Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheels feature a soft, conformable consistency that effectively smooths, deburrs and finishes the edges of metal alloys, as well as many plastics and composites. There are a variety of densities and grades starting from a very soft 2 density for applications requiring conformability to a hard, aggressive 8 density for maximum cut and durability.
- Wheel edge can be dressed for effective deburring, finishing and polishing of all metal alloys and many plastics and composites
- Tough, layered, unitized construction can operate clockwise or counterclockwise directions
- Conformability allows abrasive to stay in contact with complex-shaped parts in robotic processing
- Densities and grades ranging from soft and conformable to hard and aggressive offer utility for a wide variety of applications
- Resists smearing for cleaner surfaces and less preparation
- Minimizes heat build-up to lessen impact on heat-sensitive materials

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What kind of surface finish does the 3M Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel produce?
The 3M Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel, 1-1/2 in x 3/16 in x 1/8 in 3S FIN, produces a final finish of approximately #4.
-
Can this wheel be used on stainless steel?
Yes! This wheel is excellent for deburring and finishing on all types of metal surfaces, including stainless steel.
-
How long do these wheels typically last?
They are very durable and have a long life. However, their lifespan will vary depending on the type of material you're working with and how much pressure you apply. Overall, they tend to last longer than conventional abrasives.
-
What does "unitized" mean when referring to this wheel?
A:"Unitized" refers to the construction process where multiple layers of abrasive material are compressed into one solid unit under high pressure. As a result, the wheel has increased density which gives it more durability compared to other types of abrasive wheels.
-
Q: Are there any special instructions I should follow when using this wheel for deburring or finishing?
We recommend using light pressure while applying consistent grinding motions across your workpiece for best results. It's also important to choose the right size grit based on your desired final finish, as well as wearing protective gear like eye wear and gloves during use.
Consistent Performance on a Variety of Substrates
The Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel is a high-performance abrasive that provides a clean edge without smearing, reducing the need for additional clean up and preparation. This wheel is designed for optimal performance on a die grinder, minimizing heat buildup during operation, making it ideal for use on heat-sensitive materials.
The EXL Unitized Wheel is filled with abrasive minerals that quickly smooth edges of metal, plastic, and composites. It is available in fine, medium, coarse, and extra coarse grades with aluminum oxide, and very fine and fine grades with silicon carbide.
Ideal for Robotic Deburring
Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel is an excellent option for robotic deburring, with a wide range of conformability options and high consistency. It quickly removes burrs and sharp edges in end-of-arm tooling operations, delivering consistent performance through the full life of the abrasive.
Scotch-Brite™ offers unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into nonwoven nylon fibers. Combining abrasives with the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results over the life of the product. The open-web material is load-resistant and keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the nylon fibers.
