3M 7100022785 Scotch-brite Exl Deburring Wheel 6 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100022785 Scotch-Brite EXL Deburring Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel engineered for fast, consistent deburring, finishing, and polishing of metals, composites, and glass. Built with a hard, dense aluminum oxide construction, the wheel removes burrs and surface irregularities without undercutting, gouging, or distorting the workpiece. At 6 inches in diameter, it fits standard bench grinder and arbor setups used in fabrication shops, automated finishing lines, and general metalworking environments. Machinists, fabricators, and toolroom technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This wheel is suited for deburring stamped parts, laser-cut components, and edges that require cleanup after belt sanding. Its conformable characteristic allows the abrasive to maintain contact with complex or irregular profiles, making it effective in both manual finishing and robotic processing applications. The convolute construction keeps the wheel running smoothly through the full service life, delivering a repeatable surface finish on a wide range of substrate types including heat-sensitive materials.

Key Features

• Hard, dense convolute construction delivers consistent deburring and finishing without distorting the workpiece
• Conformable design maintains abrasive contact on complex-shaped and irregular parts, including robotic processing use
• Effective on metals, composites, and glass, reducing the need to swap wheels between tasks
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing and reduces post-operation surface cleaning time
• Minimizes heat buildup, lowering the risk of discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive substrates
• Suitable for use after belt sanding as a finishing step or as a standalone deburring operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit convolute deburring wheel for standard 6-inch bench grinder and arbor configurations used in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or fabrication technicians familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use, and ensure the arbor size, flange, and speed rating are compatible with the machine specifications. Always operate within the maximum rated RPM and use appropriate eye and face protection during operation.
