The 3M SR Cutter is a plastic rotary cutting tool with an attached 1/4"-28 male threaded metal mandrel for use on slow speed right angle drills. The SR Cutter works quickly and efficiently to peel off sealants or other thick coatings with minimal to no abrasion to the underlying base material, replacing tedious scraping by hand and messy chemical solvents.
- Removes sealants and coatings cleanly with minimal or no abrasion to underlying paints, primers or metal
- Easy-to-use cutter attaches to a rotary tool to replace time-consuming hand scraping with metal scrapers that gouge the workpiece
- Cleans without chemical solvents, eliminating chemical mess and waste
- Metal mandrel fits a right angle power tool
- No. 3 cutter is for flat applications—its 0.4" diameter fits between rivets and into tight spaces
- No. 8 cutter is 1" in diameter and has an internal cavity designed to fit directly over rivets or other protrusions for thorough cleaning

-
Is the 3M™ SR Cutter No.8 difficult to use?
Not at all! It's simple to use with its spring-loaded design that automatically adjusts tension for a clean, effortless cut every time.
-
Can I be sure that this product meets safety standards and regulations?
Absolutely! The cutter has undergone rigorous testing and meets or exceeds industry safety standards such as ASTM F1872-13 Standards Specification for Polyurethane Raw Materials Used in Medical Applications.
-
Does the size of the cuts vary?
The cutter produces consistent cuts every single time you use it so you can trust that your work will look professional without any variations in size or quality between uses
The 3M™ SR Cutter is a time-saving and productivity-increasing tool designed for cleaning operations in the aerospace industry. It comes in two sizes, No. 3 for flat surfaces and No. 8 for cleaning around rivets or fasteners. The cylindrical blades work both horizontally and vertically to cut through sealants such as polysulfide, polythioether, polyurethane, RTV sealants, and silicones. The plastic blades work effectively without the operator having to pause and resharpen them. The SR Cutter works fast and helps eliminate follow-up work for repainting or repairing damaged coatings.
Cleanly Replaces Chemical SolventsThe 3M™ SR Cutter is not only a great alternative to hand scraping, but it also works without the use of messy chemical solvents. It enables operators to remove sealants and residues immediately, without having to wait for chemicals to act or spending time and effort handling and cleaning up a hazardous mess. Your only waste is the sealant itself.
Using the 3M™ SR Cutter- No. 3 Cutter: For fillet seals and flat applications, place the No. 3 SR Cutter at the head of the sealant bead so that the side of the cutter contacts the sealant. Apply firm pressure downward onto the sealant and use low rotational speed (throttle down on drill) to remove sealant from one spot without moving the drill back and forth. When the substrate is exposed, increase the rotational speed of the drill and move the tool along the strip of sealant, making sure that the cutter blades adjacent to the substrate rotate into the remaining sealant bead.
- No. 8 Cutter: For fastener heads, be sure that the inner diameter of the No. 8 SR Cutter will completely fit over the head of the fastener. Place the cutter on top of the fastener with firm pressure. Using the drill throttle, run at low speed to cut away sealant from around the fastener. Remove the sealant by "jogging" the drill in a start-stop fashion several times—this prevents unwanted frictional heat that may degrade the sealant or blunt the cutter.
