3M 7000046077 Convolute Deburring Wheel 6 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000046077 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for aggressive surface conditioning and edge deburring on metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a hard density grade of 9, it delivers consistent cut and finish in high-contact applications. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter with a 1 inch face width and a 1 inch center hole, making it compatible with standard arbor-driven tooling. Rated to a maximum of 6,000 RPM, it is suited for both stationary and portable equipment used in fabrication and finishing environments. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this wheel.

This wheel is intended for use in industrial and fabrication shop settings where consistent deburring, edge blending, and light surface conditioning are required on metal parts. The convolute construction provides a durable, uniform abrasive matrix that resists loading and maintains cut rate over extended use. Tooling compatibility includes centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands, making it adaptable across a wide range of shop floor setups.

Compatibility

Compatible tooling includes centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitment for applications requiring a 6 inch convolute deburring wheel with a 1 inch arbor hole.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards, including ANSI B7.1 guidelines for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and never exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rated speed. Ensure the spindle and arbor are clean and properly fitted before securing the wheel, and use appropriate guards as required by the equipment manufacturer and applicable safety regulations.
