3M 7100195561 Flap Wheel 8 Inch Ceramic P120 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100195561 is a ceramic abrasive flap wheel designed for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing on metal surfaces. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter and features a P120 grit ceramic aluminum oxide blend bonded to X-weight cotton backing. The flap construction allows the abrasive sections to conform to curved, rounded, or irregular workpiece profiles, producing a smooth, consistent finish. A built-in grind-aid additive helps reduce heat buildup during operation, making it suitable for use on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Resin bonding throughout the construction resists thermal and chemical breakdown to extend service life.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and finishing applications where surface conformance is critical. The 8-inch diameter suits bench-mounted or pedestal grinder setups. It handles light stock removal as well as blending and deburring passes on pipe, tubing, castings, and formed metal parts. The ceramic abrasive delivers a higher cut rate and longer wheel life compared to standard aluminum oxide, making it a practical choice for production or repetitive finishing work across stainless steel, carbon steel, and other common metals.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide blend provides high cut rate and extended wheel life
• X-weight cotton backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding loads
• Resin bond resists thermal and chemical deterioration for longer service
• Flap design conforms to rounded and irregular surfaces for smooth, even finishes
• Built-in grind-aid reduces operating temperature on stainless steel and other metals
• Suited for light grinding, blending, deburring, and polishing in a single wheel

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench-mounted or pedestal grinders accepting an 8-inch diameter flap wheel. Suitable for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, and general non-ferrous metals in fabrication and maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Installation and dressing of abrasive wheels should be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Verify that the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage prior to each use and do not operate a damaged wheel.
