3M 7000028481 Scotch-brite Exl Deburring Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000028481 is a convolute deburring and finishing wheel from the Scotch-Brite EXL line, designed for high-production metalworking and fabrication environments. The wheel features a hard, dense, conformable construction that deburrs, finishes, and polishes metals, composites, and glass in a single operation. Aluminum oxide abrasive is bonded through a unique resin system that minimizes smearing and heat buildup, reducing the risk of discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive workpieces. This wheel is suited for bench grinder or automated robotic setups where consistent, repeatable surface finishing is required.

This wheel is well matched to deburring stamped parts, laser-cut metal components, and workpieces that require finishing after belt sanding. Its conformable nature allows the abrasive to maintain contact with irregular or complex-shaped surfaces, making it effective in both manual bench applications and automated robotic processing lines. Suitable for use on all types of metals, composites, and glass across light industrial and heavy fabrication settings.

Key Features

• Hard, dense convolute construction delivers a consistent finish without undercutting, gouging, or distorting the workpiece
• Conformable abrasive layer maintains contact with complex geometries, including robotic processing applications
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing post-process cleaning time
• Minimizes heat buildup to protect heat-sensitive metals, composites, and glass from discoloration and warping
• Effective across metals, composites, and glass, reducing the need to change wheels between tasks
• Suited for deburring after stamping, laser cutting, or belt sanding operations

Compatibility

Designed as a convolute deburring wheel for use on bench grinders and automated finishing equipment that accept a 12-inch diameter wheel arbor configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's mounting instructions for convolute wheels. Ensure the grinder or finishing machine is fully de-energized and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine's maximum RPM rating is compatible with the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and do not use damaged or imbalanced wheels.
