3M 7100055440 Scotch-brite Exl Pro Deburring Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100055440 is a convolute deburring wheel from the Scotch-Brite EXL PRO line, built for off-hand deburring and edge-finishing operations in fabrication and metalworking environments. At 12 inches in diameter and 1.69 inches wide, this wheel delivers aggressive burr removal and edge radiusing while requiring less operator pressure than standard EXL wheels. The convolute construction maintains consistent contact across the work surface, producing repeatable results across high-volume finishing runs. It is installed and used by machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing technicians working with a range of metals.

This deburring wheel is suited for off-hand bench grinder and pedestal grinder operations in both job shop and production environments. It is designed to remove burrs, radius sharp edges, and blend surfaces without leaving excessive heat or smearing on the workpiece. The unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing cleanup time between operations. The EXL PRO wheel is especially well-suited for finishing heat-sensitive materials where discoloration and warping are a concern.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers smooth, consistent performance throughout the wheel life
• Removes burrs and radiuses sharp edges with less applied pressure than standard EXL wheels
• Resin system minimizes smearing, reducing surface cleaning time
• Minimizes heat buildup to lower the risk of discoloration and warping on heat-sensitive materials
• Extended service life compared to the original EXL deburring wheel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use convolute deburring wheel for standard bench and pedestal grinder spindles accepting 12-inch diameter abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following all applicable machine guarding and abrasive wheel safety standards, including ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and verify that the grinder RPM rating does not exceed the wheel speed rating. Use appropriate flanges and a blotter as required by the grinder manufacturer.
