3M 7100031796 Scotch-brite Convolute Deburring Wheel 16 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100031796 is a convolute-constructed light deburring wheel designed for removing fine burrs while leaving a polished finish on the workpiece surface. Built on a non-woven web construction, the wheel runs cool and reduces heat transfer to heat-sensitive materials. The soft construction requires less operator effort compared to harder wheel styles, making it well suited for extended production runs. It handles deburring, polishing, blending, finishing, and cleaning across metals, composites, and glass in a single tool.

This wheel is used in metalworking and fabrication environments where light deburring and surface finishing are performed in the same operation. Typical applications include production shops, machine shops, and manufacturing facilities working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass. The convolute design continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral as the wheel wears, promoting consistent finishing results throughout the life of the wheel.

Key Features

• Convolute non-woven construction runs cool and reduces heat impact on sensitive materials
• Soft wheel construction reduces operator effort compared to harder deburring wheels
• Continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral for consistent finishing performance
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing cleanup and prep time between operations
• Multi-purpose use: deburrs, polishes, blends, finishes, and cleans in one wheel
• Compatible with metals, composites, and glass surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard production wheel for bench-mounted or arbor-driven deburring and finishing equipment accepting 16-inch diameter convolute wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation of convolute deburring wheels should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's mounting instructions. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the arbor speed does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum RPM. Appropriate eye protection and guards must be in place before operation.
