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 is the size of 3M's Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel, and what kind of abrasiveness does it have?
The wheel measures 8 inches x 3/16 inches x 1 inch in size, with an abrasive grade of 8A MED.
-
How many unitized wheels are included in one case of this product?
There are four EXL Unitized Wheels included per case.
-
Can I use this wheel on a bench grinder or variable-speed right-angle tool?
Yes! This versatile wheel can be used for deburring, blending and cleaning on almost any flat surface using a bench grinder or variable-speed right-angle tool.
-
What kind of materials can I use this wheel to work on?
This unitized wheel works well for precision grinding applications where metal removal rates are high since they cut faster than nonwoven convolute wheels while producing lower scratch patterns. Common metals that we've tested include carbon and stainless steel as well as aluminum pieces like extrusions.
-
Is it easy to change these wheels out when they wear down from repeated use over time?
:Definitely! Most customers report changing between different grades quickly due to the scotch-brite style locking mechanism so long as devices don't become overloaded during sanding processes.
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 throughout the abrasive's life. 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.
