3M 7100095564 Buff and Blend Hs Wheel 3in 3ply Med

Product Description

The 3M 7100095564 is a non-woven Buff and Blend HS abrasive wheel engineered for deburring, edge breaking, and decorative finishing on metal and plated surfaces. At 3 inches in diameter, 3-ply construction, and mounted on a 1/4-inch shank, this wheel is built for rotary tool and die grinder use by fabricators, machinists, and metalworkers. Aluminum oxide abrasive grain is bonded to nylon strands, delivering a consistent scratch pattern suited to satin and grain finishing. The HS designation indicates the stiffest and most aggressive material in the Standard Abrasives Buff and Blend line, making it effective on small, stubborn burrs and sharp edges without gouging the substrate.

This wheel is well suited for work on irregular-shaped parts including pipe threads, edges of molded glass containers, and non-ferrous die cast components. It is commonly used in stainless steel fabrication, plumbing fixture manufacturing, door hardware production, food equipment manufacturing, aluminum extruded products, aircraft engine component finishing, and orthopedic implant surface preparation. The non-woven construction conforms to contours and extrusions, making it practical for parts that are difficult to finish with rigid abrasives.

Key Features

• HS-grade non-woven construction — stiffest and most aggressive in the Buff and Blend line for effective deburring
• Aluminum oxide grain bonded to nylon strands produces a uniform scratch pattern for satin and grain finishes
• Permanently affixed 1/4-inch shank eliminates disc ganging and provides a sturdier, more stable wheel
• Conforms to contoured and extruded surfaces while minimizing gouging or marring
• Suitable for brass, steel, bronze, pewter, stainless steel, and plated plastics
• Removes surface contamination and produces clean, consistent finishes without irregular scratches

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and similar equipment accepting a 1/4-inch shank. Appropriate for metal surfaces including brass, steel, bronze, pewter, stainless steel, and plated plastics, as well as non-ferrous die cast and molded glass edge applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or finishing technicians using standard rotary or die grinder equipment. Ensure the tool is powered off and fully stopped before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the tool's maximum RPM rating is compatible with the wheel before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards during use.
