3M 7100117398 Scotch-brite Laser Braze Unitized Wheel 3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100117398 Scotch-Brite Laser Braze LB-UW is a unitized non-woven finishing wheel engineered to blend and finish imperfections produced by laser brazing in automotive manufacturing environments. At 3 inches in diameter, the wheel combines open-web non-woven Scotch-Brite material with 3M Precision Shaped Grain abrasive technology, delivering faster cutting action and a consistent surface finish on Silicon Bronze and similar metal alloys. The unitized construction maintains flexibility throughout the wheel's life, reducing downtime caused by recalibration or equipment adjustments. Licensed metalworking and auto body professionals are the primary installers and operators of this product.

This finishing wheel is designed for use in automotive production lines and metal fabrication shops where laser brazing is part of the joining or body-panel assembly process. It is particularly suited for blending Silicon Bronze seams and removing surface irregularities left after the laser brazing operation. The open-web construction resists loading from metal swarf, extending effective service life in continuous production use. It is sold individually and is intended for use on powered right-angle or straight finishing tools compatible with 3-inch unitized wheels.
