Scotch-Brite™ Metal Finishing Wheel combines conformability with consistent abrasive cutting action to provide uniform brushed stainless and satin finishes. Our 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. The Scotch-Brite™ Metal Finishing Wheel combines conformability with consistent abrasive cutting action to provide uniform brushed stainless and satin finishes. On softer metals like aluminum, copper, and brass, 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 builder’s hardware and plumbing fixtures. Typically used on stationary machinery, the wheels are available in diameters of 6 inch to 16 inch in and widths of 1/2 inch in and greater. These highly conformable wheels are convolutely wound on a core to run smoothly and help create professional finishing results. Available in coarse and medium grade, this durable wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive. Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. 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.
