3M 7100022464 Clean and Strip Rim Wheel 12x2x3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100022464 is a large-diameter clean and strip rim wheel designed for aggressive surface preparation tasks including weld cleaning, rust removal, and paint stripping. Built with an open web construction, the wheel allows debris to escape during use, reducing loading and maintaining consistent cutting action. The 7S density rating indicates a hard, long-lasting formulation suited for demanding production and maintenance work. At 12 inches in diameter with a 2-inch face width and 3-inch arbor hole, this wheel mounts to stationary or bench grinders and fits workflows where a large contact area and fast material removal are priorities.

This rim wheel is intended for use in fabrication shops, metal service centers, and industrial maintenance environments. It is well suited for preparing metal surfaces prior to welding or coating, removing mill scale, and stripping corrosion from structural steel and similar substrates. The layered rim construction distributes abrasive material evenly across the wheel face, making it a practical choice for technicians and fabricators who need repeatable results on flat or slightly contoured workpieces.

Key Features

• Open web construction resists loading during rust, paint, and weld-cleaning operations
• 7S XCS density rating delivers a hard, long-lasting cut for high-demand surface prep
• Layered rim design provides even abrasive distribution across the 2-inch face width
• Large 12-inch diameter increases contact area and reduces passes needed on broad surfaces
• 3-inch arbor hole size suits common stationary grinder and power-finishing machine spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-use rim wheel for stationary grinders and power-finishing machines that accept a 3-inch arbor bore and accommodate a 12-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder or finishing machine manufacturer's mounting instructions. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and confirm the machine's maximum RPM rating is compatible with the wheel's rated speed. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation per ANSI and applicable shop safety standards.
