3M 7100138311 Ceramic Flap Wheel 60 Grit 1 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100138311 is a 1-inch diameter ceramic flap wheel designed for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on metal surfaces. Built on an X-weight cotton cloth backing with resin bonding, this 60-grit wheel delivers consistent cut rate and long service life. The ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive blend runs cooler than standard alumina wheels, making it well suited for work on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive alloys. A grind-aid coating reduces friction and heat buildup during aggressive material removal. Sold individually, this wheel is a practical consumable for fabrication shops and maintenance operations requiring a repeatable, smooth finish on rounded or irregular workpiece profiles.

This flap wheel is intended for use on a variety of metals in light grinding, surface blending, and deburring applications. The abrasive flaps conform to contoured and irregular surfaces, making it effective on tubing, pipe, weld beads, and machined components. Typical users include metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and trade professionals performing surface prep before coating or inspection. It is suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a clean, smooth finish is required without aggressive stock removal.

Compatibility

Designed as a coated abrasive flap wheel for use on rotary tools and die grinders accepting 1-inch diameter accessories; compatible with a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces requiring light grinding, blending, or deburring.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel following the tool and wheel manufacturer safety guidelines. Verify that the spindle speed of the host tool does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel that shows cracking, fraying, or delamination. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection, and ensure workpiece and tool are secured before beginning operation.
