3M 7100068954 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel Fine Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100068954 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing operations on metal alloys, plastics, and composites. The wheel measures 1 inch in diameter and uses silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grit rating. Its soft, conformable construction keeps the abrasive in consistent contact with the workpiece surface, making it well-suited for edge finishing and light material removal. The unitized layered structure holds its shape throughout the wheel life, delivering repeatable results without loading or smearing. Fabricators, machinists, and metalworkers are the primary users of this product.

This wheel is intended for bench grinder, die grinder, or automated robotic finishing setups where consistent edge treatment is required. It performs well on complex-shaped parts where conformability is critical. The fine grit rating makes it appropriate for finishing and polishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal. It is also suitable for use on heat-sensitive materials, as the construction is engineered to minimize heat buildup during operation.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive at fine grit for controlled finishing and polishing
• Soft, conformable construction maintains abrasive contact on complex geometries
• Unitized layered design operates in clockwise or counterclockwise directions
• Resists smearing for cleaner surface results with less post-process preparation
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing risk of thermal damage to heat-sensitive materials
• Wheel edge can be dressed to restore profile for extended service life

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal alloys, plastics, and composites in bench grinder, die grinder, and robotic finishing applications requiring a 1 inch diameter unitized wheel.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed and serviced by machinists or fabricators familiar with bench or die grinder tooling. Ensure the grinder is powered off and unplugged before mounting or changing wheels. Verify that the spindle speed rating of the machine does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before operation. Follow applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting and use.
