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 makes the 3M Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel different from other wheels?
The Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel has a unique design made with high-strength fibers and resin that provide high stock removal and long wheel life. It also has an open-web construction to resist loading and provide consistent performance throughout its lifespan.
-
How does this particular XL-UW, 6A Medium, 4 in x 1/4 in x 3/8 in size compare to others?
This specific size of the XL-UW wheel is highly versatile and can be used for various applications such as deburring, blending, or finishing on metal surfaces. Its medium abrasive grade provides smooth finishes without leaving any scratches or marks behind.
-
Is there any special handling required when using these wheels?
To ensure optimal usage of these wheels, it's recommended to use them with a proper backing pad at appropriate speeds. For safety concerns during operation use gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing. Validate your disc securely attached before beginning work.
Consistent Performance on a Variety of Substrates
The Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel is designed to provide a clean edge without smearing, which reduces the need for additional clean up and preparation. It is optimized for use on a die grinder, minimizing heat buildup during operation, making it ideal for use on heat-sensitive materials. This 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 due to its 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.
