3M 7010365786 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010365786 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing metal alloys, plastics, and composites. The 12-inch diameter wheel uses silicon carbide abrasive in a soft, conformable construction that keeps the abrasive in contact with irregular or complex surface profiles. At 0.6 pounds and 1.7 inches wide, it mounts to bench grinders and automated finishing equipment. The unitized construction holds its form through the life of the wheel, delivering consistent cut and finish without loading or smearing the workpiece surface.

This wheel is suited for fabrication shops, aerospace component finishing, metal service centers, and robotic or automated deburring lines. It handles edge finishing and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as many engineered plastics and composites. The conformable structure makes it effective on contoured or complex-shaped parts where rigid wheels lose contact. It is sold individually and is available in a range of densities and grades, from a soft 2 density for high conformability to a hard 8 density for aggressive cut and extended durability.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive construction for effective deburring, finishing, and polishing of metal alloys and many plastics and composites
• Soft, conformable consistency maintains abrasive contact on complex-shaped and contoured parts, including robotic processing applications
• Unitized layered construction runs clockwise or counterclockwise without loss of integrity
• Resists smearing, leaving cleaner surfaces and reducing post-process prep time
• Minimizes heat build-up, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive base materials
• Available across multiple densities and grades to match application requirements from light finishing to aggressive stock removal

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and automated finishing equipment accepting 12-inch diameter unitized wheels. Suitable for metal alloys, many plastics, and composite materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards. Verify that the spindle speed of the host machine does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or changing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and never operate a cracked or compromised wheel.
