3M 7100080159 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 6 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100080159 is a non-woven unitized abrasive wheel designed for medium-pressure surface preparation tasks including cleaning, blending, light deburring, and edge radiusing. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive mineral, this 6-inch diameter wheel features a soft to medium density construction that produces consistent, uniform finishes on flat and contoured workpieces. The open web structure resists loading, extending service life across repeated passes. It is used by metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and industrial trade professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This wheel is well suited for blending weld seams, cleaning mill scale, and breaking sharp edges on aluminum, steel, and other metal stock. The soft to medium density makes it appropriate for applications where aggressive stock removal is not required but surface finish consistency matters. It mounts to standard unitized wheel mandrels, which are sold separately, and can be run in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, making it compatible with a wide range of angle grinders, bench grinders, and arbor-drive tools.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral suits ferrous and non-ferrous metals including aluminum and steel
• Soft to medium density supports medium-pressure blending and cleaning without aggressive cutting
• Open web construction resists loading for longer abrasive service life
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for greater tool and machine compatibility
• Effective for light deburring, edge radiusing, and surface blending on flat or contoured parts
• Improved edge durability over 500 Series for better cut and extended life in blending applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard unitized wheel mandrels sold separately. Compatible with angle grinders, bench grinders, and similar arbor-drive machines that accept 6-inch diameter mounted abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Mounting and wheel changes should be performed by trained personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Ensure the tool is powered off and fully stopped, and the power source is disconnected before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. The unitized wheel mandrel is required for mounting and is sold separately.
