3M 7100159574 Convolute Deburring Wheel 12 in 5 in Arbor

Product Description

The 3M 7100159574 is a convolute-constructed deburring and finishing wheel designed for mid-range aggressiveness and hardness. Built on the Scotch-Brite EX2 platform, it handles deburring, edge radiusing, blending, polishing, and surface finishing in a single tool. The wheel measures 12 inches in diameter and weighs 4.1 pounds, making it a substantial bench- or machine-mount abrasive suited for production and fabrication environments. Metalworking shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and operators. The wheel performs best when presented consistently with sharp edges or metal burrs.

This wheel is used across a wide range of surface finishing applications on metal alloys, many plastics, and composite materials. It fits stationary deburring machines and bench grinders configured for convolute wheel use with a 5 inch arbor. Typical scenarios include production deburring of machined parts, edge radiusing of stamped components, and final blending or polishing passes before inspection or coating. The wheel can operate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, supporting flexible machine setups in fabrication and metalworking operations.

Key Features

• Convolute layered construction delivers consistent mid-range aggressiveness throughout wheel life
• Operates clockwise or counterclockwise for versatile machine compatibility
• Wheel edge can be dressed to restore cutting action for deburring, finishing, and polishing
• Resists smearing for cleaner surfaces and reduced prep between operations
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive base materials
• Suitable for use on metal alloys, plastics, and composites

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary deburring machines and bench grinders accepting a 5 inch arbor and a 12 inch diameter convolute abrasive wheel. Suitable for use on metal alloys, many plastics, and composite materials.

Installation Notes

Mounting should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's arbor and guard specifications. Power down and lock out the machine before installing or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine's rated speed meets or exceeds the wheel's rated RPM before operation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when dressing the wheel edge or operating the machine.
