Highlights
  • CONSISTENT CUTTING POWER: High conformability and uniform wear deliver superior satin, mill, and brushed finishes
  • PROFESSIONAL RESULTS ON METALS: Open-web construction resists loading, suitable for stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other metals
  • PRECISE MATERIAL REMOVAL: Controlled abrasive action helps prevent undercutting or gouging
  • CONFORMABLE WHEEL: Effectively finishes irregular or contoured surfaces
  • UNIFORM FINISHING: Convolute construction wound around a fiber core runs smooth for consistent results

Scotch-Brite™ Metal Finishing Wheel combines conformability with consistent abrasive cutting action to provide uniform brushed stainless and satin finishes. The Metal Finishing Wheel is also used effectively to blend and match #3 or #4 mill finishes on stainless steel and to create brushed or satin finishes on items such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures.

On softer metals like aluminum, copper, and brass, our Scotch-Brite™ Metal Finishing Wheels are used to blend out minor surface imperfections and handling marks while providing the desired decorative finish on products such as builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures. Typically used on stationary machinery, the wheels are available in diameters of 6 to 16 inches and widths of 1/2 inch and greater. This highly conformable wheel is convolutely wound on a core to run smoothly and help create professional finishing results. Available in grade CRS and MED. Our Scotch-Brite™ Metal Finishing Wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven nylon or synthetic fibers. Combining abrasives with the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. We chose an open-web material that is load resistant, which keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.

Suggested applications
  • This unitized wheel is a good match for mid-sequence applications such as cleaning of hard metals or general deburring
  • Harder material density and increased edge durability makes this wheel ideal for heavier-duty tasks
