3M 7100167134 Ceramic Flap Wheel 60 Grit 3.5 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100167134 is a 741A series ceramic flap wheel engineered for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on metal surfaces. The wheel measures 3.5 inches in diameter and is built with a ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive blend bonded to an X-weight polyester and cotton backing. The flap design allows the abrasive sections to conform to rounded and irregular workpiece profiles, producing a smooth, consistent finish. As the flaps wear, fresh abrasive mineral is exposed, maintaining cut rate throughout the wheel's service life. Resin bonding resists thermal and chemical breakdown, extending usable life under aggressive conditions.

This flap wheel is suited for metalworking applications in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production settings. It handles light stock removal, surface blending, edge deburring, and pre-polish prep on curved or contoured metal parts. The 60-grit ceramic abrasive provides an aggressive cut while still leaving a clean surface suitable for downstream finishing steps. It is typically used by welders, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide blend delivers high cut rate and extended wheel life
• X-weight polyester and cotton backing withstands aggressive grinding and sanding loads
• Resin bond resists thermal and chemical deterioration for longer service life
• Flap design conforms to rounded and irregular surfaces for uniform material removal
• Self-renewing abrasive flaps expose fresh mineral as wheel wears, maintaining consistent cut
• 60-grit coated ceramic construction balances cutting aggression with finish quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style coated abrasive flap wheel for use on right-angle grinders and rotary tools accepting 3.5-inch diameter flap wheel accessories in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworking or maintenance professionals familiar with angle grinder tooling and abrasive wheel safety. Verify the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or delaminated flap wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting, guarding, and personal protective equipment.
