3M 7010325744 Grinding Cutting Wheel 4.5 in Ceramic 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010325744 is a ceramic abrasive grinding and cut-off wheel built for high-demand metalworking applications. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter and rated at 36 grit, it uses a ceramic abrasive grain that delivers fast cut rates and extended service life compared to conventional aluminum oxide wheels. The rigid, reinforced resin-bonded construction allows it to function as both a depressed center grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel. Licensed tradespeople working with stainless steel and mild steel will find this wheel suited to cutting, grinding, and gouging tasks in fabrication and maintenance environments.

This wheel is designed for use with 4.5 inch angle grinders in metal fabrication, structural steel work, and general maintenance settings. It performs on both stainless steel and mild steel, making it a practical single-wheel option for shops and field technicians who work across material types. The depressed center profile allows flush and close-quarter grinding, while the cut-off capability reduces the need to swap wheels mid-job.

Key Features

• Ceramic abrasive grain delivers high cut rates and longer wheel life versus standard abrasives
• Functions as both a depressed center grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel
• Rigid, reinforced resin-bonded construction for consistent performance under load
• Rated for high-speed operation compatible with standard 4.5 inch angle grinders
• Suitable for use on stainless steel and mild steel
• Wheel must not be used on tools with a maximum speed exceeding the wheel speed rating

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4.5 inch angle grinders; suitable for cutting and grinding stainless steel and mild steel. Must be used with a wheel guard that fits the size of the cut-off wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 standards. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Confirm the tool maximum speed does not exceed the wheel speed rating before use.
