3M 7100181862 Scotch-brite 8 Inch Light Deburring Wheel

Product Description

The 3M 7100181862 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven abrasive deburring wheel from the Scotch-Brite LD-WL line. Built with silicon carbide mineral and a soft construction, this wheel delivers light deburring, polishing, and surface finishing in a single tool. The non-woven web runs cool, which reduces heat transfer to the workpiece and makes it suitable for heat-sensitive materials. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter and ships as a single unit. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians use it where controlled material removal and a polished end result are both required.

This wheel suits light deburring and surface finishing applications across a wide range of materials including metals, composites, and glass. It is typically mounted on a bench grinder or finishing arbor in a shop or production environment. The soft construction conforms to contoured surfaces, keeping fresh abrasive mineral exposed throughout the wheel's service life. The resin system is formulated to minimize smearing, which reduces prep and cleanup time between operations. It is sold and priced per each unit.

Key Features

• Convolute construction with soft density for reduced operator effort compared to harder wheels
• Silicon carbide mineral removes fine burrs while leaving a polished surface finish
• Non-woven web dissipates heat, protecting heat-sensitive workpiece materials
• Conformable structure keeps fresh abrasive continuously exposed for consistent cut rate
• Low-smear resin system minimizes post-operation cleanup and prep time
• Multi-purpose capability: deburrs, blends, cleans, polishes, and finishes in one wheel

Compatibility

Designed for use on metals, composites, and glass surfaces requiring light deburring and polishing; typically mounted on standard bench grinders or finishing arbors that accept convolute wheel configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool operator following the equipment manufacturer's arbor speed and mounting guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not exceed the rated maximum operating speed for the wheel. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation.
