3M 7100159568 Scotch-brite Unitized Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100159568 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Unitized Wheel designed for aggressive deburring, blending, and finishing on harder metals. Built with a tightly layered, non-woven construction, this wheel delivers controlled abrasive action using silicon carbide mineral that cuts fast and produces a consistent bright finish from first use to last. At 6 inches in diameter and weighing 0.42 pounds, the compact form factor makes it well suited for portable tool applications and jobs where small diameters and narrow widths are required. Metalworking professionals and fabricators use this wheel where precision surface work and material removal control are both critical.

This unitized wheel is intended for use on harder metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, and high nickel alloys. It performs well in production and maintenance environments where blending weld seams, removing burrs, and achieving a refined surface finish are routine tasks. The flexible, non-woven structure helps prevent undercutting or gouging during aggressive passes, making it a practical choice for finishing work that must stay within tight tolerance. Its unitized construction supports operation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, offering flexibility across different tool setups and operator preferences.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive mineral delivers fast cutting action and a bright, consistent finish throughout the wheel life
• Tightly layered unitized construction operates in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation
• Flexible, non-woven structure provides controlled abrasive action that resists undercutting and gouging
• Scotch-Brite material resists loading and wears uniformly for continuous cutting performance
• Compact 6-inch diameter suits portable tool use and applications requiring small-diameter wheels
• Available in medium to hard densities for use on harder metals and demanding surface finishing tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use on harder metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, and high nickel alloys; suitable for deburring, blending, and finishing applications on compatible angle grinders and bench-mounted tools accepting 6-inch unitized wheels.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed and serviced by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using compatible angle grinders or bench grinders rated for the wheel diameter and arbor size. Verify that the tool speed rating does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before mounting. Power down and de-energize the tool completely before changing or inspecting the wheel. Always use appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive wheels.
