3M 7000045846 Scotch-brite Unitized Wheel 1 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000045846 is a Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Unitized Wheel designed for aggressive deburring, blending, and finishing on harder metals. Its tightly layered, non-woven construction delivers controlled abrasive action without undercutting or gouging the workpiece. The aluminum oxide mineral load is concentrated for fast cutting and produces a consistent, bright finish throughout the wheel's full service life. At 1 inch in diameter with a 3/16 inch arbor, this wheel is well suited to handheld and right-angle tool applications where small diameter access is required. Machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing technicians are the primary users.

This wheel is built for work on stainless steel, carbon steel, and high-nickel alloys in both shop and field environments. Its compact 1 inch diameter makes it practical for tight clearances and narrow workpieces where larger wheels cannot reach. The unitized construction allows operation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, adding flexibility when mounted on pneumatic or electric rotary tools. It serves as an effective starting point for jobs requiring controlled surface conditioning on harder base metals where portability matters.

Key Features

• Tightly layered unitized construction operates in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation
• High concentration of aluminum oxide abrasive mineral for fast, consistent cutting action
• Non-woven flexible construction helps prevent undercutting or gouging on finished surfaces
• Resists loading and wears at a uniform rate for continuous cutting throughout wheel life
• Small 1 inch diameter suits tight-clearance and narrow-width applications
• Suitable for deburring, blending, and finishing on stainless steel, carbon steel, and high-nickel alloys

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and right-angle grinders fitted with a 3/16 inch arbor compatible with 1 inch diameter unitized wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by qualified machinists or metal fabrication technicians familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and disconnect the rotary tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the tool's rated RPM does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the abrasive wheel before operation. Follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards during mounting and use.
