3M 7100067216 Unitized Metal Finishing Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100067216 is a unitized Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel designed to deliver consistent abrasive cutting action for brushed, satin, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Built with an open-web, convolute construction wound around a fiber core, the wheel runs cool and smooth while resisting loading during extended use. Silicon carbide abrasive provides controlled cutting action that removes surface imperfections without undercutting or gouging the base material. At 8 inches in diameter, this wheel suits bench grinder and pedestal grinder setups commonly found in metalworking and fabrication shops. It is suited for use by professional fabricators, finishing technicians, and plumbing or HVAC tradespeople working with metal components.

This wheel is used to blend and match 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and to create brushed or satin finishes on items such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Its highly conformable structure allows it to follow irregular, contoured, or profiled surfaces where flat abrasive tooling would leave uneven results. Effective on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous and ferrous metals, it covers a wide range of finishing applications in production and field service environments.
