3M 7000046070 Scotch-brite Exl Deburring Wheel 6 Inch Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7000046070 is a Scotch-Brite EXL convolute deburring wheel engineered for high-efficiency deburring, finishing, and polishing of metals, composites, and glass. Built with a hard, dense, and conformable construction, the wheel removes burrs and surface irregularities without undercutting, gouging, or distorting the workpiece. At 6 inches in diameter and fine grit, it delivers a smooth, clean surface finish suitable for demanding production environments. A unique resin system minimizes smearing and heat buildup, reducing the risk of discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive substrates. Fabricators, tool-and-die shops, and metalworking professionals are the primary users.

This wheel is suited for deburring stamped parts, laser-cut components, and parts requiring finishing after belt sanding. Its conformable structure keeps the abrasive in contact with complex or irregular geometries, making it equally effective in manual bench grinder setups and automated robotic processing lines. Applications span aerospace, automotive, general metal fabrication, and composite finishing. The convolute construction maintains wheel balance over its service life, producing a consistent finish from first use to last.

Key Features

• Hard, dense, conformable construction deburrs and polishes without undercutting or distorting workpieces
• Effective on all metals, composites, and glass — reduces wheel changeover in multi-material shops
• Convolute build keeps the wheel running true for a consistent, repeatable surface finish
• Conformability maintains abrasive contact on complex and irregular part geometries, including robotic processing
• Unique resin system minimizes smearing, reducing post-process cleaning time
• Minimizes heat buildup to protect heat-sensitive substrates from discoloration and warping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit convolute deburring wheel for bench grinders and automated finishing systems accepting 6-inch diameter convolute wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator following the grinder or finishing system manufacturer's mounting specifications. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating speed before use. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and discard any wheel showing cracking, fraying, or uneven wear.
