3M 7000047035 Unitized Abrasive Wheel 3 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000047035 is a 3-inch diameter unitized abrasive wheel from the Standard Abrasives Silicon Carbide HP 500 Series. Built with a soft, conformable density, it is designed for light-pressure blending, finishing, and polishing on flat or contoured surfaces. The silicon carbide mineral cuts efficiently across ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including exotic metals, titanium, and composite materials. The open-web nylon construction resists loading and dissipates heat without melting or smearing, helping prevent unwanted surface marks. Finishing professionals and fabricators working to close tolerances use this wheel where control and finesse matter more than aggressive stock removal.

This wheel suits light deburring, surface blending, and fine polishing tasks in fabrication shops, aerospace, and general metalworking environments. It performs on both flat and contoured workpiece profiles, making it a practical choice when parts have complex geometry. The wheel runs clockwise and counterclockwise, which broadens its compatibility with a range of handheld and bench-mounted tools. A unitized wheel mandrel is required for mounting and is sold separately.

Key Features

• Soft density silicon carbide construction for fine surface finishing and close-tolerance blending
• Suitable for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, exotic alloys, titanium, and composites
• Open-web nylon strands resist loading and will not melt or smear under heat
• Runs clockwise and counterclockwise for versatility across tools and machines
• Cuts faster than buff-and-blend non-woven products while maintaining surface control
• Center-hole design attaches via a unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately)

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard unitized wheel mandrels compatible with 3-inch center-hole non-woven abrasive wheels. Part of the Standard Abrasives Silicon Carbide HP 500 Series.

Installation Notes

Install and service this wheel with the tool or machine fully powered off and unplugged or locked out per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the mandrel and spindle speed rating meet or exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and replace if any tears, delamination, or abnormal wear are present. This type of abrasive product is typically mounted and operated by fabricators, metalworkers, or maintenance technicians familiar with handheld grinders and bench tools.
