3M 7000045917 Scotch-brite Exl Convolute Deburring Wheel 14 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000045917 Scotch-Brite EXL Convolute Deburring Wheel is a hard, dense abrasive wheel built for deburring, finishing, and polishing metals, composites, and glass. At 14 inches in diameter and 1.7 inches wide, this convolute-construction wheel delivers consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of surface finishing tasks. Weighing 3.1 pounds, it is engineered for use on automated robotic lines as well as manual bench operations. Its unique resin system minimizes smearing and heat buildup, reducing the risk of discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive substrates. Licensed trade professionals and industrial finishing technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This wheel is well suited for finishing stamped parts, laser-cut components, and surfaces that have gone through belt sanding. Its conformable nature keeps the abrasive material in contact with complex-shaped workpieces, making it a practical choice for both robotic processing cells and manual finishing stations. Effective on all types of metals, composites, and glass, it reduces the need to swap wheels between different material types during production runs.

Key Features

• Hard, dense, conformable construction deburrs and finishes without undercutting, gouging, or distorting workpieces
• Convolute wheel design maintains smooth running and delivers a consistent surface finish
• Effective on metals, composites, and glass — one wheel handles multiple material types
• Conformability keeps abrasive in contact with complex geometries, including robotic processing applications
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing and reduces post-process cleaning time
• Minimizes heat buildup to lower risk of discoloration and warping on heat-sensitive substrates

Compatibility

Designed for use as a convolute deburring and finishing wheel on standard arbor-mount bench grinders and automated robotic finishing systems that accept 14-inch diameter convolute wheels.

Installation Notes

This wheel is typically mounted and operated by industrial finishing technicians or qualified shop personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully de-energized and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine's rated speed meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating RPM before use. Always inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and follow applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel handling and guarding.
