3M 7000046024 Deburring Wheel 6 in Aluminum Oxide Density 7

Product Description

The 3M 7000046024 is a unitized deburring wheel designed for edge finishing, surface conditioning, and burr removal on metal workpieces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive at a Density 7 hard grade, it delivers consistent cutting action and long service life under repeated use. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter with a 1/2-inch face width and a 1/2-inch center hole, and it is rated to a maximum of 7,500 RPM. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and metalworking technicians on stationary and portable grinding equipment.

This wheel is suited for deburring and light stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in production and maintenance machining environments. Its unitized construction holds the abrasive mineral throughout the wheel body, allowing the wheel to continuously expose fresh abrasive as it wears. Compatible tooling includes centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands, making it adaptable across a wide range of shop setups.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or grinding equipment operator. Always power down and de-energize the grinder or sander before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the spindle speed of the equipment does not exceed the 7,500 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage prior to each use, and ensure all guards and flanges are properly secured in accordance with ANSI B11 grinding safety standards.
