3M 7000046999 Unitized Quick Change Wheel 3 in Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000046999 is a 3 inch diameter unitized quick change wheel built for heavy-duty edge deburring and surface finishing on metal workpieces. It uses aluminum oxide mineral bonded into a high-density open web construction that resists loading and extends abrasive service life. The wheel is part of the 800 Series, which features harder material and increased edge durability compared to 700 Series unitized wheels. It is designed for use with standard quick change disc tools and is a common choice for metal fabrication shops, maintenance technicians, and production line workers who need consistent results on smaller surface areas.

This wheel is well suited for edge deburring and polishing on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and aluminum. It performs reliably on stainless steel polishing applications and other finish work on smaller sections of a workpiece. The quick change attachment system allows fast disc swaps without additional hardware, making it practical in high-turnover production environments where tool downtime needs to be minimized.

Key Features

• High-density unitized wheel construction resists loading for extended service life
• Aluminum oxide mineral works on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and aluminum
• 800 Series offers harder material and greater edge durability than 700 Series unitized wheels
• Open web design reduces clogging and maintains consistent cut rate
• Quick change attachment system enables fast, tool-free disc swapping
• Suited for heavy-duty edge deburring and stainless steel polishing on smaller work areas

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard quick change rotary tools and die grinders that accept quick change disc attachments. Suitable as a replacement or supplemental wheel for applications currently using 700 Series unitized wheels where increased edge durability is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or metal fabrication professionals. Power down and disconnect the rotary tool or die grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not use a wheel that shows signs of cracking or deterioration.
