Product Description

Scotch-Brite™ Rapid Cut Wheel TechnologyScotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Products

Introduction

The combination of Scotch-Brite and unique to 3M Precision Shaped Grain have advanced performance benefits to customers removing light welds or undertaking heavy deburring applications with greater cut rates and longer life.

The precision shaped gain is orientated such that sharp cutting edges are presented to the work piece. As it wears, the grain continuously fractures presenting further sharp cutting edges. The result, a faster, cooler cutting action, coupled with Scotch-Brite unitised technology means that Scotch-Brite Rapid Cut Wheels offer operators a unique product for their heavy deburring and metalworking weld blending needs.

Scotch-Brite Rapid Cut Wheel products are everything that you love about Scotch-Brite now enabled to do so much more because of 3M Precision Shaped Grain Technology.

Conventional Unitised Technology Scotch-Brite™ Rapid Cut Wheel Technology

Scotch-Brite Unitised products provide consistent and measurable results for deburring and general light weld blending using a variety of fixed and portable machinery. The durable construction provides fast and economical surface conditioning with longer life, greater cut, consistent surface finish throughout the life of the product and a better return on your investment.

Made from layers of Scotch-Brite web interspersed with resin and then cured under pressure to form a slab which are then cut into wheels or blocks.

As the material is pressed forming the Unitised construction, the Precision Shaped Grain mineral is forced to lie flat pointing outwards. This gives the product a unique advantage that it will work better on the edge than on its face.

Scotch-Brite Non-Woven Web binds together synthetic fibres and abrasive particles to create a conformable, three-dimensional material. Its open structure reduces the risk of warping or discolouring the part, and resists loading to help improve finish and

prolong product life. The web is engineered to continually expose fresh abrasive to the work surface, producing a consistent, superior finish whilst reducing the likelihood of over-working the part and disturbing critical tolerances.

Scotch-Brite™ Cleaning and Finishing Products Glossary

Scotch-Brite™ Cleaning and Finishing Products Operating HintsGetting the most out of Scotch-Brite WheelsMaximum wheel life and best surface conditioning results can be achieved by closely adhering to the following recommendations.

Wheel Direction

Convolute wheels must always be run in the direction indicated by the arrow printed on the side/core of each wheel. Flap wheels, lap mops and unitised wheels can be run in either direction.

Wheel SpeedWheel speed is an important factor that affects product finish, rate of cut and wheel life. In fact, over-speeding a wheel may result in its disintegration and the possibility of personal injury.

In general, fast wheel speeds give a harder action and finer finish, whereas slower speed gives a softer action and coarser finish for the same wheel density. The following are recommended operating speeds for the most common applications:

Cleaning and upgrading of surface conditions: 11 to 30m/sec

buffing metal surfaces: 33 to 40m/sec

deburring: 28 to 40m/sec

imparting decorative finishes: 5 to 15m/sec

oxide removal: 18 to 33m/sec

Testing may show that a slower or faster speed is desirable for specific operations.

Never exceed the maximum r.p.m. rating of the wheel.

To establish the peripheral operating speed of a wheel multiply the machine rotational speed by pi diameter and divide by 60.

r.p.m. x 3.142D (in metres)

Peripheral Operating Speed

=

r.p.m. x 3.142d (in metres)

60

e.g. For a 200mm convolute cleaning/finishing wheel fitted to a spindle operating at 2,000 r.p.m.

Peripheral Operating Speed

=

2000 x (3.142 x 0.2)

60

2000 x 0.62

60

=

20.95 m/sec

PressureLight to medium pressure is recommended for most operations. Flap wheels require much lighter pressure to perform properly than other Scotch-Brite wheels, whereas unitised wheels can withstand higher pressure in order to perform deburring jobs. In all cases, avoid excessive pressure which may result in wheel deformation and damage to the work surface.

Fast SpeedFeed speeds directly affect the number of pieces completed over a given period of time. Slow feed speed reduces the number of workpieces completed, while producing a shorter scratch pattern. Slow feed speeds allow for a longer dwell time and permit more work to be done on each piece. Conversely, a fast feed speed increases the number of workpieces completed, while producing a longer scratch pattern.

OscillationOscillation may be used to break-up scratch lines and produce a more uniform finish. Additionally, an increase in cut may be experienced. A general starting point for oscillation is 10mm amplitude at 200 cycles per minute.

LubricantsLubricants, such as water, water soluble oil, and straight oil, will decrease the heat generated while running, improving both the lustre and surface finish.

Safety RecommendationsSafety RecommendationsReproduced from FEPA Safety Recommendations for the Use of Abrasive Products (Issue 1 January 2005) © FEPA - Federation of European Producers of Abrasives.

General Principles of SafetyAbrasive products improperly used can be very dangerous.

• Always follow the instructions provided by the abrasive product and machine suppliers.

• Ensure that the abrasive product is suitable for its intended use. Examine all abrasive products for damage or defects before mounting.

• Follow the correct procedures for handling and storage of abrasive products.

Be aware of the hazards likely during the use of abrasive products and observe the recommended precautions to be taken:

• Bodily contact with the abrasive product at operating speed.

• Injury resulting from product breakage during use.

• Grinding debris, sparks, fumes, and dust generated by the grinding process.

• Noise.

• Vibration.

Use only abrasive products conforming to the highest standards of safety. These products will bear the relevant EN standard number and/or the inscription “oSa”.

• EN12413 for Bonded Abrasives

• EN13236 for Superabrasives

• EN13743 for Specific Coated Abrasives (vulcanised fibre discs, flap wheels, flap discs and spindle-mounted flap wheels).

Never use a machine that is not in good working order or one with defective parts

Employers should carry out risk assessment on all individual abrasive processes to determine the appropriate protective measures necessary. They should ensure that their employees are suitably trained to carry out their duties.

Precautions Against Likely HazardsBodily contact with the abrasive product:

• Always take great care and attention when using abrasive products. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing, ties and jewellery.

• Prevent accidental start-up of the machine before mounting or changing an abrasive product. Isolate machines from their power source where necessary.

• Never remove guards from machines where fitted and ensure they are in good condition and properly adjusted before starting the machine.

• Always use gloves and suitable clothing where the workpiece or machine is hand-held. For gloves, a minimum protection level of EN 388 Category 2 is recommended.

• After switching off the machine, ensure the product has come to rest before leaving the machine unattended.

Injury caused by product breakage:

• Always handle abrasives with great care, they are easily damaged. Examine all products for defects or damage before use.

• Store abrasives in dry, frost-free conditions avoiding wide variations in temperature. Ensure they are properly protected and supported to prevent damage and distortion.

• Coated abrasives should be stored at 18-22ºC, 45-65% relative humidity.

• Abrasive belts should be hung on a rod or peg not less that 50mm diameter.

• Never use an abrasive product beyond its expiry date where marked. Observe the recommended shelf life for the following specific products: Resinoid and Shellac products 3 years; rubber products 5 years; vitrified products 10 years.

• Check abrasive product or package for any warnings or other safety information.

• Ensure that the correct abrasive product is selected. Never use a product if it cannot be properly identified.

• Follow the instructions provided by the abrasive product or machine supplier when mounting abrasive products. Observe any mounting indications marked on the product, such as direction of run or mounting position.

• Never force the abrasive product onto the mounting fixture or modify it to fit.

• Never exceed the maximum operating speed where specified.

• Check that the correct mounting devices are used and that they are undistorted, clean and free from burrs.

• Use mounting blotters where supplied.

• Do not tighten the mounting device excessively.

• After mounting or remounting an abrasive product, conduct a trial run at operating speed with the guard in place for at least 30 seconds, standing clear of the machine before use.

• Never remove guards from machines where fitted and ensure they are in good condition and properly adjusted.

• Ensure that the workpiece is secure and properly supported. Ensure that work rests are properly adjusted and secure.

• Never start the machine with the workpiece in contact with the abrasive product.

• Never apply excess force or shock to the abrasive product or let it overheat.

• Do not grind on the part of the product that is not designed for the operation. Avoid grinding with the edge of abrasive belts; use the centre of the belt if possible.

• Avoid clogging and uneven wear to ensure that the abrasive product is working efficiently. Dress frequently where appropriate.

• Let the abrasive product stop naturally, not by applying pressure to its surface.

• Turn off and spin out excess coolant before stopping the machine.

• Do not leave abrasive belts under tension when not in use.

Grinding debris – sparks, dust and fumes: • Exposure to grinding debris can cause

lung damage and other physical injuries.

• All dry grinding processes should be provided with adequate extraction facilities.

• Do not use abrasive products near flammable materials.

• The use of respirators complying with EN 149 is recommended for dry grinding processes even if extraction systems are provided.

• Guards, where provided, should be adjusted to deflect sparks and debris away from the operator. Take additional measures to protect people working nearby.

• Eye protection is recommended for all machine applications for abrasives. For hand-held machines or workpieces, goggles or full-face shields with a minimum protection level of EN 166 Grade B are recommended.

• Ensure that the correct abrasive product is selected. An unsuitable product can produce excessive debris and dust.
