3M 7000046049 Scotch-brite Convolute Deburring Wheel 14 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046049 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven abrasive wheel designed for light deburring, polishing, and surface finishing on a wide range of materials. Built under the Scotch-Brite LD-WL line, this wheel measures 14 inches in diameter and weighs 4.58 pounds. Its soft construction reduces operator effort compared to harder wheel types, while a unique resin system minimizes smearing on workpiece surfaces. The non-woven web runs cool, making it suitable for heat-sensitive base materials. Licensed tradespeople and shop fabricators working in metal, composites, or glass finishing will find this wheel a practical, multi-purpose tool for deburring and polishing operations.

This wheel is suited for industrial and fabrication environments where light burr removal and surface finishing are routine tasks. Typical applications include deburring machined metal parts, blending weld seams, and polishing composites or glass surfaces. The convolute construction continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral as the wheel wears, promoting consistent results across the full service life of the wheel. It is appropriate for use on bench-mounted or pedestal grinders configured for convolute wheel arbors.

Key Features

• Convolute construction continuously exposes fresh abrasive mineral for consistent surface finishing
• Soft wheel construction reduces operator effort compared to harder abrasive wheels
• Non-woven web runs cool, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive materials
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing clean-up and prep time between passes
• Multi-purpose design handles deburring, cleaning, blending, polishing, and finishing in a single wheel
• Suitable for use on metals, composites, and glass

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench-mounted or pedestal grinders that accept convolute-style abrasive wheels; verify arbor bore size and maximum RPM rating of the machine before mounting.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of abrasive wheels should be performed by trained personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Ensure the grinder is fully powered down and locked out before installing or removing the wheel. Confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Always use appropriate guards and personal protective equipment, including eye and face protection, during operation.
