Non-woven convolute wheel for deburring
This 3M convolute wheel uses silicon-carbide abrasive in an open non-woven construction rated Hard density 9 and Fine grade. The wheel measures 8 inches overall diameter with a 1-inch face width and a 3-inch centre hole for bench grinders or straight-shaft tools. It runs at up to 4,500 RPM for light deburring and finishing on metal surfaces.
Suited for light finishing, not heavy stock removal
The Fine grade and open coating serve operators who need controlled material removal without gouging, such as blending weld seams or cleaning burrs on stainless steel, aluminium or mild steel. Workshops requiring aggressive grinding, rapid stock removal or coarse surface preparation should choose a different abrasive type.
Maximum operating speed 4,500 RPM
This speed limit is the critical specification for safe mounting; the wheel must only be used on equipment that does not exceed 4,500 RPM at the spindle. Exceeding this rating risks wheel disintegration and operator injury.

Questions about this item
What spindle size must my bench grinder have to mount this 3 in connector wheel?
The wheel's 3 in centre hole fits a standard 3 in spindle or an adaptor that matches that diameter.
Can I run this XL-WL wheel on a grinder rated above 4,500 RPM?
No — the maximum operating speed is 4,500 RPM, so the machine must not exceed that limit.
How do I confirm the wheel is performing correctly once installed?
The gray silicon-carbide face should cut smoothly without loading, and the hard density rating (9) keeps its shape under pressure.
