Convolute Wheels Selection Guides
Scotch-Brite™ Convolute Wheel performance differences can be attributed to mineral (aggressiveness) and density (hardness).
The combination of these two characteristics and subtle variations determine if the wheel will cut more aggressively or will be
more durable and less conformable (See below).
