3M 7100115797 Unitized Laser Braze Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100115797 is a unitized non-woven abrasive finishing wheel engineered to blend and finish the imperfections left by laser brazing operations. Built on an open-web Scotch-Brite non-woven construction and loaded with 3M Precision Shaped Grain, this wheel delivers a fast cut rate and a consistent smooth finish in a single pass. At 8.63 inches in diameter and 2.63 inches wide, it is sized for production-scale surface conditioning on Silicon Bronze welds and similar metal substrates. Fabricators and automotive production technicians install this wheel on bench grinders or automated finishing equipment as part of a laser brazing line.

This wheel is intended for blending and finishing Silicon Bronze and other metal parts produced through laser brazing, a process common in automotive body panel manufacturing. The open-web non-woven structure resists loading, meaning the wheel stays clear of debris and maintains its cut rate throughout its service life. Its flexible construction also reduces the frequency of machine recalibration and positional adjustments during production runs, supporting consistent output across high-volume applications.

Key Features

• Open-web non-woven construction resists loading and extends effective service life
• 3M Precision Shaped Grain delivers fast cut rate and smooth surface finish
• Unitized wheel design maintains consistent performance throughout wheel life
• Flexible material reduces need for machine recalibration during production runs
• Suited for Silicon Bronze and similar metal substrates from laser brazing operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on Silicon Bronze and compatible metals in laser brazing finishing applications, typically mounted on bench grinders or automated surface conditioning equipment used in automotive production environments.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by qualified fabricators or production maintenance technicians familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Before mounting, power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Verify the machine spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows signs of delamination or structural defects.
