throughout wheel life
• Fine grade abrasive for finishing, blending, and light deburring passes
• 12-inch outside diameter and 2-inch width for broad surface coverage
• 5-inch center hole for mounting on standard arbors and spindles
• 2,500 maximum RPM rating for use on bench grinders and automated equipment
• No interleaf construction allows free conforming action on irregular surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an unmounted flap wheel for use with compatible arbors and spindles accepting a 5-inch center hole bore on stationary or automated abrasive finishing equipment.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or industrial maintenance technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the spindle speed does not exceed the 2,500 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow all applicable ANSI abrasive wheel safety standards during installation and use.
