3M 7010368976 Ao Flap Wheel 3.5 in 60 Grit Metal

Product Description

The 3M 7010368976 is an aluminum oxide flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, finishing, and cleaning on metal workpieces. The coated abrasive flaps conform to contoured and radiused surfaces, producing a consistent straight-line finish. At 3.5 inches in diameter and 60 grit, this wheel delivers aggressive stock removal suited to both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A steel mandrel construction reduces chatter during operation and limits operator fatigue. Licensed metal fabricators, welders, and machinists reach for this style of flap wheel when working inside and outside diameters where flat abrasive discs cannot maintain consistent contact.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication and finishing applications where contoured or radiused surfaces require uniform abrasive coverage. It performs on tasks ranging from weld blending and deburring to surface preparation and cleaning. The 60-grit aluminum oxide construction makes it well suited for moderate-to-aggressive stock removal on steel, aluminum, and other metals. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in shop and field environments where a straight-line finish is required.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Flaps conform to contoured and radiused surfaces for consistent coverage
• 60-grit construction delivers aggressive stock removal and blending
• Produces a straight-line finish on inside and outside diameters
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and operator fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use on inside and outside diameters of metal workpieces including ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Consult mandrel and RPM specifications to confirm compatibility with the intended rotary tool or die grinder.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by a machinist, fabricator, or metalworker on a compatible rotary tool, die grinder, or drill press. Confirm that the tool's RPM rating does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows signs of wear beyond the abrasive flap material.
