3M 7000046047 Scotch-brite Convolute Deburring Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046047 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven abrasive wheel designed for light deburring, polishing, and surface finishing on metals, composites, and glass. Built under the Scotch-Brite line, this wheel uses a soft construction that reduces operator effort compared to harder wheel formats. Its non-woven web runs cool during operation, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials. A unique resin system minimizes smearing, which cuts down on cleaning and prep time between operations. The wheel measures 12.5 inches in diameter and 1.69 inches in width, and weighs 2 pounds.

This wheel fits typical bench grinder and pedestal grinder arbor setups used in metal fabrication, manufacturing, and finishing shops. It is well suited for removing fine burrs left by machining, cutting, or stamping operations, and can transition into polishing and blending passes without a wheel change. Applications span light industrial and job shop environments where surface finish quality matters alongside deburring efficiency. It handles a wide range of workpiece materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass.

Key Features

• Convolute construction provides consistent abrasive exposure throughout wheel life
• Soft wheel construction reduces operator effort during extended finishing runs
• Non-woven web runs cool, reducing heat buildup on heat-sensitive materials
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing and reduces post-operation cleanup
• Multi-purpose use: deburrs, polishes, blends, cleans, and finishes in a single wheel
• Suitable for metals, composites, and glass surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a convolute-style light deburring and finishing wheel for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders configured for non-woven abrasive wheels of this diameter and arbor specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by qualified personnel with the grinder powered off, unplugged, and fully stopped before beginning. Verify that the machine spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum rated speed of the wheel before mounting. Follow the grinder manufacturer's instructions for flanges, arbor nuts, and guard clearance. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate a damaged or out-of-round wheel.
