3M 7010369158 Flexible Flap Wheel 8 in Ao 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010369158 is an aluminum oxide flexible flap wheel designed for finishing inside diameters and contoured surfaces. The flexible coated abrasive flaps conform to curved geometry and produce a consistent linear scratch pattern, making this wheel a practical choice for deburring edges, removing flash, and smoothing parting lines. At 8 inches in diameter and 80 grit, it cuts quickly through ferrous and non-ferrous materials alike. A steel mandrel keeps the wheel stable under load and reduces chatter during operation. Licensed trades and metalworking professionals reach for this wheel when a controlled, straight-line finish is required on irregular or tubular workpieces.

This flap wheel is suited for use on inside diameters and contoured surfaces in both light fabrication and production metalworking environments. It handles common tasks including edge deburring, flash removal, and parting-line smoothing on a range of ferrous and non-ferrous base materials. The 8-inch diameter and flexible flap construction make it effective on workpieces where rigid abrasive wheels would lose contact with the surface. Each unit is sold individually.

Key Features

• Flexible flaps conform to flat and contoured surfaces for consistent contact
• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Produces a linear scratch pattern for uniform surface finish
• Steel mandrel minimizes chatter and improves stability during use
• 80 grit is effective for deburring, flash removal, and parting-line smoothing
• 8-inch diameter provides broad coverage on larger inside-diameter workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style abrasive flap wheel for use on die grinders, lathes, or drill presses that accept an 8-inch flap wheel with the appropriate mandrel attachment.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by qualified personnel following the tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and de-energize the host machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM. Appropriate eye protection and PPE are required during operation.
