3M 7000046895 Convolute Deburring Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000046895 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for medium to heavy precision deburring, blending, and polishing of metal and machined parts. The wheel bonds an open web material containing silicon carbide abrasive grain and resin to a rigid fiberglass core. That construction produces a strong, dense wheel with a conformable profile that follows part contours, reducing the risk of gouging or dimensional damage. At 6 inches in diameter, it fits standard bench grinder and pedestal grinder arbors used in metalworking and fabrication shops. Weighing approximately 1.845 pounds, it is a solid, production-grade tool suited for regular shop use by machinists, tool and die workers, and fabrication professionals.

This wheel is particularly well suited for removing medium to heavy burrs on parts with close tolerances. A common application is cleaning aluminum die cast flashing, where aggressive material removal must occur without compromising dimensional accuracy. It also performs well on steel, stainless, and other metals requiring edge blending or surface finishing. The open-web construction resists loading, which extends abrasive service life and maintains consistent cutting performance across a production run. The silicon carbide mineral delivers sharp cutting action and leaves smooth finishes on workpiece edges and surfaces.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive grain provides sharp cutting action and smooth surface finishes
• Open-web construction resists loading and prolongs usable wheel life
• Medium to hard density stands up to edge work without premature breakdown
• Conformable profile follows part geometry and reduces gouging risk
• Fiberglass core adds rigidity and strength for medium to heavy deburring applications
• Effective on aluminum die cast flashing and other close-tolerance metal parts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style convolute deburring wheel for use on standard bench grinders and pedestal grinders that accept a 6-inch diameter wheel with appropriate arbor sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following the grinder manufacturer's wheel-mounting instructions. Power down and lockout/tagout the grinder before mounting or removing any wheel. Confirm that the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM rating before operation. Inspect the wheel for visible damage before each use and dress as needed for consistent performance.
