3M 7000046242 Deburring Wheel 6 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000046242 is a convolute deburring wheel constructed with silicon carbide abrasive in a fine grade, hard density configuration. Rated to a maximum of 6,000 RPM, this wheel is designed for controlled material removal, edge deburring, and surface blending on metal workpieces. The convolute construction layers abrasive-impregnated material around a fiber core, delivering consistent cut and finish throughout the life of the wheel. At 0.87 pounds, it is suited for bench, backstand, and inline sanding setups in fabrication and finishing environments. Machinists, metal fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary installers and operators of this product.

This deburring wheel is used in metalworking applications where edge conditioning, burr removal, and light surface blending are required. The silicon carbide abrasive cuts efficiently on non-ferrous metals, cast iron, titanium, and composites. It is compatible with backstands, inline sanders, and manual backstands. Mandrel and adapter compatibility includes size 3 and size 5 arbors. It is appropriate for both production shop environments and job-site finishing work where a consistent, repeatable finish is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices. Power down and lock out the host machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm mandrel size matches the 1 inch center hole and that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM wheel rating. Always perform a ring inspection and a no-load run at operating speed behind a guard before engaging the workpiece.
