Abrasive wheel for light finishing

This 3M unitized wheel uses aluminum-oxide non-woven material in a medium-grade, soft-density construction. It measures three inches in diameter with a quarter-inch face width and a three-eighths-inch unthreaded centre hole. The wheel is rated for a maximum operating speed of 12,100 RPM and carries model number 16054.

Suited for blending and deburring on softer metals

The soft density and medium grade make it appropriate for cleaning, blending or light deburring where stock removal must stay minimal. It is not intended for aggressive grinding, heavy weld removal or applications that require a harder, faster-cutting abrasive.

12,100 RPM maximum speed rating

Exceeding this speed can cause the wheel to disintegrate and creates a serious safety hazard. Verify that the tool’s free speed is at or below this figure before mounting the wheel.

Questions about this item

What does 12,100 RPM mean when the wheel is running on a tool?

The wheel is rated to run safely at up to 12,100 revolutions per minute. Your tool must not exceed this speed or the wheel could fail.

How does the 3/8 inch unthreaded hole affect mounting?

The 3/8 inch unthreaded centre hole fits directly onto a matching arbor or mandrel. No threads are present, so a retaining nut or quick-change adapter is required to secure it.

Will the 3 inch diameter and 1/4 inch face width fit my sander?

The wheel measures 3 inches in overall diameter and 1/4 inch wide at the face. Check your sander’s wheel guard and spindle length to confirm it accepts these dimensions.
