3M 7000046098 Convolute Deburring Wheel 10 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046098 is a convolute-constructed deburring and finishing wheel designed for mid-range aggressiveness and hardness. Built on a layered, unitized construction, this wheel is used for deburring, edge radiusing, blending, polishing, and surface finishing across a wide range of metal alloys as well as many plastics and composites. The wheel edge can be dressed as needed to maintain cutting performance on sharp edges and metal burrs. At 10.4 inches in diameter and 2.6 inches wide, it suits bench-mounted or pedestal grinder setups common in fabrication and machine shop environments. Weighing approximately 5 pounds, it is a substantial, production-grade abrasive wheel.

This wheel is suited for metalworking and fabrication applications where consistent surface conditioning, deburring, and finishing are required. It operates effectively on all metal alloys and many plastics and composites. The convolute construction allows the wheel edge to be dressed for precision work, making it appropriate for edge radiusing, blending weld seams, and light polishing. It is designed for use by machinists, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople operating bench grinders or pedestal grinders. The wheel runs in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction, providing setup flexibility.

Key Features

• Convolute, layered, unitized construction supports dressing for precise deburring and finishing
• Operates in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation for flexible machine mounting
• Mid-range aggressiveness and hardness suitable for deburring, blending, polishing, and edge radiusing
• Resists smearing for cleaner finished surfaces and reduced prep time
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing thermal impact on heat-sensitive base materials
• Compatible with all metal alloys and many plastics and composites

Compatibility

Designed for use on all metal alloys and many plastics and composites. Suitable for bench-mounted or pedestal grinder applications requiring convolute deburring and finishing wheel performance.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabrication professional following the grinder manufacturer's arbor and flange specifications. Power down and lock out the grinder completely before mounting or changing 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 never operate a cracked or delaminated abrasive wheel.
