3M 7010328699 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 3 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010328699 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing operations on metal alloys, plastics, and composites. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter and mounts on a 1/4 inch arbor. Its soft, conformable construction keeps the abrasive surface in continuous contact with the workpiece, making it well suited for edge finishing and surface preparation tasks. The aluminum oxide abrasive composition provides consistent cut across a range of densities and grades. The unitized, layered structure resists loading and smearing, which results in cleaner surfaces and reduces the need for additional prep work between passes.

This wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and finishing applications where controlled deburring and surface conditioning are required. It is appropriate for bench grinder and die grinder setups running at controlled speeds. The conformable consistency makes it effective on complex-shaped parts and curved edges, including robotic or automated processing lines. Suitable for use on steel, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and many plastics and composite materials. Minimizes heat build-up during operation, reducing risk of thermal damage to heat-sensitive workpieces.

Key Features

• Soft, conformable construction keeps abrasive in contact with irregular and complex-shaped surfaces
• Unitized, layered structure runs clockwise or counterclockwise without delaminating
• Resists smearing and loading for cleaner surface finishes with less prep between operations
• Minimizes heat build-up, reducing impact on heat-sensitive metals, plastics, and composites
• Wheel edge can be dressed to maintain effective deburring, finishing, and polishing performance
• Available in a range of densities and grades from soft and conformable to hard and aggressive

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard unitized wheel for bench grinders and die grinders accepting a 1/4 inch arbor with a 3 inch diameter wheel capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified personnel following applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards. Verify spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and do not operate a damaged wheel.
