3M 7000046070 Deburring Wheel 6 in Silicon Carbide Density 9

Product Description

The 3M 7000046070 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for edge finishing, deburring, and surface blending on metal and other hard materials. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a hard density grade of 9, the wheel delivers consistent, controlled material removal without loading. It measures 6 inches in diameter with a 2-inch face width and a 1-inch center hole, fitting a range of bench-top and portable power equipment. Rated to 6,000 RPM, it suits production and job-shop environments where machinists, fabricators, and metalworking technicians need repeatable finishing results.

This wheel is suited for deburring and finish-blending operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both production and maintenance settings. Tooling compatibility includes bench-top motors, inline sanders, and manual backstand equipment, making it adaptable across common metalworking setups. The convolute construction — layers of abrasive-coated material wound around a core — maintains a consistent surface throughout the wheel's life, which reduces the need for frequent wheel changes during extended runs.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive with fine grade and hard density 9 construction for controlled, aggressive deburring
• Convolute wheel design maintains consistent abrasive surface as the wheel wears
• 6,000 RPM maximum speed rating suits standard bench-top and backstand equipment
• 6-inch diameter x 2-inch face width with 1-inch center hole for broad fitment across compatible arbors
• Compatible with mandrel and adapter sizes 3 and 5
• Suitable for bench-top motors, inline sanders, and manual backstand tooling

Compatibility

Compatible with bench-top motors, inline sanders, and manual backstand equipment. Accepts mandrel and adapter sizes 3 and 5. Designed as a convolute deburring wheel for use on metalworking equipment with a 1-inch arbor and a maximum operating speed of at least 6,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's arbor and guard requirements. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM rating marked on the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use, and confirm the arbor hole fits snugly with the appropriate mandrel or adapter size.
