3M 7000000700 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 3 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000000700 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for deburring, smoothing, and surface finishing on metal alloys, plastics, and composites. Built with a soft, conformable construction, the wheel keeps the aluminum oxide abrasive in continuous contact with the workpiece surface, including complex geometries. The layered, unitized body runs in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, making it compatible with standard bench grinders and die grinders. At 3 inches in diameter with a 3/8 inch arbor, this wheel is sized for handheld and stationary power tool use in fabrication, maintenance, and finishing operations.

This wheel is suited for metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance operations where consistent edge finishing and deburring are required. It performs on a wide range of metal alloys including steel and aluminum, as well as many plastics and composites. The conformable construction makes it well-suited for robotic processing setups where abrasive contact on irregular or contoured parts is critical. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this type of wheel.

Key Features

• Soft, conformable construction maintains abrasive contact on complex-shaped and contoured workpieces
• Wheel edge can be dressed for targeted deburring, finishing, and polishing of metal alloys, plastics, and composites
• Tough layered unitized body operates in both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Resists smearing for cleaner surface results and reduced preparation time
• Available in a range of densities from soft and conformable to hard and aggressive for varied application requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use with bench grinders, die grinders, and rotary tool setups accepting a 3/8 inch arbor. Suitable for deburring and finishing operations on metal alloys, many plastics, and composites.

Installation Notes

Installation of unitized wheels should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following the tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the tool's rated RPM is compatible with the wheel's maximum RPM rating before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never exceed the rated speed.
