Scotch-Brite - MU-WL Multi-Finishing Wheel, Medium Grit (Pack of 1)

I have used tons of Scotchbrite finishing wheels for well over a decade. Stainless steel and bronze and aluminum fine metal work, large public sculptures. Up to now my favorite was the EXL 2A Medium, which I get mostly in 6" x 1/2" wheels. Extremely versatile, can use the edge or the face like a 6" sandin disc. Even use them on a random orbit sander instead of sandpaper. But I needed a wider wheel for a brush or grain finish. 1" is about right for getting good bite while being wide enough. Sometimes I stack a number of wheels for a very wide surface but it's harder to get good pressure, it's more for final surfacing to get broad surfaces even. A single 1" wide wheel gets the bulk of the middle finishing, can do some light stock removal, but still give a nice end finish close to final, and this is as good as it gets, a good balance between removal and a fine finish. I usually end up with a Red Very Fine scotchbrite ball wheel and then hand pads after this. Also a nice balance between soft and hard. These last a very long time so I don't mind paying the price. I still would like something more aggressive because I still have to use a 7" disc initially on plate, but have not found that in a scotchbrite wheel yet.

Amazing!! Removes corrosion, carbon deposits, gunk, and leaves a quality finish behind. You can use this as your first step in the buffing process. Look at the results of my exhaust pipes that almost junked (one on right side not buffed yet- for comparison). This wheel brought life back to my old motorcycle parts.

The Scotch Brite Wheel MU-WL does a great job removing rust and smaller imperfections. Would definitely recommend.

Wheel gives a great finish, but it is not durable at all. Wheel practically falls apart if you are finishing a surface that is not flat/smooth.

I've used this brand wheel for 15 years with good luck. This time is different. It is wearing down very fast, and because of the price, I will have to shop around before my next purchase.

I've been using the Medium and Fine grit wheels for over a year and they are great. I refurbish old rusty tools and they quickly remove rust. I also was refinishing some old aluminum patio furniture and was able to quickly clean the old tarnish and oxidization without using chemicals.

Just like any other 3M product… works great.. as expected

I previously had a fine grit wheel but it wore too quickly using it on steel tube. The grit on this wheel is perfect for what I'm doing and leaves a great finish for welding afterwards. In my opinion an excellent value.
