Scotch-Brite™ SF Finishing & Deburring Wheel for Cast & Forged Parts

3M has brought together two technologies to create a wheel

that provides a great finish without smearing, but will still stand
up to metal burrs. Scotch-Brite™ SF Wheel is a finishing wheel
at heart, with a soft feel and a resistance to smearing. But as a
convolute wheel with high density, it cuts fast and has a long
wheel life, even in the presence of metal burrs.
Scotch-Brite™ SF Wheel works great on stainless and mild
tool steel. In some applications, SF wheel can tackle three
surface finishing elements — combining deburring, blending
and finishing into one operation.

17
 The best reasons for using 3M are the oldest reasons.
For years, grinding wheels and bonded abrasive stones, abrasive sheets—even slurries— have constituted the usual means
for resurfacing, dimensioning and polishing rolls and cylindrical parts. These traditional methods of roll finishing are typically
slow and leave room for operator error. Fortunately, 3M film-backed and flexible diamond abrasives offer fast, easy-to-use
predictable alternatives.

More cost-effective ways to obtain uniform roll finishes with 3M.

3M film-backed and flexible diamond abrasives provide predictable, consistent and repeatable performances every time for
your roll finishing operations. These film-backed and flexible diamond abrasives enable you to quickly remove traverse
marks and feed lines, eliminate chatter, follow existing geometry (including crowns) and consistently obtain sub-1 micro
inch Ra (.025 microns) or finer finishes on chrome, compressed paper, nylon, chilled iron, rotogravure, epoxy and
polyurethane rolls and other non-roll surfaces.

Film F weight paper J weight cotton cloth

Compared to conventional cloth and paper backings, film is a far

more consistent substrate for the precise application of resins and
micron-graded mineral. Film backings hold abrasive particles on
top of the substrate, do not compress or lose particles in the
backing.

Oscillating abrasive across an existing straight line scratch rapidly

reduces the existing peaks and valleys. Different oscillation
frequencies create different scratch patterns and allows the
operator to see when previous scratches have been removed and
the finishing step is completed.
18
 Controlled pressures, belt tension and workpiece rotational speeds
result in consistent stock removal and dimensional accuracy to
prepare a uniform surface for further polishing.
Roll Grinding
Roll grinding is typically the first step in the system. 3M™
Flexible Diamond belts are introduced to a rotating
cylindrical workpiece. The flexible diamond abrasive
quickly dimensions parts by removing lobes and leaving
the workpiece surface ready for further superfinishing.
Flexible diamond abrasive belts enable you to match
tighter tolerances for diameter, roundness, profile flatness
and bearing ratio.
Microfinishing enables you to correct geometry and obtain fine
finishes (as low as 1 to 2 micro inches or 0.025 to 0.05 £gm Ra).
Microfinishing
Usually, a microfinishing process employs rigid shoes
instead of a contact roller or platen to support the abrasive
film. The workpiece, such as a crankshaft or camshaft, is
turned and oscillated between centers as shoes introduce
the abrasive to the work interface. Fresh abrasive is
incrementally indexed after each part is processed,
resulting in uniform stock removal and finish, part after
part. Microfinishing removes the damaged or amorphous
layers to improve the surface finish and roundness of the
part and, in many cases, can eliminate the need for an
entire grinding operation.
The combination of continuously fed 3M film-backed abrasives and
the rotation of the workpiece give you the capability to create uniform,
consistently even finishes down to sub-1 micro inch Ra.
Superfinishing
Superfinishing is an extremely versatile way to produce
predictable, repeatable finishes on rolls used for a variety
of industrial tasks. The ability to generate consistently
uniform finishes enables operators to extend roll life by
eliminating the damage caused by traditional roll grinding
methods.
Superfinishing with 3M film-backed abrasives also allows
operators to choose a variety of surface textures from
linear scratch to cross-hatching.
Centerless microfinishing plunges the workpiece into the abrasive to
remove stock or provide a polished finish.
Centerless Microfinishing
Centerless Microfinishing is ideal for cylindrical parts that
are not effectively processed in lathes or between centers.
The process utilizes the consistent, uniform film backing
and micron graded minerals of 3M microfinishing
abrasives to eliminate lead lines and traverse patterns
while letting you control cycle time, oscillation frequency,
abrasive advance and workpiece rotational speeds. Rolls
of abrasive are easily changed in minutes to produce
sequentially finer finishes.
19
 If you want a super finish, start with 3MTM Superabrasives and Microfinishing films.
Compared to conventional cloth and paper backings, film backings provide a superior, uniform surface to coat with micron
graded minerals. The uniform application of abrasive mineral with a unique resin bond creates the ability to provide a more
consistent, repeatable finish.

3M™ Flexible Diamond Belts 3M™ Microfinishing Film

3M™ Flexible Diamond Belts allow you to
achieve better finishes without sacrificing cut
rates on hard to grind roll materials. A metal
bond securely anchors micron graded
diamonds to our premium, flexible backing. It
offers durability and longer life while allowing
conformance to a variety of contours. The
open dot pattern produces aggressive cutting
action and reduces grinding loads. Especially

3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives

Trizact™ abrasives deliver results.

Cut Rate (grams/min)

Trizact™ abrasive belts last up to five times longer than Trizact™ Abrasive
conventional belts, making them very cost effective.
Test results verify that:
• Trizact™ abrasive belts last 2-5 times longer than
conventional belts Conventional Abrasive
• Operators can reduce grade sequences, which in turn
lowers abrasive costs Time
While its initial cut is not as high, 3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives maintain
their high rate of cut much longer in comparison to conventional
Reduced operator fatigue. abrasives on 304 Stainless Steel.
Because Trizact™ abrasives maintain a higher cut rate for
the life of the belt, they’re less tiring to use. Operator applies
even pressure throughout the life of the belt, reducing

More desirable finish.

Trizact™ abrasive belts start sharp and stay sharp, resulting
in more predictable finishes. Since Trizact™ abrasives Conventional Abrasive
deliver a better finish, you’ll see improved quality in your
parts. Time
Notice the very consistent finish of 3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives
compared to the irregular performance of conventional abrasives on
304 Stainless Steel.

3M Trizact™ Abrasives’ unique 3-D structures contain multiple layers of

abrasive which expose fresh mineral as they wear down. This delivers:
consistent, predictable finishes, high even cut rates, longer belt life and
reduced process steps.

reproduced onto a polyester film backing. As the abrasive is
used, the tops of the pyramids wear away, continually
exposing fresh sharp mineral. This ensures a consistent cut
rate through the long life of the Trizact film. For fantastic
results, try it on your next solid surface finishing job.

568XA - Cerium Oxide

Eliminate - or minimize - the need for buffing with messy

compounds. Trizact film - 568XA, is produced using 3M’s
patented microreplication technology. 568XA is used as a
final polishing step when producing a high gloss finish on
most solid surface countertop materials. (Some solid
surfaces may require buffing with 3M Finesse-it™ Finishing
Material Easy Clean-up to remove swirl marks or to generate
a gloss lovel over 80.)
