3M 7000000723 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 1 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000000723 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Abrasive Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing metal alloys, plastics, and composites. The wheel measures 1 inch in diameter with a 1/8 inch arbor and features an aluminum oxide (AO) abrasive construction. Its soft, conformable consistency allows the abrasive to maintain contact with irregular or complex-shaped workpiece surfaces during grinding and finishing operations. The layered, unitized construction resists smearing, minimizes heat build-up, and can be dressed at the edge to restore cutting performance. This wheel is suited for use by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with precision surface finishing requirements.

This unitized wheel is used in bench grinder, die grinder, and automated robotic finishing setups where consistent edge deburring, surface smoothing, or finish polishing is required. It is appropriate for applications on metal alloys including steel and non-ferrous materials, as well as many plastics and composites. The conformable nature of the wheel makes it particularly effective in robotic or CNC processing cells where the abrasive must follow contoured or profiled part geometries without damaging heat-sensitive substrates.

Key Features

• Soft, conformable construction maintains abrasive contact on complex and contoured part shapes
• Wheel edge can be dressed to restore effectiveness for deburring, finishing, and polishing
• Layered, unitized design operates in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions
• Minimizes heat build-up to protect heat-sensitive materials during finishing
• Resists smearing for cleaner surface results and reduced prep time
• Aluminum oxide abrasive suitable for metal alloys, plastics, and composites

Compatibility

Designed as a unitized abrasive wheel for use with bench grinders, die grinders, and automated finishing equipment accepting a 1/8 inch arbor and 1 inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards. Ensure the spindle and arbor are fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine RPM rating does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and discard any wheel showing cracks, chips, or uneven wear.
