3M 7000046242 Scotch-brite Exl-xp Deburring Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046242 is a convolute deburring and finishing wheel from the Scotch-Brite EXL-XP line, engineered for high-volume deburring, edge blending, polishing, and surface finishing on metals, composites, and glass. Built with a fine-grit abrasive mineral that stays exposed throughout the wheel's service life, this wheel delivers a consistent cut rate and smooth running from first use to last. At 6 inches in diameter and weighing 0.87 pounds, it is sized for bench-mounted or pedestal grinder applications. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians use this wheel where edge quality and repeatable surface finish matter.

This wheel is suited for deburring and finishing operations in light manufacturing, metal fabrication shops, aerospace component prep, and general industrial finishing. It performs on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and glass surfaces. The convolute construction allows the wheel to conform to workpiece contours, making it effective for both flat edges and irregular profiles. Fine grit makes it appropriate for finishing passes and light deburring rather than heavy stock removal.

Key Features

• Fine-grit exposed mineral construction maintains cut rate and surface consistency over the full wheel life
• Convolute build allows conformability to contoured and irregular workpiece edges
• Works on metals, composites, and glass without smearing or loading
• Minimizes heat buildup, reducing risk of thermal damage to heat-sensitive materials
• Resists chunking and maintains edge retention through demanding finishing cycles

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders accepting 6-inch diameter convolute abrasive wheels. Suitable for deburring and finishing operations on all types of metals, composites, and glass.

Installation Notes

Convolute deburring wheels of this type are mounted and serviced by metalworking or finishing technicians on bench or pedestal grinding equipment. Power down and de-energize the grinder completely before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and confirm the grinder's rated RPM is compatible with the wheel's maximum speed rating. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel mounting and guarding.
