3M 7000045873 Deburring Wheel 12 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000045873 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for use with stationary machinery in metalworking and finishing applications. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grade and density 8, this wheel removes burrs, scales, and surface irregularities from metal workpieces. The 12-inch diameter and 0.5-inch face width make it suited for consistent edge and surface conditioning on larger parts. It is rated to a maximum of 3,000 RPM and is compatible with the 356 mandrel and adapter. Licensed tradespeople and production machinists are the typical installers of this wheel in shop environments.

This deburring wheel is intended for stationary machinery applications in industrial and production shop settings. It handles deburring, blending, and light surface finishing on metal components where consistent abrasive action is required. The convolute construction provides a uniform cut throughout the life of the wheel, making it a reliable choice for repetitive production runs or maintenance finishing work. Its hard density grade suits more aggressive material removal tasks compared to softer density variants.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive material provides sharp, consistent cutting action on metal surfaces
• Convolute wheel construction delivers uniform abrasive performance from outer diameter to core
• Density 8 hard grade supports more aggressive deburring and edge conditioning
• Fine grade abrasive finish for controlled material removal without excessive stock loss
• Rated to 3,000 RPM maximum for use on stationary machinery
• Compatible with mandrel and adapter designation 356

Compatibility

Compatible with stationary machinery using a 5-inch center hole arbor and mandrel or adapter designation 356. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use convolute deburring wheel for stationary industrial grinding and finishing equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 3,000 RPM maximum rating of the wheel. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the mandrel or adapter matches designation 356 and that the arbor bore fits the 5-inch center hole before securing the assembly.
