3M 7100057730 Convolute Deburring Wheel 10 in 5 in Arbor

Product Description

The 3M 7100057730 is a convolute-construction deburring wheel designed for mid-range aggressiveness and hardness across a wide range of surface finishing operations. Built on the Scotch-Brite EX2 platform, this wheel handles deburring, edge radiusing, blending, polishing, and final finishing in production and job-shop environments. At 10 inches in diameter with a 5-inch arbor bore, it mounts directly to bench-mounted or pedestal finishing machines. The wheel weighs approximately 16.976 pounds and ships as a single unit. Fabricators, metal finishers, and tool-and-die professionals will find it most effective when consistently fed sharp edges or metal burrs.

This wheel is suited for deburring and finishing operations on metal alloys including steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, and copper, as well as many plastics and composite materials. It is a strong fit for production environments where repeatable edge condition and surface finish quality are required after machining, stamping, or casting operations. The convolute structure provides consistent density across the wheel face, making it appropriate for both light finishing passes and more aggressive edge-break work depending on how the wheel edge is dressed.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers mid-range hardness and aggressiveness for controlled deburring and finishing
• Wheel edge can be dressed to tailor aggressiveness for specific metal alloys, plastics, and composites
• Operates clockwise or counterclockwise, offering flexibility on reversible finishing machines
• Resists smearing for cleaner surface results and reduced prep time between operations
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive base materials
• Tough, layered unitized structure maintains consistent performance throughout wheel life

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench-mounted or pedestal finishing machines accepting a 5-inch arbor bore with a 10-inch diameter convolute wheel. Suitable for use on metal alloys and many plastics and composites.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking or machine shop professional familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and lock out the finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel.
