3M 7000118599 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4.5 in 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000118599 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for use with angle grinders in metal fabrication, weld grinding, and surface conditioning work. The wheel measures 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch thickness and accepts a 0.875-inch arbor. Its ceramic abrasive grain at 36 grit provides aggressive, very coarse stock removal. The resinoid bond holds the grain firmly under high-speed operation, rated to a maximum of 13,300 RPM. Electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general trade professionals reach for this wheel when fast material removal is the priority.

This wheel is suited to demanding grinding tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, welds, and castings in both residential and commercial jobsite environments. The Type 27 depressed-center profile keeps the grinding face at a low working angle, improving control and operator visibility during extended passes. It mounts via a standard arbor connection compatible with most 4.5-inch angle grinders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices. Always disconnect or de-energize the angle grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's 13,300 RPM maximum before use, and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage prior to each installation. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
