3M 7100188591 Scotch-brite Exl Unitized Wheel 2 in Fine Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100188591 is a Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel designed for smoothing, deburring, and finishing metal alloys, plastics, and composites. Built with a soft, conformable construction, this 2 inch diameter wheel uses silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grit rating. The layered, unitized design holds its shape through extended use and can run in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians use this wheel for edge work, surface preparation, and light material removal in both manual and robotic processing environments.

This wheel suits applications where conformability and surface quality matter more than aggressive stock removal. Fine grit silicon carbide makes it well suited for finishing softer metal alloys, plastics, and composites where surface integrity and cleanliness are priorities. It is used in fabrication shops, machine shops, and manufacturing lines for deburring after cutting or stamping and for pre-finishing before coating or plating operations.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive at fine grit for controlled, consistent finishing
• Soft, conformable construction keeps abrasive contact on complex and irregular part geometries
• Runs clockwise or counterclockwise for flexible machine setup
• Wheel edge can be dressed for targeted deburring, finishing, and polishing
• Minimizes heat buildup to protect heat-sensitive materials during finishing
• Resists smearing for cleaner finished surfaces with less additional preparation

Compatibility

Designed as a unitized abrasive wheel for use on bench grinders, die grinders, and automated finishing equipment accepting 2 inch diameter unitized wheels with appropriate arbor configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 standards. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or changing the wheel. Verify that the spindle speed rating of the machine does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or compromised wheel.
