3M 7100023491 Deburring Wheel 6 in Silicon Carbide Convolute

Product Description

The 3M 7100023491 is a convolute deburring wheel constructed with silicon carbide abrasive, designed for deburring, blending, and surface finishing on metal workpieces. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch face width and a 1-inch center hole, making it compatible with standard arbor configurations. Rated to 6,000 RPM, it delivers consistent material removal at moderate to high spindle speeds. The convolute construction layers abrasive uniformly throughout the wheel body, maintaining a consistent cut as the wheel wears. This is a shop-floor consumable installed and operated by machinists, tool and die workers, and metal fabricators.

This deburring wheel is suited for use on die grinders, inline sanders, centerless grinders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands. It is appropriate for edge deburring, light surface blending, and finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in production and job-shop environments. The fine abrasive grade makes it well suited for finishing work where surface quality matters as much as material removal rate.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive material provides aggressive cutting action on hard metals and non-ferrous materials
• Convolute wheel construction maintains consistent abrasive density and cut rate throughout wheel life
• 6,000 RPM maximum speed rating supports use on high-speed die grinders and inline sanders
• Fine abrasive grade delivers smooth surface finish on final deburring and blending passes
• 1-inch center hole fits standard arbors on common bench and portable deburring tooling
• Medium density grade balances conformability with durability across varied workpiece geometries

Compatibility

Designed for use with centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands equipped with a 1-inch arbor and operating at or below 6,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement of abrasive deburring wheels is typically performed by machinists or trained shop personnel. Always verify the spindle speed of the host tool does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting, guarding, and operation.
