Product Details
The 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Metal Finishing Wheel MF-WL measures 12 inches by 5 inches by 1 inch and features aluminum oxide medium abrasive, combining conformability with consistent abrasive cutting action to provide uniform brushed stainless and satin finishes. This wheel is effective for blending and matching #3 or #4 mill finishes on stainless steel and creating brushed or satin finishes on cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. It is also used on softer metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass to blend out minor surface imperfections and handling marks while providing decorative finishes on hardware and fixtures. Typically used on stationary machinery, these wheels are available in diameters ranging from 6 to 16 inches and widths of 1/2 inch or greater, with a convolutedly wound core to ensure smooth running and professional results. The wheel is available in grades CRS and medium, using aluminum oxide abrasive known for its high cut rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, making it suitable for a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives integrate abrasives into non-woven nylon or synthetic fibers, producing an abrasive system that maintains consistent performance throughout the product life. The open-web material design helps the wheel run cool and resist loading, maintaining high cutting performance by limiting fiber clogging. Typical applications include blending, finishing, polishing, producing straightline brushed finishes, and weld cleaning.
