7" Type 27 Green Corps Flexible Grinding Wheel - 36 Grit, 7/8" Hole

3M's best quality, these 1/8" thick bonded wheels contain proprietary synthetic Cubitron™ - one of the hardest, longest lasting abrasives available.

Cubitron particles are somewhat less sharp than aluminum oxide, but they are harder and wear down more slowly.
They are especially suitable for high heat applications such as working on tough metal substrates - like stainless steel or cold rolled steel.

With a bonded construction, the abrasive is distributed throughout the structure - not just on the surface - for longer useful life.

These flexible wheels have a standard 7/8" center hole and require the use of a clear plastic back-up pad for safety and support.
A traditional retainer nut is also needed.

These flexible wheels are also available with a built-in spin-on hub for 5/8"-11 thread - for quick disc changes.
