3M 7100141076 Depressed Center Grinding Wheel 4 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100141076 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel built for heavy-duty metal removal tasks. It measures 4 inches in diameter and uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain ceramic abrasive technology to deliver a fast, consistent cut throughout the life of the wheel. The grain is engineered to fracture in a controlled manner, continually exposing sharp cutting edges rather than dulling over time. Weighing 6.25 pounds per unit, this wheel is suited for demanding production environments, including robotic and pressure-assisted grinding applications where wheel longevity directly reduces machine downtime.

This wheel is designed for grinding, beveling, and weld removal on stainless steel, mild steel, carbon steel, and aerospace alloys. It fits standard angle grinders and depressed center grinding equipment. Its construction makes it a practical choice for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial grinding operations where consistent cut rate and long wheel life are priorities. The Type 27 profile suits flat and contour grinding on metal workpieces.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain delivers a fast, consistent cut rate throughout wheel life
• Type 27 depressed center profile suited for flat grinding, beveling, and weld removal
• Compatible with stainless steel, mild steel, carbon steel, and aerospace alloys
• Engineered for robotic and pressure-assisted applications to reduce changeouts and downtime
• Long wheel life supports productivity in high-volume production environments
• For safe use, always mount on a tool equipped with an approved guard per ANSI B7.1

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders and power tools configured for depressed center Type 27 grinding wheels. Always confirm tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum rated speed before installation.

Installation Notes

This wheel should be installed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices. Power down and disconnect the grinder completely before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 standards for the safe use, handling, and protection of abrasive wheels.
