3M 7100022785 Convolute Deburring Wheel 6 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100022785 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for aggressive surface conditioning and deburring on metal workpieces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive at a density of 8 and a hard density grade, this wheel cuts consistently across the full face width without loading. The 6-inch diameter and 1.5-inch face width make it well suited for bench-top and inline applications where controlled stock removal is needed. It is rated to 6,000 RPM, which covers the operating range of most bench motors and inline sanders used in fabrication and finishing shops. Machinists, metal fabricators, and tool-and-die technicians install and use this wheel as part of their deburring and edge-conditioning workflow.

This convolute wheel is intended for use on metalworking equipment in both light manufacturing and job-shop environments. Typical applications include deburring machined edges, blending weld seams, and conditioning flat or contoured metal surfaces. Compatible tooling includes bench top motors, inline sanders, and manual backstand grinders. The 1-inch center hole fits mandrel and adapter sizes 3 and 5, allowing straightforward mounting on compatible spindles without additional hardware in most setups.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive construction provides consistent cut rate on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Density 8 hard grade delivers aggressive deburring action with dimensional stability under load
• 6,000 RPM maximum speed rating covers standard bench motor and inline sander operating ranges
• Convolute wheel construction maintains abrasive exposure as the wheel wears, extending usable life
• Compatible with mandrel and adapter sizes 3 and 5 for secure spindle mounting
• 1-inch center hole and 6-inch diameter suit common bench-top and backstand tooling configurations

Compatibility

Compatible with bench top motors, inline sanders, and manual backstand grinders. Accepts mandrel and adapter sizes 3 and 5. Center hole size is 1 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM rating stamped on the wheel before operating. Inspect the wheel for visible damage before each use and follow ANSI B7.1 guidelines for safe mounting of bonded abrasive wheels.
