Diablo DCW030CAR101F Cutoff Wheel 3 in Carbide Grit

Product Description

The DIABLO DCW030CAR101F is a 3-inch Type 1 (01/41) carbide grit cutoff wheel designed for cutting plastic and wood. It mounts on a 3/8-inch arbor and runs at a maximum rated speed of 20,000 RPM. The steel disc body provides a rigid backing that supports clean, straight cuts in non-metallic materials. At 0.0709 inches thick, the wheel delivers precise kerf geometry suited for detail cutoff work. This wheel is installed by carpenters, remodelers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need a small-diameter cutoff solution compatible with right-angle grinders and rotary cutoff tools.

This cutoff wheel is sized for compact right-angle grinders and rotary tools that accept a 3/8-inch arbor. Typical applications include cutting plastic conduit, PVC trim, wood dowels, and similar non-metallic workpieces where a small 3-inch wheel provides better access and control than larger discs. The carbide grit abrasive is suited for materials that would load or glaze a conventional aluminum oxide or silicon carbide wheel. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement or add-on stock item for job-site and service van inventories.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed with the tool unplugged or the battery pack removed. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting; never use a damaged wheel. Ensure the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 20,000 RPM rating stamped on the wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel mounting, including the use of appropriate flanges and guards.
