3M 7100228318 Scotch-brite 6 Inch Deburring Wheel Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100228318 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven abrasive deburring wheel designed for light deburring, polishing, and surface finishing on metal, composite, and glass materials. Built with a soft construction, the wheel runs smoothly and requires less operator effort compared to harder wheel types. The non-woven web runs cool, which reduces heat buildup at the workpiece surface. A unique resin bonding system limits smearing, cutting down on prep and cleanup time between operations. This wheel is used by machinists, fabricators, and finishing professionals working on precision components and general metalwork.

This wheel is suited for shop environments where light deburring and surface finishing are routine tasks. It performs well on metals including steel, aluminum, and other alloys, as well as composite and glass surfaces. The convolute construction keeps fresh abrasive mineral continuously exposed during use, delivering consistent results across the full wheel life. Typical applications include edge deburring after machining, blending weld lines, and pre-inspection polishing on fabricated parts.

Key Features

• Convolute construction keeps fresh silicon carbide abrasive continuously exposed for consistent cut
• Non-woven web runs cool, reducing heat impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Soft wheel construction reduces operator fatigue compared to harder wheel grades
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing cleanup and surface prep time
• Multi-purpose performance: deburrs, cleans, blends, finishes, and polishes in a single wheel
• Compatible with metals, composites, and glass surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench-mounted or arbor-driven finishing machines compatible with a 6 inch diameter convolute deburring wheel. Suitable for metalworking, fabrication, and precision finishing applications across a range of materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance personnel following the spindle equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum rated RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate a cracked or visibly damaged wheel.
