3M 7000046046 Deburring Wheel 8 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000046046 is a convolute deburring wheel designed to remove burrs, sharp edges, and surface scale from metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grade and density 6 soft rating, it delivers consistent cut and a uniform finish across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 8-inch diameter and 1-inch face width make it well suited for production-volume deburring on stationary and automated equipment. Maximum operating speed is 4,500 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and tool room technicians install and use this wheel in grinding and finishing operations.

This wheel fits a variety of machine configurations used in metal fabrication and finishing environments. Compatible tooling includes backstands, manual backstands, pressure assist backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, and robotics systems. The 3-inch center hole size accommodates standard arbors found on these machine types. It is appropriate for both light production runs and continuous automated deburring cycles where consistent edge condition and surface finish are required.

• 8-inch diameter with 1-inch face width and 3-inch center hole for standard arbor fitment
• Compatible with backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, and robotic systems

Compatibility

Compatible with backstands, manual backstands, pressure assist backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, and robotics systems equipped with a 3-inch arbor bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety and applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA 1910.215 standards. Always power down and isolate the machine before mounting or changing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 4,500 RPM maximum rating stamped on the wheel. Use the correct flange size and ensure the arbor bore fits the 3-inch center hole without forcing.
