Convolute wheel for multi-finishing
This 3M Scotch-Brite MU-WL wheel uses silicon carbide abrasive in a non-woven, open-coat construction. The soft density rating and medium grade suit blending and finishing tasks on metal surfaces. It mounts on a 3-inch connector and presents an 8-inch diameter with a 2-inch face width. The grey wheel is designed to resist loading during use.
Suited for blending and finishing.
The soft density and medium grade make this wheel appropriate for light deburring, blending tool marks and applying a uniform finish. It is not intended for aggressive material removal or shaping operations. Users needing rapid stock removal or a harder cutting action should select a different abrasive type.
Maximum operating speed 500 RPM
The wheel is rated for a maximum speed of 500 RPM. Exceeding this limit can cause the wheel to fail and creates a safety hazard. Verify that the sander or grinder used does not surpass this speed before mounting the wheel.

Questions about this item
What spindle size do I need on my tool to fit the 3 in connector on the 13186?
The wheel uses a 3 in connector, so your sander or grinder must accept a 3 in arbor or adapter.
Can I run this 500 RPM wheel on a variable-speed polisher that goes higher?
Do not exceed 500 RPM; running it faster than the rated maximum can cause the wheel to fail.
How do I know the MU-WL wheel is cutting correctly after I mount it?
A properly running wheel produces an even, consistent finish without vibration or loading on the workpiece.
