3M 7000046998 Unitized Quick Change Abrasive Wheel 3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000046998 is a 3-inch diameter unitized quick change wheel from the 700 Series, designed for medium to high-density deburring and surface conditioning on smaller workpieces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive mineral, this wheel delivers the edge durability required for removing punched hole burrs on stainless steel, eliminating heavy flashing, working out medium-sized pits and scratches, and cleaning heavy scale or weld discoloration. The open web construction resists loading, extending service life during aggressive metal finishing work. Metalworkers and fabricators install this wheel with compatible quick change tool systems.

This wheel is suited for mid-sequence metal finishing applications in fabrication and manufacturing environments. It performs on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum and stainless steel. Typical use cases include deburring punched or drilled holes, cleaning oxidized or heat-discolored weld zones, and surface prep before finishing. The medium to fine grade aluminum oxide mineral makes this an effective choice where harder, more aggressive action is needed compared to 600 Series unitized wheels.

Key Features

• Medium to high density construction provides aggressive cut for heavy-duty deburring and cleaning tasks
• Increased edge durability over 600 Series unitized wheels for longer service life on harder metals
• Aluminum oxide mineral is compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metals including aluminum and stainless steel
• Open web design resists loading, maintaining cutting performance throughout the wheel life
• Quick change attachment allows fast disc swaps without tools, reducing downtime

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard quick change tool systems that accept 3-inch unitized wheels; compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces including aluminum and stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by metalworkers, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a compatible quick change rotary tool or right-angle grinder. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the arbor and locking mechanism are fully engaged before operating. Follow applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheel use, including proper RPM rating verification.
