3M 7100100679 Aluminum Oxide Flexible Flap Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100100679 is an aluminum oxide flexible flap wheel engineered for finishing work on inside diameters and contoured surfaces. The coated abrasive flaps produce a consistent linear scratch pattern while keeping dust off the workpiece during operation. This wheel is suited for deburring edges, removing flash, and smoothing parting lines on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A steel mandrel reduces chatter during use, supporting steadier contact and more uniform results. Licensed trades and metal fabrication shops reach for this wheel when inside-diameter work demands a controlled, repeatable finish.

This flap wheel is designed for use on inside diameters and contoured workpieces across a wide range of metal fabrication and finishing applications. It is appropriate for residential and commercial shop environments where deburring, flash removal, and surface smoothing are routine tasks. The flexible flap construction allows consistent contact on irregular or curved surfaces that rigid abrasive wheels cannot follow effectively. The aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly and performs on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it a versatile choice across different material types.

Key Features

• Flexible flaps maintain contact on flat and contoured surfaces for an even finish
• Coated abrasive construction cleans and deburrs inner diameters effectively
• Produces a linear scratch pattern for a consistent, straight-line surface finish
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and improves stability during grinding
• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 8 inch diameter suitable for a broad range of inside-diameter workpiece sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use flap wheel for stationary and portable grinding applications requiring an 8 inch diameter flexible abrasive wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Ensure the wheel is rated for the RPM of the drive tool before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never exceed the rated maximum speed. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and face protection when operating abrasive wheels.
