3M 7000046057 Convolute Deburring Wheel Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000046057 is a convolute deburring wheel engineered for consistent edge finishing, burr removal, and surface blending on metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive in a hard density grade 8 construction, it delivers aggressive cutting action while maintaining a fine finish. The convolute design bonds abrasive grain throughout the wheel body, so cutting performance remains consistent as the wheel wears. Rated to 6,000 RPM, this wheel is suited for sustained production use on powered backstands, die grinders, inline sanders, and robotic finishing systems. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and operators.

This deburring wheel fits applications requiring controlled burr removal and edge blending on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 6 inches in diameter with a 0.5 inch face width and a 1 inch center hole, it mounts to standard arbors found on backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, pressure assist backstands, and robotic finishing cells. The fine grade silicon carbide abrasive makes it well suited for finishing passes where surface quality matters alongside material removal.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive in a hard, density 8 convolute construction for consistent cut throughout wheel life
• Fine grade abrasive delivers smooth surface finish alongside burr removal
• 6,000 RPM maximum speed rating supports use on high-speed power tools
• 1 inch center hole mounts to standard backstands and grinder arbors
• Compatible with backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual and pressure assist backstands, and robotic systems
• Convolute wheel structure maintains geometry and performance as material wears away

Compatibility

Designed for use with backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, pressure assist backstands, and robotic finishing systems accepting a 1 inch arbor hole and operating at or below 6,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or trained metal finishing technicians. Ensure the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for visible damage before each use and never operate a cracked or deformed convolute wheel.
