3M 7000021282 Convolute Deburring Wheel 16 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000021282 is a convolute-constructed light deburring wheel from the Scotch-Brite line, designed for deburring, polishing, and blending operations on metal, composite, and glass surfaces. Built with a soft, non-woven web construction, the wheel runs cool and requires less operator effort compared to harder wheel constructions. It measures approximately 16.6 inches in length and 16.5 inches in width, weighing 9 pounds. The unique resin system minimizes smearing, which reduces prep and cleanup time between operations. This wheel is suited for fabrication shops, metalworking facilities, and industrial maintenance environments where consistent surface finishing is required.

The 7000021282 is applied in light deburring and finishing applications across a range of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass. It is commonly used in production grinding setups, bench-mounted arbors, and automated finishing lines where a consistent, polished result is needed on parts with fine burrs or surface irregularities. The convolute construction continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral as the wheel wears, maintaining cutting performance throughout the wheel life. This makes it a practical choice for high-volume finishing tasks in manufacturing and fabrication settings.

Key Features

• Convolute construction continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral for consistent performance
• Soft, non-woven web runs cool and reduces thermal impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, cutting down on clean-up and prep time
• Multi-purpose wheel cleans, finishes, blends, deburrs, and polishes in a single operation
• Soft construction reduces operator effort compared to harder wheel grades
• Suitable for use on metals, composites, and glass

Compatibility

Designed for use as a convolute deburring and finishing wheel on bench-mounted or machine-driven arbor setups suitable for a 16-inch diameter wheel in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the arbor speed rating does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM before operation. Follow ANSI B7.1 guidelines for safe mounting and use of abrasive wheels.
