3M 7100111498 Scotch-brite Mu-wl 6 Inch Finishing Wheel

Product Description

The 3M 7100111498 is a Scotch-Brite MU-WL convolute-constructed finishing wheel designed for cleaning and final finishing on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals. Built with silicon carbide mineral and a soft, open non-woven web construction, it delivers a uniform grain finish while running cool to protect heat-sensitive base materials. The wheel measures 6.9 inches in diameter and 4.4 inches wide, weighing 1.2 pounds. It is suited for fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians who require consistent surface results across contoured or curved workpieces.

This wheel is used in metal fabrication and finishing operations where a high degree of conformability is needed. Its moderate aggressiveness and lighter density make it appropriate for final finishing passes on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Typical applications include surface prep, cleaning, and final finishing on fabricated parts, tubing, and structural components in shop or light industrial environments.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers a balanced, smooth-running wheel throughout its service life
• Open, non-woven web design runs cool and reduces heat impact on sensitive materials
• Uniform silicon carbide grain provides consistent final finishing on stainless, ferrous, and non-ferrous metals
• High conformability allows effective finishing on curved, contoured, and irregular surfaces
• Moderate aggressiveness and light density allow controlled wear for repeatable results

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit finishing wheel for bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and arbor-mount finishing machines that accept 6-inch diameter convolute wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworker or finishing technician familiar with powered abrasive equipment. Before mounting, power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine per standard LOTO procedures. Verify that the arbor bore and machine speed rating are compatible with the wheel specifications before use. Always use proper flanges and ensure the wheel is seated and secured before resuming operation.
