3M 7100046809 Scotch-brite Exl Pro Deburring Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100046809 is a convolute deburring wheel from the Scotch-Brite EXL PRO line, engineered for off-hand deburring and edge-radiusing operations in metalworking and fabrication environments. Measuring 8 inches in diameter, this wheel uses a convolute construction that keeps surface contact smooth and consistent throughout the wheel's life. The EP-WL formulation features an extra-tough abrasive composition bonded with a unique resin system that minimizes smearing and reduces cleanup time. Licensed metalworkers, fabricators, and tool-room technicians working on heat-sensitive materials will benefit from its reduced heat buildup, which lowers the risk of discoloration and workpiece warping.

This wheel is suited for off-hand bench grinder and pedestal grinder operations in manufacturing, job shop, and maintenance environments. It is designed to quickly remove burrs and radius sharp edges on metal parts without requiring excessive operator pressure. The convolute structure delivers consistent, repeatable results across the wheel's full service life, making it well-suited for high-volume deburring lines or individual workstation use where operator fatigue and surface finish quality are both considerations.

Key Features

• Convolute construction maintains smooth, consistent cut throughout service life
• Extra-tough abrasive composition removes burrs and radiuses edges with less applied pressure than standard EXL wheels
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing post-process surface cleaning time
• Reduced heat buildup lowers risk of discoloration and warping on heat-sensitive workpieces
• Extended service life compared to original EXL wheel formulation

Compatibility

Designed for use on off-hand bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting 8-inch diameter convolute deburring wheels. Consult your grinder manufacturer's specifications to confirm arbor size and RPM rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by a qualified operator or maintenance technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel or grinder. Follow ANSI B7.1 standards for safe use, handling, and protection of abrasive wheels during off-hand grinding operations.
