3M 7100023494 Convolute Deburring Wheel 8in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100023494 is a convolute deburring wheel engineered for surface finishing, edge blending, and burr removal on metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a density of 9 and a soft, fine grade, this wheel delivers consistent cut and finish across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 8 inches in diameter with a 2-inch face width and a 3-inch center hole for secure arbor mounting. Rated to 4500 RPM, it is designed for use in production or maintenance environments where controlled stock removal and repeatable surface conditioning are required. Metalworkers, machinists, and fabrication technicians are the primary installers and operators of this wheel.

This convolute wheel is suited for deburring and finishing operations on metal parts where edge uniformity and surface quality matter. Its silicon carbide abrasive makes it well-matched for harder metals and non-ferrous applications. The 8-inch diameter and 2-inch face width provide adequate coverage for flat, contoured, or cylindrical workpieces in both production and job-shop settings.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive for effective cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Fine grade, density 9 convolute construction for consistent surface finish
• 8-inch diameter with 2-inch face width for broad contact coverage
• 3-inch center hole for standard arbor or spindle mounting
• Rated at 4500 RPM maximum operating speed
• Soft grade flexibility allows the wheel to conform to workpiece contours

Compatibility

Compatible with centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, and pressure assist backstands that accept a 3-inch arbor hole and operate within a 4500 RPM maximum speed rating.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation should be performed by qualified personnel following applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and de-energize the machine fully before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 4500 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before starting. Inspect the wheel for visible damage or cracks prior to each use and never force the wheel onto an arbor.
