3M 7100159569 Scotch-brite Unitized Wheel 1.5 in Abrasive

Product Description

The 3M 7100159569 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Unitized Wheel designed for aggressive deburring, blending, and finishing on harder metals. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch arbor, this tightly layered, non-woven wheel mounts to portable rotary tools and bench-mounted spindles. The aluminum oxide abrasive mineral is loaded at high concentration, delivering fast cutting action and a bright, consistent finish from first use through the end of the wheel's life. It is suited for trade and industrial applications where controlled material removal on demanding metals is required without the risk of gouging or undercutting the workpiece.

This unitized wheel is built for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, high nickel alloys, and similarly hard metal substrates. Its compact 1.5-inch diameter and narrow width make it well-suited for tight clearances, detail work, and portable tool applications where larger wheels cannot reach. Welders, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly use this wheel for weld blending, surface prep, and edge finishing in both shop and field environments. The wheel operates in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, adding flexibility across different tool configurations.

Key Features

• Tightly layered unitized construction operates in clockwise or counterclockwise direction
• High concentration aluminum oxide abrasive for fast cutting and consistent bright finish throughout wheel life
• Flexible, non-woven construction delivers controlled abrasive action and helps prevent undercutting or gouging
• Scotch-Brite material resists loading and wears uniformly for continuous cutting action
• Compact 1.5-inch diameter suited for small-diameter and narrow-width applications requiring portability
• Effective on stainless steel, carbon steel, and high nickel alloys

Compatibility

Designed for use with portable rotary tools and spindle-mounted equipment accepting a 0.25-inch arbor. Suitable for deburring, blending, and finishing applications on hard metals in fabrication, welding, and maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by a welder, fabricator, or maintenance technician using standard spindle-mount procedures for the host tool. Confirm the tool is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the tool's rated RPM does not exceed the wheel's maximum operating speed before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel showing signs of delamination or cracking.
