Abrasive wheel designed for deburring, finishing and polishing across metal alloys and many plastics. Clean, consistent edges reduce rework and speed up workshop jobs. Is the Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel the right choice for precision finishing and repeatable results?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Finishing Quality: Effective deburring, finishing and polishing on all metal alloys and many plastics and composites
  • Best for: Workshop technicians, fabricators and maintenance teams needing repeatable surface finishes
  • Not ideal for: Heavy stock removal or cutting tasks where aggressive material removal is primary

Layered, unitized construction handles clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. Available in a range of densities and grades to match different finishing needs.


Consistent deburring - thanks to dressable wheel edge

Wheel edge can be dressed to refresh the profile and create the precise geometry required for deburring and polishing. Dressing removes clogged material and reshapes the abrasive surface for repeatable results.

Dressed edges produce cleaner edges and more predictable finishes, reducing manual rework and trimming time.

Versatile mounting - with layered, unitized construction

Tough, layered, unitized construction permits safe operation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The layered build balances conformability and strength for a variety of contact angles.

Works in a wide range of tool setups and orientations, cutting down the need for multiple wheel types.

Adjustable aggressiveness - thanks to multiple densities and grades

Densities and grades range from soft and conformable to hard and aggressive, allowing selection of the right abrasive behaviour. Softer grades conform to contours, harder grades increase cutting action.

Choose softer wheels for delicate blends and harder grades for faster finishing, matching abrasive performance to the job.

✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheel
  1. Dressable Edge - Enables precise deburring and restores wheel profile quickly
  2. Bidirectional Construction - Suitable for clockwise or counterclockwise mounting in tools
  3. Multiple Densities and Grades - From soft conformable to hard aggressive options for tasks
  4. Minimises Heat Build-up - Reduces heat transfer, less impact on heat-sensitive materials
