3M 7100305444 Cut and Grind Wheel 5 Inch 36+ Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100305444 is a 5-inch Cubitrona 3 Cut and Grind Wheel built for cutting, grinding, and gouging on stainless steel and mild steel. It uses 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, a re-engineered grain technology with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture to maintain sharp cutting points, run cooler, and wear more evenly than conventional abrasives. The result is faster stock removal with less applied pressure. The wheel is rigid, reinforced, and resin-bonded, rated at 36+ grit, and functions as both a grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel in a single tool.

This wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service work where both cutting and grinding operations are performed on the same workpiece. It handles stainless steel and mild steel substrates and is packaged in a minimum quantity of two wheels per pack, making it practical for ongoing shop use or job-site kits. The reformulated wheel composition improves balance and smoothness during operation, reducing the likelihood of rework and improving surface finish quality compared to earlier Cubitrona generations.

Key Features

• Functions as both a grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel, eliminating the need to swap discs for cutting and grinding tasks
• Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain continuously fractures to expose fresh, sharp cutting points throughout wheel life
• Compatible with stainless steel and mild steel substrates
• Rigid, reinforced, resin-bonded construction maintains wheel integrity under aggressive load
• Reformulated composition delivers improved balance and smoother action for better finish quality
• 36+ grit designation optimized for aggressive material removal

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel and mild steel. Suitable for angle grinders and cut-off tools that accept 5-inch abrasive wheels. Verify tool RPM rating against wheel maximum RPM before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
