3M 7010329660 Scotch-brite Convolute Deburring Wheel 16 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010329660 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven abrasive wheel in the Scotch-Brite LD-WL series, designed for light deburring, polishing, and blending on metals, composites, and glass. The soft construction allows the wheel to run cool and conform to workpiece surfaces, keeping fresh abrasive mineral continuously exposed for consistent finishing results. At 16 inches in diameter and weighing 3.45 pounds, this wheel is suited for bench-mounted or pedestal grinder setups where controlled surface finishing is required. Machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing technicians are the primary users.

This wheel is used in light industrial and manufacturing environments where fine burr removal and surface finishing must be performed without excessive heat generation or material smearing. It is well suited for finishing heat-sensitive metals and composites where a harder wheel would risk distortion or surface damage. Typical applications include deburring stamped or machined parts, blending weld seams, and final polishing before inspection or coating. The wheel handles multiple finishing tasks in a single setup, reducing the need for secondary operations.

Key Features

• Convolute non-woven construction runs cool and reduces heat impact on sensitive materials
• Soft build conforms to workpiece geometry for consistent, even finishing
• Continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral as the wheel wears
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing prep and cleanup time
• Multi-purpose: deburrs, blends, polishes, and finishes metals, composites, and glass in one wheel
• Economical system for removing fine burrs while producing a polished surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal finishing machines that accept convolute-style abrasive wheels. Suitable for use on all types of metals, composites, and glass surfaces requiring light deburring or polishing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's mounting instructions and applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards. Power down and lockout the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm that the machine's rated RPM does not exceed the wheel's maximum operating speed. Do not apply excessive lateral force during operation.
