3M 7100115526 Scotch-brite Laser Braze Unitized Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100115526 Scotch-Brite Laser Braze LB-UW is a unitized non-woven finishing wheel engineered to blend and finish imperfections produced during automotive laser brazing operations. At 8 inches in diameter, the wheel combines 3M non-woven Scotch-Brite material with 3M Precision Shaped Grain abrasive technology, delivering a faster cut rate alongside a consistently smooth surface finish. Weighing 3.085 pounds, it is built for durability in production environments where silicon bronze and similar metals are processed. Fabricators and automotive production technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This wheel is intended for laser brazing finishing applications in automotive manufacturing, where silicon bronze joints require blending before final surface preparation. Its open web construction is suited to high-cycle production use, where wheel longevity and consistent results across repeated passes are critical. It fits automated or manual right-angle grinder setups commonly found on production lines and in fabrication shops handling laser-brazed assemblies.

Key Features

• Unitized non-woven construction blends and finishes laser-brazed silicon bronze surfaces
• 3M Precision Shaped Grain abrasive provides a fast cut rate with a smooth resulting finish
• Open web design resists loading, extending effective service life in production use
• Flexible Scotch-Brite material reduces the need for frequent recalibration or tooling adjustments
• 8-inch diameter suits standard production grinder and finishing tool configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use on silicon bronze and compatible metals in laser brazing finishing applications typical of automotive production environments.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation should be performed by qualified fabricators or grinding equipment operators familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards. Ensure the grinder or finishing tool is powered off and fully stopped before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the wheel's rated maximum RPM before operation. Follow ANSI B11 abrasive wheel safety guidelines and wear appropriate PPE including eye and face protection during use.
