3M 7010369157 Flexible Flap Wheel 8 Inch Ao 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010369157 is an aluminum oxide flexible flap wheel designed for grinding, finishing, and deburring applications on inside diameters and contoured surfaces. The flexible coated abrasive flaps conform to the workpiece geometry and produce a consistent linear scratch pattern. At 80 grit, the wheel removes material efficiently while leaving a controlled straight-line finish. A steel mandrel stabilizes the wheel during operation and reduces chatter. Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making this wheel a practical choice for fabrication and metalworking shops.

This flap wheel is used in deburring, edge finishing, flash removal, and parting line smoothing operations. It suits applications where the work surface is curved, contoured, or tubular and a flat grinding wheel would not make consistent contact. Typical users include metal fabricators, machinists, and production line finishing technicians working on inside diameters or irregular profiles. The wheel mounts via a steel mandrel, allowing use in drill presses, lathes, or handheld die grinders depending on the setup.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 80 grit removes material and smooths parting lines and flash efficiently
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and stabilizes the wheel during use
• Produces a linear scratch pattern suited to inside diameter finishing
• Each unit sold individually; minimum order quantity is 2 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or direct-use flap wheel for applications requiring flexible abrasive contact on inside diameters and contoured workpieces in metalworking operations.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or metalworking technicians familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards. Ensure the spindle speed of the host machine does not exceed the rated maximum RPM of the wheel before mounting. Power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never use a wheel that shows signs of cracking or delamination.
