3M 7000046107 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046107 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and surface finishing on metal alloys, plastics, and composites. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a soft, conformable layered construction, this 6-inch wheel mounts on a 5/8-inch arbor and runs on bench grinders and automated finishing equipment. The unitized structure integrates abrasive throughout the wheel body, so performance stays consistent as the wheel wears down. Weighing 0.32 pounds, it is well-suited for use in fabrication shops and production environments where heat buildup and surface smearing are concerns.

This wheel is used in metalworking and fabrication applications including edge deburring, surface blending, and final finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It also performs on many plastics and composites. The conformable construction makes it effective on complex contoured parts, including robotic and automated processing lines where consistent abrasive contact is required. Typical installers and operators include machinists, fabricators, weld finishers, and maintenance technicians working in light to medium industrial settings.

Key Features

• Soft, conformable unitized construction maintains abrasive contact on complex and contoured part geometries
• Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers consistent cut on metal alloys, plastics, and composites
• Wheel edge can be dressed for targeted deburring, finishing, and polishing operations
• Layered construction operates clockwise or counterclockwise without performance loss
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive workpieces
• Resists smearing for cleaner surface results and reduced prep time between operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and finishing machines accepting a 5/8-inch arbor with a 6-inch wheel capacity. Suitable for metal alloys, many plastics, and composite materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or equipment operators. Power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the machine arbor size matches the 5/8-inch bore before securing. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and operate within the speed rating marked on the wheel or packaging.
