3M 7100048541 Deburring Wheel 12 Inch Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100048541 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for aggressive surface finishing and edge deburring on metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a density grade of 7 (hard), this wheel delivers consistent cutting action across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 12 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch face width and a 5-inch center hole, and it is rated for a maximum of 3,000 RPM. Licensed trades and production floor operators use this wheel where controlled material removal and repeatable surface quality are required on powered grinding and sanding equipment.

This wheel is suited for industrial deburring applications in metal fabrication, manufacturing, and finishing operations. It fits a variety of powered machines including backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, pressure assist backstands, and robotic finishing systems. The fine abrasive grade makes it appropriate for finish deburring passes where edge quality and surface consistency matter, rather than heavy stock removal.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive construction for consistent edge deburring on metal
• Density grade 7 hard for firm, controlled material engagement
• Fine abrasive grade suited for finishing and deburring passes
• Convolute wheel construction provides uniform abrasive contact across the face
• Rated to 3,000 RPM maximum for safe operation on compatible powered equipment
• Compatible with a wide range of machine types including robotic finishing systems

Compatibility

Compatible with backstands, centerless grinders, die grinders, inline sanders, manual backstands, pressure assist backstands, and robotic finishing systems that accept a 12-inch diameter wheel with a 5-inch center hole and a 0.5-inch face width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 3,000 RPM maximum rating stamped on the wheel before operation. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety guidelines for abrasive wheel mounting, including proper flange size and guard clearance.
