3M 7100086975 Ceramic Flap Wheel 6 Inch 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100086975 is a 6-inch diameter ceramic flap wheel designed for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on metal surfaces. Built on an X-weight polyester/cotton cloth backing, the wheel uses a ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive blend bonded with resin to deliver consistent cut rate and extended service life. As the flaps wear, fresh abrasive mineral is continuously exposed, maintaining cutting performance throughout the wheel's life. This is a coated abrasive tool suited for fabrication shops, metal finishing operations, and trade professionals working on rounded or irregular workpiece geometries.

The 741A flap wheel is intended for use on a variety of metals in light grinding and surface finishing applications. The conforming flap design makes it well suited for contoured or irregular surfaces where a rigid disc would lose contact. Typical applications include weld blending, edge deburring, and pre-finishing work on structural steel, tubing, and fabricated components. The 60-grit ceramic abrasive provides an aggressive cut appropriate for stock removal while still leaving a clean, smooth surface finish.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive blend for high cut rate and long wheel life
• X-weight polyester/cotton backing withstands aggressive grinding and sanding loads
• Resin bond resists thermal and chemical deterioration for extended durability
• Conforming flap design maintains contact on rounded and irregular surfaces
• Self-renewing flaps expose fresh abrasive as the wheel wears for consistent performance

Compatibility

Designed as a coated abrasive flap wheel for use with compatible right-angle grinders and finishing machines that accept 6-inch diameter wheel tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder manufacturer's specifications and ANSI B7 safe use guidelines for abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a damaged or deformed flap wheel.
