3M 7000045873 Deburring Wheel 12x1/2x5 Inches 8S Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7000045873 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for deburring and edge radiusing on metal workpieces. Convolutely wound on a core, this wheel delivers consistent abrasive action across its full face width. It features a hard 8-density construction using fine-grade silicon carbide mineral, making it well suited for controlled material removal without aggressive stock loss. Fabricators, machinists, and finishing technicians use this wheel where repeatable edge quality is required. At 1.2 pounds, it is a practical bench or pedestal grinder consumable for production and job-shop environments alike.

This deburring wheel is used in metalworking and fabrication applications where burrs, sharp edges, or irregular radii need to be cleaned up after cutting, stamping, or machining operations. The fine silicon carbide abrasive makes it appropriate for finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is commonly mounted on bench grinders or dedicated finishing machines in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance-repair-operations settings.

Key Features

• Convolutely wound construction provides consistent abrasive contact throughout the wheel life
• Hard 8-density rating for long service life and controlled cut rate
• Fine-grade silicon carbide abrasive mineral for smooth deburring and edge radiusing
• 12 inches diameter by 1/2 inches face width by 5 inches arbor bore
• Suitable for deburring ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount deburring wheel for bench grinders and finishing machines accepting a 5 inches arbor bore with a 12 inches wheel diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's mounting instructions and applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the rated maximum operating speed marked on the wheel or packaging.
