3M 7100313206 Cut and Grind Wheel 7 Inch 36 Plus Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100313206 Cubitrona 3 Cut and Grind Wheel is a dual-purpose abrasive wheel engineered for cutting, grinding, and gouging on stainless steel and mild steel. It uses 3M Re-Engineered Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain, a proprietary molecular bonding technology built with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture to expose fresh cutting points. This design allows the wheel to run cooler, wear more evenly, and maintain consistent stock removal throughout its service life. At 7 inches in diameter with a 5/32 inch thickness and 36+ grit rating, it is suited for angle grinder applications in fabrication, maintenance, and field service work performed by metal workers, pipefitters, and general contractors.

This wheel is designed for use on both stainless steel and mild steel substrates, making it practical across a range of shop and field applications. Its rigid, reinforced, resin-bonded construction allows it to function as either a grinding wheel or a cut-off wheel without switching tooling. The reformulated wheel composition offers improved balance and smoother action compared to the earlier Cubitrona II line, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. It is well suited for weld prep, material removal, and surface conditioning tasks in fabrication shops and on job sites.

Key Features

• Dual-function design works as both a grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel
• Re-Engineered Precision-Shaped Ceramic Grain continuously fractures to maintain sharp cutting edges
• Runs cooler and wears evenly, extending usable wheel life
• Rigid, reinforced, resin-bonded construction for use on stainless and mild steel
• Reformulated composition improves balance and reduces vibration for smoother operation
• Improved cutting and grinding speed compared to the Cubitrona II generation

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel and mild steel substrates with standard angle grinders accepting 7 inch diameter abrasive wheels.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed and operated by qualified metal fabricators, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians using a compatible angle grinder rated for the wheel diameter and RPM. Always verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel before use. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel.
