3M 7000046203 Convolute Deburring Finishing Wheel 8 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000046203 is a convolute non-woven abrasive wheel designed for simultaneous deburring and surface finishing on metal workpieces. Built with an open non-woven nylon construction impregnated with silicon carbide abrasive, this wheel cuts aggressively enough to remove stubborn burrs while leaving a fine, blended surface finish. The soft, conformable structure reduces the risk of gouging or marring the part surface. At 8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch arbor bore and weighing 1.17 pounds, it mounts directly to standard bench and pedestal grinders used in fabrication and machine shop environments.

This wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and machine shops where deburring and finishing operations are performed on the same piece in a single pass. It handles blending, deburring, and light finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The open non-woven construction resists loading, making it effective for extended production runs. Compatible with bench grinders and pedestal grinders, it is a practical choice for machinists, fabricators, and metalworking technicians who need consistent results across repeated use cycles.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive cuts sharp and fast, improving throughput on deburring tasks
• Convolute construction is soft and conformable, minimizing gouging and marring risk on finished surfaces
• Open non-woven nylon construction resists loading, extending abrasive service life
• Handles deburring, blending, and finishing in a single operation
• Compatible with standard bench and pedestal grinders

Compatibility

Designed for use with bench grinders and pedestal grinders equipped with a 3-inch arbor bore. Suitable for deburring and finishing applications on metal workpieces in fabrication and machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or machine operator. Ensure the grinder is fully powered down and unplugged before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the arbor bore size matches the grinder spindle and that all flanges and guards are properly secured before operation. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting and use.
