3M 7100018574 Scotch-brite Exl-xp Deburring Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100018574 is a convolute deburring and finishing wheel from the Scotch-Brite EXL-XP line, built for high-demand metal fabrication and surface preparation work. This 8-inch diameter wheel delivers a high cut rate while running smoothly throughout its service life. The exposed mineral construction reduces smearing and minimizes heat buildup, making it suitable for use on heat-sensitive base materials. At 0.71 pounds, it is sized for bench-mounted or pedestal grinder applications where consistent deburring, edge blending, and light polishing are required on production or job-shop floors.

This wheel is intended for deburring, polishing, and finishing operations on metals, composites, and glass. The fine grit designation makes it appropriate for finish passes where surface quality matters as much as material removal. Fabricators, weld shops, and machine shops working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals will find it suited to edge work following cutting, stamping, or milling operations. The convolute construction maintains conformability across the wheel face, allowing consistent contact on contoured or flat workpieces.

Key Features

• High cut rate with smooth running maintained over the full life of the wheel
• Exposed mineral reduces smearing and cuts down on surface cleaning time between operations
• Minimizes heat buildup to reduce thermal impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Maintains wheel conformability and resists chunking during aggressive use
• Compatible with metals, composites, and glass surfaces
• Fine grit for finish deburring, edge blending, and light polishing

Compatibility

Designed as a convolute deburring wheel for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting an 8-inch diameter wheel; suitable for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass.

Installation Notes

Metalworking professionals and fabricators should mount this wheel following the grinder manufacturer specifications for flange size and arbor fit before powering the machine. Confirm the grinder RPM rating is compatible with the wheel rating before operation. Always dress the wheel on a powered grinder before the first use and inspect for damage after any drop or impact. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating abrasive wheels per standard shop safety practice.
