3M 7000046048 Scotch-brite Deburring Wheel 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046048 is a Scotch-Brite light deburring convolute wheel designed for fine burr removal, polishing, and surface finishing on metals, composites, and glass. The convolute construction uses a non-woven web that runs cool during operation, making it well suited for heat-sensitive workpieces. At 12 inches in diameter and 2.6 inches wide, this wheel fits bench-mounted and pedestal grinder setups used in metal fabrication, manufacturing, and maintenance shops. Machinists, metalworkers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This wheel is built for light deburring, blending, finishing, and polishing applications across a range of substrates including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass. Its soft construction reduces operator effort compared to harder wheels, and the conformable non-woven web continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral for consistent results. The unique resin system minimizes smearing, which cuts down on cleanup and prep time between operations. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both production and maintenance finishing tasks.

Key Features

• Convolute non-woven construction runs cool and reduces heat transfer to workpieces
• Soft wheel construction requires less operator effort than harder abrasive wheels
• Conformable web continuously exposes fresh abrasive for consistent surface finishing
• Unique resin system reduces smearing and minimizes cleanup time
• Multi-purpose use: deburrs, polishes, blends, cleans, and finishes metals, composites, and glass
• 12-inch diameter fits standard bench and pedestal grinder arbors used in fabrication environments

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench-mounted and pedestal grinders accepting convolute deburring wheels. Suitable for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass substrates requiring light deburring and polishing.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or metalworking technicians familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the grinder arbor speed rating does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before use. Appropriate eye protection and guarding must be in place prior to operation per applicable ANSI abrasive wheel safety standards.
