3M 7010328709 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 3 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010328709 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and surface finishing on metal alloys, plastics, and composites. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter and mounts on a 3/8-inch arbor. Its layered, unitized construction delivers consistent abrasive action throughout the life of the wheel. The aluminum oxide abrasive resists smearing and minimizes heat build-up, making it suitable for use on heat-sensitive materials. This wheel is well suited for bench grinder, die grinder, or automated robotic processing applications where repeatable, controlled finishing is required.

This unitized wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and light industrial settings where controlled deburring, edge finishing, and surface preparation are needed. The conformable construction allows the abrasive to maintain contact with irregular or complex-shaped workpieces, making it effective in both manual and robotic processing environments. Suitable for finishing aluminum, steel, stainless, and other metal alloys as well as many plastics and composites. The wheel can run in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, adding installation flexibility.

Key Features

• Unitized, layered construction maintains consistent cut and finish throughout wheel life
• Runs clockwise or counterclockwise for flexible mounting
• Conformable consistency keeps abrasive in contact with complex or irregular part geometries
• Minimizes heat build-up to protect heat-sensitive base materials
• Resists smearing for cleaner surface results and reduced prep time
• Aluminum oxide abrasive suitable for metal alloys, plastics, and composites

Compatibility

Designed for use with bench grinders, die grinders, and automated finishing equipment accepting a 3/8-inch arbor and accommodating a 3-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder or spindle manufacturer's safe operating guidelines. Confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's rated speed before mounting. Power down and lock out the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows signs of cracking, fraying, or deterioration.
