3M Circular Abrasive Brush, 152.4mm Diameter

Scotch-Brite™ Radial Bristle Brush uses our own blend of 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain, with aluminium oxide and moulded, flexible but firm bristles which give more surface contact than wire brushes.

Use Scotch-Brite™ Radial Bristle Brush to remove paint, stains, adhesives, weld burns, rust, heavy oxides, and surface contaminants from various metals.

The brushes use a blend of 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain including aluminium oxide, with moulded, flexible but firm bristles which give more surface contact than wire brushes.

Designed to last longer than wire and other abrasive discs. The abrasive remains constant throughout the product lifespan, and they work well on a variety of metals, including aluminium, brass, bronze, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel and more.

Ceramic abrasives are engineered to cut fast and handle intense heat and stress applications. Ceramic abrasive grain surpasses aluminium oxide abrasives in cut rate and durability. It can be used for industrial grinding and finishing.

• Moulded, abrasive filled bristles finish, polish, and deburr, more efficiently than wire brushes

• 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain blend gives superior finish quality throughout the life of the disc

• Cleans with minimal pressure

• Flexible bristles for uniform finishes, on detail grooves, patterns, and other hard-to-reach areas

• Contains no wire filaments for improved safety

• Use for heavy stock removal

• Suitable for industrial grinding and finishing, polishing, and deburring

The Scotch-Brite™ Radial Bristle Brush features 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain technology blended with Aluminium oxide and moulded into flexible bristles. This brush allows for more surface contact than wire brushes and continually self-sharpens so the abrasive doesn't dull over time. Use this brush to help remove paint, stains, adhesives, weld burns, rust, heavy oxides, and surface contaminants.

Are flap discs more effective than standard abrasive discs?

While both discs can be used for wood and metal surfaces, flap discs are better suited for use with metal. Abrasive discs are better at removing material from a surface, but for grinding metal surfaces, flap disc presents a more durable and long-lasting solution. They even have some advantages over grinding wheels in that, while they may not remove metal as aggressively, they are slightly safer to use and produce less sparks.

What is the difference between flap discs and flap wheels?

Flat discs are designed to be used with hand-held equipment such as angle-grinders, to be moved over a surface or medium that needs to be sanded or polished. Flap wheels were originally designed to be used with a static machine such as a fixed buffing machine, where the medium is used against the belt. However, flap wheels can also be used on handheld rotary tools such as electric drills. A flap wheel strikes a surface in a less regular way that a flap disc, meaning there are less uniform scratches, which is desirable particularly for metal buffing and polishing. They also last longer than conventional discs as the flaps wear from the outside in, rather than consistently across a disc surface. Conventional flap discs, however, may present a more cost-effective solution for less specialized applications.

How should these wheels be stored?

In order to keep them in ideal condition, flap discs should be stored flat, avoiding damp and frost or wide temperature variations.

What do grit sizes mean?

• P40 Grit – Useful when you need to remove heavy stock from a surface.
• P60 Grit – For when you need to remove stock from a surface, but will need to refine the finish.
• P80 Grit – This is for light stock removal and sharping only.
