Scotch-Brite 05398 MF-WL Series Metal Finishing Wheel, 12 in Dia, Coarse Grade, 3000 rpm, Maroon

3M Scotch-Brite MF-WL convolute deburring wheel uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive material and has a diameter of 12 in. The arbor attachment allows for easy mounting to the tool or pad. In addition to the other aspects of these parts, another important component of these is the thickness. This 3M part is 1 in thick. All abrasive products that rotate or spin, such as the ones in this category, have a maximum speed at which you can run them. This 3M deburring wheel can be run at a maximum speed of 3000 RPMs.
Specification parameters description:
Abrasive Material:
Values: A/O Aluminum Oxide AO C/O Ceramic CO A/Z Alumina Zirconia AZ S/C Silicon Carbide SC Aluminum Oxide Aluminum oxide is an artificial abrasive suited for general purpose stock removal and finishing. It is the mostly commonly used abrasive and can be used for most steels and ferrous alloys. Aluminum oxide is slightly softer but tougher than silicon carbide. CBN Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a synthetic material used in superabrasive products. It is similar in hardness to diamond and is very cool cutting. CBN is used for grinding high speed steel (HSS), hardened cast iron, and stainless steel. Ceramic Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain Diamond Diamond can be either natural or manufactured and is one of the hardest abrasive materials. It is commonly used for grinding and polishing stone and very hard steels, and for sharpening other cutting tools. Garnet Silicon Carbide Silicon carbide is a manufactured material that is extremely hard but brittle. It is commonly used for fast cutting under light pressure, particularly on cast iron, nonferrous metals, and materials such as glass and plastic. Ceramic Aluminum Oxide
Density Grade:
Wheel density can be rated as soft to extra hard, with softer densities providing better conformability and hard densities suited to heavy-duty deburring, grinding, and polishing.
Density Number:
Wheel density can be rated as soft to extra hard, with softer densities providing better conformability and hard densities suited to heavy-duty deburring, grinding, and polishing. Density rating can also be given as a number from 2 to 11, with a higher number equal to harder density.
Grade:
Grade is a measurement of the size of abrasive particles embedded in coated abrasives. It is a more general measurement of the level of precision, and corresponds roughly to grit. A smaller grit number means larger particles and a coarser grade, while high number grits are used for finer work.
Maximum RPM:
The maximum rotations per minute (RPM) a product is designed to be used at should be respected for the sake of safety and use life. Maximum RPM is provided for all product listings where applicable and is often printed on the item in the case of discs and wheels. Operating a wheel above its maximum recommended speed can cause a wheel to crack or even shatter.
Wheel Construction:
Deburring wheels have either a convolute or unitized construction. A convolute wheel has an abrasive wrapped around a hard core and can only be run in one direction, while a unitized wheel is a solid molded abrasive and is non-directional. Convolute wheels are softer and better for fine finishing, while unitized wheels are best for more aggressive work. Both wheel types have a non-woven construction and are designed to be used with lubricants and coolants for automatic or semi-automatic operations.
