De-Buring Wheel- You need this.

[scratchedup]

I just bought this and hooked it up. It is stunning. If you have a shop you need this!

 

[-Brent-]

Yep, good stuff.

Do they make a 10" version with a 1" arbor? All I can find are wheels with a 5" arbor.

Why would you want a 1" arbor on a 10" wheel? That's all wasted material. Just use a bushing.

 

[Zeke]

I don't think I paid that much for mine.

 

[RivennHewn]

I prefer Cratex wheels

 

[lauver]

$70 for a 6" wheel seems kinda pricy...

Am I the only one who thinks so?

I have never bought one before so I know nothing about DB wheels.

Not at the 200% mark up price

I've got one on the little grinder at work. Love that thing! Yea they are a little pricey but at $90 an hour shop rate, it's cheap compared to handing a guy a file. Keith

They are awesome, but don't last very long. I buy them ahead out of the enco sales flyer when they send out some additional discount code. I use the 8" wheels and just whipped up a aluminium hub for them to run on the grinder.

I've used these to remove mill scale before welding forever

At some point what is your time worth.....

Before I buy an expensive tool I wait and research for years to make sure its going to help me and save time.

I mounted this on a cheapie bench grinder...it was cheap and a mistake.

Cheap tools are IMO are always a bad idea.

I don't remember that I had paid that much either, looks like they have gone up since the last time I bought one...

I agree . sure its nice but what's so special with this thing????

 

[ZRX61]

Overall they are cheap, first one lasted 12 years...

 

[tarbellb]

Whats the difference? Is it a softer, malleable material?
Like a spinning Scotchbrite pad?

That's exactly what it is. Dense scotch brite on a mandrel. They are available in multiple levels just like scotch brite.

I actually have this same question. My purchase was based on a friend of mine who is a picky machinist.

IMO its less abrasive then Scotch Bright.

What I do know is it was well worth it and it saves lots of time.

Can you tell what "level" one is by the color like you can with the pads?

I picked up a couple of these at a garage sale recently. That's a 1/4" shaft and the pic shows the color accurately. What types of situation would these be good for?

Also, what sort of tool at these typically used on? I assumed a die grinder but on the back it says do not exceed 3500 rpm. I assume die grinders are much faster than that.

That's not the same thing. What you have is made to go on a drill and strip paint.

Yep.

No- it's a lot more complicated than that, because 3M makes about a zillion different types for a large range of applications.

The ones I use most often I use almost exclusively for removing mill scale before welding tube frames and roll cages- the Scotch Brite 'Clean and Strip' wheel.

Those deburring wheels sting a bit when you slip & stuff a knuckle into them...

Not as bad as a wire wheel though...

 

[ShawnT]

I have been using these for several years and they have been one of the best additions I've made. Sometimes it's the little things.

Nope. Only reason I haven't bought one... I hear they last quite a while, but still...

 

[Exceller8]

I would be totally lost without my scotchbrite wheels. I have a soft (well worn) one that I use to clean up tools. I have a harder wheel that I use for removing material that a standard grinding wheel might be too harsh for.

Another thing that the scotchbrite wheels do really well is put a polished edge on a piece of cut steel. I haven't found anything yet that does a better job.

They really are awesome and worth it. Here is mine:

Thanks for the link! Is the "Extra Wheel Adaptor" for running these wheels on a 5/8" arbor?

 

[HAP]

There are lots of different types for different materials and finishes...

 

[95riosnake]

Well, order placed... can't wait to give these a try
