3M 7010328952 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 5 in Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7010328952 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing metal alloys, plastics, and composites. Built with a soft, conformable, layered construction, this 5-inch diameter wheel uses silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grit level to deliver controlled surface finishing without smearing or excessive heat buildup. Weighing 2 pounds, it is suited for bench-mounted or automated machine applications where consistent, repeatable surface contact is required across complex part geometries.

This unitized wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and manufacturing environments where edge finishing and surface prep are critical steps before coating, assembly, or inspection. The conformable construction makes it effective in robotic and automated processing setups where the abrasive must maintain contact with irregular or contoured surfaces. It is equally effective in manual bench grinding applications for deburring cut edges, weld seams, and machined surfaces on metal alloys as well as select plastics and composite materials.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive at fine grit for controlled smoothing and finishing
• Soft, layered, unitized construction conforms to complex and irregular part shapes
• Operates in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions for flexible mounting
• Resists smearing, leaving cleaner surfaces with less secondary prep required
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing risk of damage to heat-sensitive materials
• Wheel edge can be dressed to maintain cutting performance over time

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and automated or robotic finishing equipment that accept 5-inch diameter unitized abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's arbor size and speed rating requirements. Confirm the grinder's maximum RPM does not exceed the wheel's rated speed before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never use a wheel that shows cracks, tears, or delamination.
