3M 03897 Deburring Wheel Flange 3 Inch Min

Product Description

The 3M 03897 is a deburring wheel flange designed to mount and secure deburring wheels during operation. It serves as the mechanical interface between the spindle or arbor and the abrasive wheel, holding the wheel firmly in place during use. Compatible with deburring wheels that have a 5/8 inch hole and a minimum diameter of 3 inches, this flange provides stable, centered wheel retention. Maintenance technicians and metalworking professionals install this hardware as part of a complete deburring setup on bench grinders or similar rotary equipment. At 0.65 pounds, it is a lightweight yet functional mounting component.

This flange is suited for industrial and maintenance shop applications where deburring wheels are used to remove sharp edges, burrs, and surface imperfections from metal workpieces. It is typically installed on bench-mounted or pedestal-mounted rotary tools. The 5/8 inch hole compatibility makes it a standard fit across common deburring wheel configurations used in light manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, and general metalworking environments.
