Description

Our 3M™ general purpose cut-off wheel is a durable, fast cutting wheel useful for cutting autobody sheet metal, frame rails, exhaust pipes, clamps and rusted bolts. Aluminum oxide grains are bonded together into a rigid wheel that cuts fast and can be used again and again. Designed for use on utility type cut-off tools. Our 3M™ general purpose cut-off wheel is constructed of aluminum oxide mineral abrasive, a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut rate and long life. We chose this mineral because it is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives such as garnet quickly wear down with use. Due to its fast cut rate, hardness, strength and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in all types of abrasives. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials, including ferrous alloys. Cut-off wheels must be attached to a cut-off wheel power tool designed specifically for the size of wheel used. For safety, cut-off wheels must always be used with a wheel guard that is compatible with the size of the wheel. The cut-off wheel must have a maximum operating speed greater than or equal to the maximum speed of the power tool used. Our general purpose cut-off wheels are easily changed with a hub and retainer nut design when discs become worn. Unlike abrasive discs, which shape or sand objects using the disc surface, cut-off wheels make a perpendicular cut through the workpiece using the outer edge of the wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are typically used for cutting through metal, for example auto body or marine sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, exhaust pipes, clamps, propeller shafts and rusted bolts. Cut-off wheels are attached to a cut-off tool (sold separately) and must always be used with a wheel guard for safety. Our 3M™ general purpose cut-off wheel measures 3 in (Dia) x 1/32 in (THK) x 3/8 in (center hole).
