3M 7100042616 Scotch-brite Unitized Finishing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100042616 is a Scotch-Brite MF-WL unitized metal finishing wheel designed to produce consistent satin, brushed, and mill finishes on metal workpieces. Built with a convolute construction wound around a fiber core, the wheel delivers smooth, uniform abrasive action across the contact surface. Aluminum oxide (AO) abrasive provides controlled cutting power without gouging or undercutting the base material. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch arbor, this wheel mounts to bench grinders and finishing machines used daily in metal fabrication and trade finishing work.

This wheel is suited for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for creating brushed or satin finishes on items including cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The open-web construction resists loading and runs cool, making it effective on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous and ferrous metals. It handles irregular and contoured surfaces due to its high conformability, which allows the abrasive to follow the shape of the workpiece rather than bridging across high points.
