3M 7100066552 Scotch-brite Finishing Wheel 6 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100066552 is a Scotch-Brite convolute-constructed multi-finishing wheel designed for cleaning and final finishing on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals. The wheel uses silicon carbide mineral and a soft, open non-woven web construction to deliver a high degree of conformability with moderate aggressiveness. This combination makes it well suited for final finishing passes where controlled material removal and consistent surface results are the priority. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians use this wheel on bench grinders and arbor-mounted setups where a smooth, balanced running wheel is required throughout the product life.

This finishing wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where final surface finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals is required. Its highly conformable construction performs well on contoured, curved, and irregular surfaces where flat abrasives would lose consistent contact. Typical applications include deburring, cleaning, and finish work on stainless steel components, aluminum extrusions, brass fittings, and copper assemblies. The open web structure runs cool, reducing heat buildup on heat-sensitive base materials during extended finishing operations.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers a balanced, smooth-running wheel throughout product life
• Silicon carbide mineral provides uniform grain for consistent final finishing results
• Highly conformable for use on contoured, curved, and irregular metal surfaces
• Open, non-woven web runs cool and reduces heat impact on sensitive materials
• Moderate aggressiveness and lighter density allow controlled wear for repeatable results
• Suitable for stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, ferrous metals, and non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper. Suitable for bench grinder and arbor-mounted finishing applications requiring a convolute non-woven wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by qualified personnel following all applicable machine guarding requirements. Ensure the grinder or arbor is fully powered down and isolated 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. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow all applicable ANSI and OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards.
