3M 7100007006 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100007006 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Abrasive Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing metal alloys, plastics, and composites. Built with a layered, unitized construction and silicon carbide abrasive, the wheel delivers consistent cut and surface finish across a range of densities and grades. At 12 inches in diameter and 1.69 inches wide, it fits bench-mounted and pedestal grinder setups commonly used in fabrication shops, weld finishing operations, and metal surface prep applications. The wheel weighs 1.88 pounds and is sold as a single unit.

This wheel is suited for both production and maintenance environments where edge deburring, surface finishing, and polishing of metal parts are required. Its soft, conformable consistency makes it effective on complex-shaped workpieces, including those processed in robotic or automated systems. The wheel can operate in clockwise or counterclockwise directions, adding flexibility on reversible spindle equipment. It is a practical choice for fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as select plastics and composites.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive construction for effective deburring, finishing, and polishing
• Layered, unitized design runs clockwise or counterclockwise without performance loss
• Conformable consistency maintains abrasive contact on complex and irregular part geometries
• Available in a range of densities and grades from soft and conformable to hard and aggressive
• Resists smearing for cleaner finished surfaces and reduced prep time
• Minimizes heat buildup to protect heat-sensitive base materials during finishing

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal alloys, many plastics, and composites; fits bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting 12-inch diameter unitized abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabrication technician familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Verify that the spindle speed rating of the grinder does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use and never use a cracked or visibly damaged wheel.
