3M 7100048712 Scotch-brite Mu-wl Finishing Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100048712 Scotch-Brite MU-WL Multi-Finishing Wheel is a convolute-constructed abrasive wheel designed for cleaning and final finishing on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals. Built with silicon carbide mineral and a soft, open non-woven web construction, it delivers controlled, consistent material removal with minimal heat buildup. At 12 inches in diameter and 2.6 inches wide, it suits bench grinder and arbor-mounted finishing setups used in metal fabrication and surface prep work. Licensed machinists, metal fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This wheel is intended for final finishing applications where a high degree of conformability is required. Its combination of mixed mineral grades and lighter density makes it well suited for contoured, curved, and irregular surfaces on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Typical use cases include surface conditioning, light deburring, and achieving a uniform grain finish on stainless steel and other structural metals in shop or production environments. The open web structure allows the wheel to run cool, reducing risk of heat distortion on heat-sensitive workpieces.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers a balanced, smooth-running wheel throughout its service life
• Silicon carbide mineral provides uniform grain for consistent final finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Highly conformable design suits contoured, curved, and irregular surfaces
• Open, non-woven web runs cool and reduces heat impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Moderate aggressiveness and lighter density allow controlled wear for repeatable results
• Sold individually as a single wheel unit

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals in final finishing and surface conditioning applications.

Installation Notes

This wheel is mounted by metal fabricators and finishing technicians on bench grinders or arbor-driven finishing equipment. Ensure the machine is powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the arbor speed rating of the equipment does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before operation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn at all times during use.
