3M™ Scotch -Bite Exl wheels can be used in processing many types of metals to create a uniform, burr-free surface in production and maintence operations. Use of them on portable power tools, bench motors, floor lathes and automatic or semic-automatic equipment to clean, deburr, blend, finish or polish all types of metals , composites or plastics.

Wide Variety of applications:
- Deburring: Stamped parts (ferrous, non-ferrous,special metals); aircraft components;surgical instruments; alumium extrusions; machined metal components.
- Edge radiusing: Formed Wire; cutlery; aluminium extrusions; machined parts; jet blades.
- Blending and finishing: Contours; grindlines; brazed surfaces; airfoils of jet blades; compressor shafts; control panels; nameplates.
- Polishing: Gun barrels; valves spools; machined shafts; golf glub heads; other mchined parts proir to plating or other subsequent operations.
Smooth running
Smooth running provides greater operator
comfort, safety and control... especially beneficial when working with valuable parts.
Cool running
Open web construction allows air to circulate across the work surface. This helps prevent over heating that causes discoloration and warping of thin and delicate materials.
Long Life saves money
Extensive Customer tests show that EXL wheels last much longer than other non-woven products while maintaining consistent performance and uniform wheel wear. More Production parts per wheel means money saved.

- 3M ™ Scotch -Brite EXl unitized wheels are excellent for deburring and polishing all metal alloys, and many composites and plastics. They are specially designed to minimize heat buildup on the work surface.
Wide Variety of applications:
- Wide range of densities and grades for use on a variety of jobs from deburring precision threads to polishing welds. See chart at right for complete list of product availabilitty.
- Use with appropriate mounting hardware on portable tools for large work areas.
- Many applications for aerospace, automative, electronics and medical instrument manufacturers.
Cool runnning
Operators can apply more pressure to these wheels because they are less sensitives to heat buildup at the work space.
Clean and Safe
Synthetic fiber and resin construction eliminates loose flying wires
commonly associated with wire wheels. And, they are cleaner to use than buffs and compounds.
Recommnded
Starting Points:
- Weld Cleaning: 2A MediumEXL unitized to remove discoloration around the weld seam.
- Finishing Threaded Parts: 2S Fine EXL unitized to contour to shapes and fine finish surface areas.
- Turbline blade polshing: 4S fine EXl Untilized wheels to finish edges and blend tight corners.
- Metal Stampings:8A Medium EXl unitized wheels to knock off burrs and smooth edges.

Use 2 or 3 density EXl unitized wheels in place of wire brushes or abrasive filled brushes for fast, aggressivce finishing and deburring. They're comformable enough to deburr precision threads or close tolerance parts (gear teeth, surgical instruments ).
