3M 7100313203 Cut and Grind Wheel 9 Inch 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100313203 Cubitrona 3 Cut and Grind Wheel is a dual-purpose abrasive wheel engineered for cutting and grinding on both stainless steel and mild steel. It uses 3M Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, a proprietary technology built around sharp, angular grain structures that continuously fracture to expose fresh cutting points. This keeps the wheel running cool and wearing evenly across its service life. The wheel is rigid, reinforced, and resin-bonded, measuring 9 inches in diameter with a 5/32-inch thickness and a 36-plus grit rating. It is installed and operated by metal fabricators, welders, and maintenance trades using standard angle grinders.

This wheel is suited for industrial and commercial metal fabrication environments where operators need a single abrasive to handle cutting, grinding, and gouging in one tool. Its reformulated wheel composition provides improved balance and smoother action compared to earlier Cubitrona II abrasives, reducing operator fatigue and rework on finished surfaces. Typical applications include weld preparation, weld removal, surface conditioning, and light stock removal on stainless and mild steel workpieces.

Key Features

• Dual-function design works as both a cut-off wheel and a grinding wheel
• Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain continuously fractures to maintain sharp cutting edges
• Rigid, reinforced, resin-bonded construction for use on stainless and mild steel
• Reformulated wheel composition delivers improved balance and smoother operation versus Cubitrona II
• Runs cool and wears evenly, reducing heat buildup and extending wheel life
• Suitable for cutting, grinding, gouging, and surface conditioning in a single wheel

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel and mild steel substrates with standard angle grinders accepting a 9-inch diameter wheel. Offers improved performance compared to the 3M Cubitrona II abrasive wheel.

Installation Notes

Angle grinder wheels must be installed and changed by qualified personnel following the grinder manufacturer's instructions and applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and unplug or lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel. Operators should wear appropriate PPE including face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during use.
