3M 7100079996 Scotch-brite Multi-finishing Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100079996 is a Scotch-Brite MU-WL Multi-Finishing Wheel built for cleaning and final finishing on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals. Convolute construction layers non-woven abrasive web around a core, producing a balanced wheel that runs smoothly from first use to last. The open, non-woven web dissipates heat during operation, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive base materials. A combination of silicon carbide mineral grades and soft density makes this wheel the right tool when conformability and controlled cut are both required in a final finishing pass.

This wheel is suited for finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in fabrication, maintenance, and surface prep applications. The moderate aggressiveness and lighter web density provide consistent material removal across the full life of the wheel, making it a practical choice for contoured and curved workpieces where surface contact must remain uniform. It is typically used by metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and surface finishing professionals working on flat, curved, or irregular profiles.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers a balanced, smooth-running wheel throughout product life
• Open, non-woven web runs cool and reduces heat buildup on sensitive materials
• Silicon carbide mineral provides uniform grain for consistent final finishing results
• Highly conformable design maintains contact on contoured, curved, and irregular surfaces
• Moderate aggressiveness and lighter density support controlled wear and repeatable performance

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Mount on a compatible arbor-style grinder or finishing machine rated for the wheel diameter and RPM before operating. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel. Power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Use appropriate eye protection and respiratory PPE when operating abrasive wheels on metal surfaces.
