3M 7000118489 Ceramic Grinding Wheel 7 Inch 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000118489 is a ceramic abrasive grinding and cut-off wheel built for demanding metalworking applications. At 7 inches in diameter with a 36-grit ceramic grain, it delivers fast stock removal and extended service life compared to conventional abrasive wheels. The rigid, resin-bonded construction allows this wheel to function as both a depressed center grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel, reducing the need to swap tooling mid-job. Licensed trades working with stainless steel and mild steel fabrication will find it suited for cutting, grinding, and gouging operations.

This wheel is intended for use on angle grinders and compatible right-angle grinding tools in fabrication shops, field welding operations, and maintenance environments. Its high speed rating supports efficient material removal on both stainless and mild steel substrates. The depressed center profile provides clearance for flush and near-flush grinding work. Typical users include pipefitters, ironworkers, millwrights, and general fabricators who require a single wheel capable of handling multiple cutting and grinding tasks without changing tooling.

Key Features

• Ceramic abrasive grain provides high cut rate and extended wheel life
• Dual-purpose design functions as both a depressed center grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel
• Rigid reinforced resin bond maintains wheel integrity at high operating speeds
• Rated for use on stainless steel and mild steel
• High speed rating supports rapid material removal with controlled wear
• Wheel must be matched to a power tool with a maximum operating speed at or below the wheel speed rating

Compatibility

Designed for use on angle grinders and right-angle grinders compatible with 7-inch depressed center abrasive wheels. Suitable for cutting, grinding, and gouging operations on stainless steel and mild steel.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices. Always power down and disconnect the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. A wheel guard sized specifically for this cut-off wheel must be in place during all operations — running the wheel without an appropriate guard is prohibited. Verify that the tool maximum operating speed does not exceed the wheel speed rating before use.
