3M 7100132612 Scotch-brite Exl Pro Unitized Abrasive Wheel 3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100132612 is a Scotch-Brite EXL PRO EX-UW unitized nonwoven abrasive wheel built for laser braze finishing on silicon bronze. The open web, layered construction controls heat buildup and resists loading, allowing the wheel to deliver a clean, smear-free surface with minimal secondary cleanup. At 3 inches in diameter and weighing 1.582 pounds, this wheel is sized for bench grinder and right-angle tool applications where consistent finish quality on heat-sensitive base materials is the priority. It is suitable for use by fabricators, welders, and finishing technicians working with silicon bronze laser braze joints.

This wheel is engineered specifically for blending and finishing silicon bronze parts produced through laser brazing processes. Its unitized construction means the abrasive mineral, fiber, and binder are integrated throughout the wheel body, not just on the surface, providing consistent cut and finish characteristics through the full service life of the wheel. The wheel can run in clockwise or counterclockwise directions, adding flexibility to different tool setups and operator configurations in production or job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Nonwoven open web construction resists loading and extends effective service life
• Minimizes heat buildup to protect heat-sensitive materials during finishing
• Resists smearing for cleaner surfaces and reduced prep time between operations
• Bidirectional operation — runs clockwise or counterclockwise
• Layered unitized body delivers consistent finish characteristics throughout full wheel life
• Designed for laser braze finishing on silicon bronze

Compatibility

Designed for laser braze finishing applications on silicon bronze. Suitable for use on bench grinders and right-angle tools accepting 3-inch unitized abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation should follow the tool manufacturer's rated RPM specifications for the spindle and arbor being used — never exceed the wheel's maximum rated speed. Power down and disconnect the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel showing cracks, tears, or uneven wear. Appropriate eye protection and a face shield should be worn during operation.
