3M 7010368681 Convolute Deburring Wheel 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010368681 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for medium to heavy precision deburring, blending, and polishing of machined and fabricated parts. It is built around a fiberglass core wrapped in an open-web construction that binds abrasive grain and resin throughout the wheel body. The wheel uses fine-grade silicon carbide mineral, which delivers sharp cutting action and smooth surface finishes. At 6 inches in diameter and 3.69 inches wide, it is sized for bench grinder and spindle applications. The medium-to-hard density construction stands up to part edges without collapsing, and the conformable web follows part geometry to reduce gouging on complex profiles.

This deburring wheel is suited for metalworking environments where close tolerances must be maintained. It handles tasks such as removing aluminum die cast flashing, cleaning up burrs on drilled or stamped holes, and blending weld seams before finishing. The open-web structure resists loading, extending service life compared to solid abrasive wheels. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-room technicians install this wheel on bench grinders or dedicated deburring spindles as part of a standard finishing operation.

Key Features

• Fine-grade silicon carbide mineral for sharp cutting action and smooth finishes
• Medium-to-hard density construction withstands contact with part edges and close-tolerance geometry
• Open-web build resists loading, prolonging abrasive service life
• Conformable wheel body follows part contours and reduces gouging risk
• Fiberglass core provides structural strength under sustained rotation loads
• Effective on aluminum die cast flashing, stamped parts, and similar medium-to-heavy burr applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard convolute deburring wheel for use on bench grinders and spindle deburring machines that accept a 6-inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting. Power down and lock out the grinder or spindle before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before installation and never exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel or machine. Run the wheel briefly at operating speed with the guard in place before bringing it into contact with workpieces.
