3M 7010366948 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 2 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010366948 is a unitized non-woven abrasive wheel designed for light-pressure surface preparation tasks including cleaning, blending, and finishing on both flat and contoured workpieces. Built with a soft, conformable density, this wheel delivers the finesse required when working to strict dimensional tolerances. The aluminum oxide (AO) abrasive construction provides faster cutting action compared to buff-and-blend style non-woven products while maintaining a controlled, smooth finish. The open web construction resists loading, extending the usable service life of the wheel. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians use this wheel in production and job-shop environments where consistent surface results matter.

This wheel is suited for light deburring, surface blending, and finishing applications on metal and similar materials. Its soft density makes it particularly effective on contoured or complex geometry parts where surface conformability is critical. The 2-inch diameter size fits well into tight workspaces and smaller pneumatic or electric rotary tools when used with an appropriate unitized wheel mandrel. It is applicable in both manual and machine-mounted finishing operations across general metalworking, aerospace prep, and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Soft density construction provides exceptional surface conformability for close-tolerance finishing work
• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts faster than buff-and-blend non-woven products
• Open web design resists loading and extends abrasive service life
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for greater tool and machine compatibility
• Center hole mount attaches via a unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately)
• Non-woven construction delivers consistent, smooth surface finish results

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard unitized wheel mandrels compatible with rotary tools and machines accepting a center-hole mounted non-woven abrasive wheel. Mandrel sold separately.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by metalworking or finishing technicians using appropriate rotary tool equipment. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel RPM rating before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use damaged or deformed wheels.
