3M 7100181873 Scotch-brite Exl Deburring Wheel 10 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100181873 Scotch-Brite EXL Deburring Wheel is a convolute abrasive wheel engineered for fast, consistent deburring, finishing, and polishing on metals, composites, and glass. Measuring 10 inches in diameter with a 3-inch arbor, this wheel features a hard, dense construction that removes burrs and sharp edges without undercutting, gouging, or distorting the workpiece. The aluminum oxide abrasive and unique resin system minimize heat buildup and surface smearing, leaving a smooth, clean finish in a single pass. It is well suited for automated robotic processing as well as manual bench or pedestal grinder setups.

This deburring wheel is designed for production and fabrication environments where consistent edge finishing is required across a range of materials. Typical applications include deburring stamped or laser-cut metal parts, finishing after belt sanding operations, and polishing composite or glass components. The conformable construction keeps the abrasive in continuous contact with complex or irregular part geometries, making it effective in both high-volume automated lines and skilled-trade hand-finishing operations.

Key Features

• Hard, dense, convolute construction delivers consistent, repeatable finishing results
• Conformable design maintains abrasive contact on complex and irregular part shapes
• Effective on metals, composites, and glass — reducing the need for multiple wheel types
• Minimizes heat buildup to reduce risk of discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive materials
• Unique resin system reduces surface smearing, cutting cleanup time
• Does not undercut, gouge, or distort the workpiece surface

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and automated finishing equipment accepting a 3-inch arbor and accommodating a 10-inch diameter wheel. Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and confirm the machine speed rating does not exceed the wheel speed rating. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
