3M 7000000694 Deburring Wheel 3 in Aluminum Oxide Density 8

Product Description

The 3M 7000000694 is an aluminum oxide unitized deburring wheel designed for aggressive material removal and surface conditioning on metal workpieces. Built to a density of 8 with a hard density grade and medium grit classification, this wheel delivers consistent cutting action across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It measures 3 inches in diameter with a 1/2-inch face width and a 3/8-inch center hole, and it is rated to a maximum operating speed of 15,100 RPM. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and fabrication professionals use this wheel for deburring edges, blending welds, and smoothing machined surfaces.

This unitized wheel is suited for use in both production and maintenance grinding applications across light manufacturing and metal fabrication environments. The aluminum oxide abrasive construction makes it appropriate for general-purpose work on steel, stainless steel, and similar materials. Compatible tooling includes centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands, making it a versatile option for shops that run multiple machine types.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive construction for reliable performance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Density 8 hard-grade unitized wheel for consistent, controlled material removal
• Medium grit grade balances cut rate with surface finish quality
• 3/8-inch center hole fits standard arbors on die grinders and backstand equipment
• Rated to 15,100 RPM for compatibility with high-speed rotary tooling
• Specification code 8AMED identifies density, grade, and abrasive type for reorder accuracy

Compatibility

Compatible with centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands as stated by the manufacturer. The 3/8-inch center hole and 3-inch diameter suit standard arbor configurations on these machine types.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or grinding technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Before mounting, verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 15,100 RPM maximum rating of this wheel. Power down and lock out the machine before changing wheels, and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
