3M 7000046041 Convolute Deburring Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046041 is a convolute-constructed deburring wheel designed for aggressive edge conditioning and burr removal on metal workpieces. Built with a hard, durable non-woven web construction, it is engineered to perform consistently when presented with sharp edges or metal burrs. A specialized resin system limits smearing and reduces heat buildup during operation, helping to protect heat-sensitive base materials. At 12.5 inches in diameter and 1.69 inches wide, this wheel suits production deburring applications where edge retention and long service life are required. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking professionals are the primary installers and operators.

This deburring wheel is used in metalworking and fabrication environments where consistent edge conditioning is critical. It is suited for deburring steel, aluminum, and similar metals after cutting, stamping, or machining operations. The convolute construction keeps the wheel balanced and running smoothly throughout its service life, making it appropriate for both short-run and continuous production use. Typical applications include chamfering, edge blending, and burr removal on flat or contoured metal parts in light manufacturing and job shop settings.

Key Features

• Convolute construction delivers a balanced, smooth-running wheel from first use through full product life
• Highest edge retention in the Scotch-Brite Deburring Wheel line for aggressive burr removal
• Non-woven web runs cool and reduces thermal impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Unique resin system resists smearing, cutting down on clean-up and prep time between operations
• Hard, durable build suited for applications requiring consistent edge presentation and long wheel life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use convolute deburring wheel for bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and automated deburring equipment accepting 12-inch diameter mounted abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of grinding and deburring wheels should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with ANSI B11 safety standards and the equipment manufacturer guidelines. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing wheels. Do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel or the arbor speed of the machine.
