3M 7100313201 Cubitrona 3 Cut-off Wheel 6 in 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100313201 is the Cubitrona 3 Cut-Off Wheel, a 6-inch diameter, 0.045-inch thick abrasive wheel engineered for high-speed perpendicular cutting across a wide range of metals. It uses 3M Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, a proprietary molecular bonding technology that produces sharp, angular structures designed to fracture continuously, forming fresh cutting points that wear evenly and run cool. Rated at 60 plus grit, this wheel is built for trade professionals in metalworking, fabrication, autobody, marine, and exhaust service who demand fast material removal with extended wheel life.

This cut-off wheel is suited for cutting stainless steel, mild steel, aerospace alloys, autobody and marine sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, exhaust pipes, clamps, and rusted fasteners. It is designed for use on angle grinders in both shop and field environments where frequent cutting and minimal wheel changeovers are required. The 0.045-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut, making it well-suited for precision stock removal as well as production cutting workflows.

Key Features

• Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain fractures to continuously expose sharp cutting points, reducing heat buildup and extending wheel life
• Delivers up to 10% faster cut rate compared to the Cubitrona II Performance Abrasive line
• Removes up to 3 times more material per wheel versus Cubitrona II Performance Abrasives, reducing changeover frequency
• 6-inch diameter with 0.045-inch thickness optimized for perpendicular cuts using the outer wheel edge
• Compatible with stainless steel, mild steel, aerospace alloys, sheet metal, tubing, exhaust components, and corroded fasteners
• 60 plus grit rating balances cut speed with surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard angle grinders accepting 6-inch diameter cut-off wheels. Suitable for cutting stainless steel, mild steel, aerospace alloys, autobody sheet metal, marine sheet metal, stainless tubing, exhaust pipes, clamps, and rusted fasteners as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be mounted by a qualified operator following the grinder manufacturer's guard and flange requirements. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate above the wheel's rated maximum RPM. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves. Work in a well-ventilated area when cutting stainless steel or coated metals to limit fume exposure.
