3M 7100000490 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100000490 Scotch-Brite MF-WL is a unitized abrasive finishing wheel designed for surface conditioning and finish work on metal. Built with a convolute construction wound around a fiber core, this 8-inch diameter wheel delivers consistent cutting action with high conformability. The silicon carbide abrasive mineral cuts smoothly across flat and contoured surfaces, producing uniform brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals. It is installed on stationary or portable grinders and used by metal fabricators, plumbers, and finishing tradespeople who require repeatable surface results.

This wheel is suited for professional finishing applications including blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and creating brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The open-web construction resists loading and keeps the wheel running cool, which is important during extended finishing runs on production or job-site work. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever a consistent, fine surface finish is required on metal components.

Key Features

• Unitized convolute construction wound on a fiber core runs smooth for fine, uniform finishing results
• Silicon carbide abrasive provides controlled cutting action that resists undercutting or gouging
• Open-web design resists loading and dissipates heat during use
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular or contoured metal surfaces
• Produces consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum
• Suitable for blending and matching existing mill finishes on stainless steel

Compatibility

Designed as a unitized abrasive finishing wheel for use on stationary or portable grinders and finishing machines that accept an 8-inch diameter wheel with a compatible arbor size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Ensure the grinder or finishing machine is fully de-energized and unplugged before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine's rated speed meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating speed before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel safety guidelines.
