3M 7100111497 Scotch-brite Metal Finishing Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100111497 is a Scotch-Brite MF-WL unitized metal finishing wheel designed to produce consistent brushed, satin, and mill finishes on metal surfaces. Built with a convolute construction wound around a fiber core, the wheel combines high conformability with controlled aluminum oxide abrasive cutting action. The open-web structure resists loading and runs cool, making it well-suited for sustained finishing work on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar metals. The 6-inch diameter wheel mounts on a 1-inch arbor and is sold individually.

This wheel is used in metal fabrication, plumbing fixture finishing, appliance trim work, cutlery production, and builders hardware applications. It is effective for blending and matching 3 or 4 mill finishes on stainless steel and for creating uniform brushed or satin finishes on contoured or irregular surfaces. Trade professionals in metal finishing shops, plumbing fabrication, and light manufacturing rely on this wheel for repeatable surface quality without undercutting or gouging the base material.

Key Features

• Convolute construction around a fiber core runs smooth for fine, uniform surface finishing
• Open-web design resists loading and dissipates heat during extended use
• High conformability allows effective finishing on irregular and contoured surfaces
• Controlled abrasive action prevents undercutting or gouging the workpiece
• Compatible with stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals
• Effective for blending 3 or 4 mill finishes and producing satin or brushed surface profiles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard unitized finishing wheel for bench grinders and finishing machines accepting a 1-inch arbor with a 6-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a metalworking or fabrication professional. Before mounting the wheel, power down and lock out the finishing machine per standard lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum RPM of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows cracks, tears, or deformation.
