3M 7100074355 Scotch-brite Exl Deburring Wheel 16 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100074355 is a convolute deburring wheel from the Scotch-Brite EXL line, designed for high-production deburring, finishing, and polishing of metals, composites, and glass. The wheel uses an aluminum oxide abrasive mineral bonded in a hard, dense, conformable construction that removes burrs and smooths surfaces without undercutting, gouging, or distorting the workpiece. At 16 inches in diameter and 1.7 inches wide, it suits large-diameter arbor setups on stationary finishing equipment. Metalworkers and fabrication shops rely on this wheel for consistent, repeatable surface prep results.

This wheel is built for industrial and fabrication environments where stamped, laser-cut, or belt-sanded parts require burr removal and surface finishing in a single operation. The convolute construction keeps the wheel running smooth and balanced under load, making it well-suited for automated and robotic processing lines where the abrasive must maintain consistent contact with complex or irregular part geometries. It is also used in manual bench-grinder setups for job-shop deburring work.

Key Features

• Hard, dense convolute construction delivers consistent finishing without undercutting or gouging the workpiece
• Conformable structure keeps abrasive in full contact with complex-shaped or irregular parts, including in robotic applications
• Effective on metals, composites, and glass, reducing the need to change wheels between materials
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing and reduces post-processing cleaning time
• Minimizes heat buildup to reduce discoloration and warping risk on heat-sensitive substrates
• Ideal for deburring after stamping, laser cutting, or belt sanding operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit deburring wheel for stationary finishing equipment and robotic processing systems that accept 16-inch convolute wheel configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified metalworking or maintenance personnel following the equipment manufacturer's arbor and flange specifications. Always power down and lock out the finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine's rated operating speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating printed on the wheel. Eye protection, face shields, and appropriate PPE are required during operation per ANSI B7.1 guidelines.
