3M 18040, Scotch-Brite EX2 Deburring Wheel, X2-WL, 9S Fine, 6 in x 1 in x 1 in, 7000046077

Our high performance combination of mineral (aggressiveness) and density (hardness) make the Scotch-Brite EX2 wheel uniquely suited to applications where a moderate degree of conformability, wheel hardness, and edge retention are needed. A unique resin system helps minimize smearing and reduces heat build-up. The EX2 Deburring Wheel runs cool and resists loading due to its open-web construction. We did this to reduce the risk of part discoloration and warping, while extending the life of the wheel. The EX2 Deburring Wheel is available in fine and medium grade abrasives.

Our Scotch-Brite EX2 Deburring Wheel is available with silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive mineral. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep and finishing. Aluminum oxide is a hard, blocky mineral that provides high cut-rate and long life. While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a finer finish.

Scotch-Brite industrial abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven nylon or synthetic fibers. Combining abrasives with the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. We chose an open-web material that runs cool and is load resistant, which keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.
