3M 7000046046 Scotch-brite Deburring Wheel 8 Inch Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7000046046 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven abrasive deburring wheel designed for light deburring, polishing, and surface finishing on metals, composites, and glass. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter and is rated for fine grit work. Its soft convolute construction runs cool during operation, reducing heat transfer to workpieces. The non-woven web continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral, maintaining consistent cut and finish throughout the wheel's life. Weighing approximately 0.97 pounds, it is suited for bench grinder or arbor-mounted applications in fabrication, metalworking, and maintenance environments.

This wheel is used in light industrial and fabrication settings where removing fine burrs without degrading surface finish is critical. It is appropriate for finishing stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, composites, and glass surfaces. Typical applications include blending weld seams, removing machining burrs, polishing tube ends, and preparing surfaces prior to coating or inspection. The soft construction requires less operator effort compared to harder wheel constructions, reducing fatigue during extended use.

Key Features

• Convolute construction continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral for consistent cut rate
• Non-woven web runs cool, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Soft construction reduces operator effort versus harder wheel alternatives
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, cutting prep and cleanup time
• Multi-purpose: deburrs, cleans, blends, finishes, and polishes in a single wheel
• Compatible with metals, composites, and glass surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use convolute deburring wheel for bench grinders and arbor-mounted finishing equipment accepting 8-inch diameter non-woven abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified operators familiar with bench grinder or arbor-mount safety procedures. Ensure the grinder or arbor is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify the machine's maximum RPM rating is compatible with the wheel before operation. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting and use.
