3M 7000046076 Deburring Wheel 8 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000046076 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for material removal, surface conditioning, and edge finishing on metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a hard density grade 8, it delivers consistent cutting action across the full face of the wheel. The 8-inch diameter and 1-inch face width suit a range of industrial grinding and finishing operations. Rated to 4,500 RPM, this wheel is appropriate for powered tooling used in production and repair settings. Machinists, metalworkers, and tool-and-die technicians are the primary installers and operators of this type of abrasive tooling.

This deburring wheel is suited for use in applications requiring controlled deburring, blending, and light stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The convolute construction maintains consistent density and cut rate as the wheel wears. Compatible tooling includes centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands, making it adaptable across both bench-mounted and handheld powered equipment in shop environments.

Key Features

• Convolute wheel construction maintains consistent abrasive exposure throughout wheel life
• 4,500 RPM maximum speed rating for use with powered grinding and sanding equipment
• 8-inch diameter and 1-inch face width suit a broad range of industrial tooling setups
• 3-inch center hole size for direct arbor mounting on compatible machines
• Fine grade abrasive for controlled material removal without excessive surface damage

Compatibility

Compatible tooling includes centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands. Designed as an OEM-specification convolute deburring wheel for industrial metal finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of abrasive wheels should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Always verify that the spindle speed of the machine does not exceed the 4,500 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before installation and confirm that flanges and arbor hardware are clean and properly sized for the 3-inch center hole. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation.
