3M 7010369151 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 8 Inch 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010369151 is an aluminum oxide flap wheel designed for aggressive stock removal, blending, finishing, and cleaning on metal workpieces. The coated abrasive flaps conform to contoured and radiused surfaces, delivering consistent coverage across varied shapes and profiles. At 8 inches in diameter and rated at 80 grit, this wheel produces a straight-line finish suited to both inside and outside diameter work. A steel mandrel reduces chatter and operator fatigue during extended use. Aluminum oxide construction cuts quickly and performs on ferrous and non-ferrous materials alike. This wheel is sold individually and is a standard tool for metal fabrication and surface prep work.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and maintenance environments where consistent surface finishing on cylindrical or contoured parts is required. It suits applications such as deburring pipe interiors and exteriors, blending weld seams, and cleaning oxidized or scaled metal surfaces. The 80 grit rating positions it for aggressive material removal while still leaving a controlled, uniform finish. Operators working on tubing, shafts, and formed metal components will find this wheel effective across a broad range of part geometries.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts aggressively on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Coated flap construction conforms to contoured and radiused surfaces
• Produces a straight-line finish for consistent blending and cleaning results

• 8 inch diameter provides broad coverage on inside and outside diameters

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces including tubing, pipe, shafts, and formed components requiring surface blending, finishing, or cleaning on contoured profiles.

Installation Notes

Flap wheels of this type are mounted and operated by qualified metal fabricators or maintenance technicians using compatible angle grinders or bench-mounted spindles rated for the wheel diameter and speed. Confirm that the drive tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum rated speed before mounting. Always inspect the wheel for damage before use and ensure all guarding is in place per ANSI and applicable safety standards. Disconnect and de-energize equipment before changing or mounting abrasive wheels.
