3M Scotch-Brite Deburring Wheels - Philip1231 - 03-07-2018 I believe someone on this forum not too long ago was singing the praises of 3M Scotch-Brite deburring wheels for cleaning/polishing metal. I bought one to use in a rehab. of an old Delta drill press. It is pretty amazing what these wheels can do. Here is pic of wheel: And here is one of the first parts I tackled: the so-called Delta retirement light. It started out as a very dull grey. After about 10 minutes in front of the old Craftsman grinder, here is what it looks like: It looks pretty good, but there are nooks and crannies where the wheel can't reach: I am wondering how to deal with areas like this. Do I go for a much softer 6" wheel or do I get something like these 1-1/2" wheels (below), and if so, are these intended to be used on, for example, a Dremel?

I think those wheels are too big for a Dremel, may fit a cutoff tool. ( 3/16" arbor hole.) Roly RE: 3M Scotch-Brite Deburring Wheels - photobug - 03-08-2018 Pneumatic angle grinder with 2-3" 3M wheels. I used these in the past for removing corrosion on aircraft. They are powerful combination of tools for fine crannys on metal. THis is just one version of these wheels. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Roloc-Gasket-Removal-Disc-Pad-Assembly/?N=5002385+8716717+8718579+3293083757&rt=rud RE: 3M Scotch-Brite Deburring Wheels - Timberwolf - 03-09-2018 (03-07-2018, 05:43 PM)Philip1231 Wrote: I believe someone on this forum not too long ago was singing the praises of 3M Scotch-Brite deburring wheels for cleaning/polishing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I posted over a month ago that I had received three of this brand of deburring wheels from Amazon..since then I have had a chance to test them out and find that they are the equal of the 3M wheels that I also have. They are a little "softer" and conform to the shape of the object a little easier..They also wear a little faster but they are so much cheaper than the "high-dollar" wheels that to me they are a better bargain, especially in the eight inch diameter, two inch wide version. For sharpening I also have three of the Uxcel diamond laps..The ones I have are 8" diameter and the plate is steel with a heavy concentration of diamond. I don't think you can beat these for the money..They have exceeded my expectations..Excellent for hard steel and carbide. I have one running at 220RPM and another at 760 on my Veritas MK II horizontal machine.

Does a great job, just have to be careful as it will remove metal. I didn't realize they made those smaller ones that are posted. I'll have to look into that. I do have the small ones that have the velcro type back, and use those on a 90 air die grinder. |
