3M 7000046044 Deburring Wheel 8x1x3 in 8A Medium

Product Description

The 3M 7000046044 is a convolutely wound deburring wheel built for aggressive edge deburring on metal workpieces. The wheel uses a medium-grade aluminum oxide abrasive mineral bonded into a hard, density-8 structure that delivers consistent cut and long service life. At 8 inches in diameter, 1 inch wide, and sized for a 3-inch arbor, it fits standard bench grinder and pedestal grinder setups commonly used in fabrication and maintenance shops. Weighing 1.59 pounds, the wheel is durable enough for sustained production use while remaining manageable for single-operator setup. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance trades all rely on this style of wheel for deburring drilled holes, cut edges, and machined surfaces.

This wheel is suited for aggressive deburring applications in metal fabrication, pipe preparation, and general industrial maintenance environments. It performs on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where edge finishing and burr removal are required before assembly or threading. The convolutely wound construction provides a consistent abrasive surface throughout the wheel's life, making it a practical choice for production-rate deburring rather than light touch-up work. It is sold individually and is intended for shop use on powered grinding equipment.

Key Features

• Medium-grade aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive material removal on metal edges
• Density-8 hard structure provides long wheel life under sustained use
• Convolutely wound on a core for consistent abrasive exposure as the wheel wears
• 8-inch diameter x 1-inch wide x 3-inch arbor bore fits standard bench and pedestal grinders
• Weighs 1.59 pounds — suitable for production deburring applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting a 3-inch arbor bore, typical in metal fabrication and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Mounting and dressing of abrasive wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel. Appropriate eye protection and guarding are required during operation.
