3M 7000046252 Silicon Carbide Deburring Wheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046252 is a convolute deburring wheel constructed with silicon carbide abrasive in a fine grade, hard density configuration. Designed for aggressive edge conditioning and surface finishing, this wheel removes burrs, sharp edges, and surface contaminants from metal workpieces without significantly altering base material dimensions. The convolute construction layers abrasive material around a fiber core, providing consistent cut throughout the wheel's life. Rated at a maximum of 4,500 RPM, it is suited for use on backstands, inline sanders, and manual backstands in fabrication and metalworking environments. The wheel weighs 0.71 pounds and is installed by machinists, tool room technicians, and metal fabricators.

This deburring wheel is sized at 8 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch face width and a 3-inch center hole. It is compatible with mandrel and adapter number 356. The 8-inch diameter and narrow face width make it appropriate for precision edge work on flat stock, tubing, and structural shapes. Typical applications include deburring after sawing, milling, drilling, or punching operations in light manufacturing and job shop settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabrication technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the wheel's 4,500 RPM maximum rating. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use and follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting and operation.
