3M 7000046914 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 3 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000046914 is a 700 Series unitized abrasive wheel designed for tough finishing applications on hard and exotic metals. Built with medium to hard density construction and silicon carbide mineral, this non-woven wheel delivers a fine finish on materials including titanium, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and composites. The open web design resists loading, extending abrasive service life. Weighing 1.267 pounds, the wheel measures 3 inches in diameter and is engineered for use with a unitized wheel mandrel, sold separately. HVAC sheet metal fabricators, pipefitters, and metalworkers rely on this wheel for consistent edge finishing and surface conditioning.

The 7000046914 is suited for finishing and conditioning work in both fabrication shops and field service environments. It handles hard metals such as titanium where softer abrasive constructions fall short. The 700 Series offers a harder material density and greater edge durability compared to 600 Series unitized wheels, making it appropriate for more aggressive finishing passes on difficult workpieces including composites and exotic alloys. The center hole design accommodates standard mandrel attachment for use on angle grinders and die grinders.

Key Features

• Medium to hard density silicon carbide construction suited for tough finishing on titanium, ferrous, and non-ferrous metals
• Increased edge durability over 600 Series unitized wheels for longer service life and more aggressive material removal
• Open web design resists loading, maintaining cutting action throughout wheel life
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for versatility across tool configurations
• Center hole design attaches to standard unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately)
• Compatible with ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys, and composites

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or standard-use wheel for applications requiring medium to hard density non-woven abrasive finishing. Attaches via a unitized wheel mandrel on angle grinders and die grinders accepting 3-inch diameter center hole wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety requirements per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Ensure the tool spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum RPM of the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or deformed wheel. Mount using the appropriate unitized wheel mandrel and confirm secure attachment before powering the tool.
