3M 7100313196 Cut Grind Wheel 6 Inch 36+ Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100313196 Cubitrona 3 Cut and Grind Wheel is a rigid, resin-bonded abrasive wheel engineered for dual-duty use as both a grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel. Built around 3M Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, the wheel continuously fractures to expose sharp cutting points, allowing it to run cool and wear evenly over extended use. At 6 inches in diameter with a 36 plus grit rating, it handles cutting, grinding, and gouging on stainless steel and mild steel. Licensed trades workers and fabrication professionals typically reach for this wheel when throughput and wheel life both matter.

This wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work involving stainless or mild steel substrates. Its reformulated wheel composition delivers improved balance and smoother action compared to previous-generation Cubitrona II abrasives, reducing the pressure required to complete a pass and helping minimize rework. It performs in both bench grinder and angle grinder applications where a Type 27 or equivalent dual-purpose wheel profile is appropriate.

Key Features

• Dual-function design works as both a cut-off wheel and a grinding wheel for cutting, grinding, and gouging
• Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain fractures continuously to maintain sharp cutting edges and run cool
• Rigid, reinforced, resin-bonded construction supports use on stainless steel and mild steel
• Reformulated composition improves wheel balance and action compared to Cubitrona II generation
• 36 plus grit rating delivers aggressive stock removal with extended wheel life

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel and mild steel substrates in cutting, grinding, and gouging applications where a dual-purpose abrasive wheel is required.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of abrasive wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting, and never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Ensure the grinder guard is in place and secure before operation, and wear appropriate PPE including face shield and gloves.
