Import BD3029 Cut-off Wheel 3 in Type 1 Aluminum Oxide 46 Grit

Product Description

The IMPORT BD3029 is a Type 1 (01/41) straight cut-off wheel designed for cutting ferrous metals and steel in trade and industrial applications. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter and 1/16 inches thick, with a 1/4 inch arbor hole that fits standard rotary tools, die grinders, and angle grinders. The abrasive matrix is aluminum oxide, reinforced for added structural integrity at speed. Rated to 25,450 maximum RPM, this wheel maintains safe operating margins on most handheld rotary tools. The 46-grit structure and T hardness code make it well suited for aggressive metal cutting where a clean, narrow kerf is required.

This cut-off wheel is intended for steel cutting applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade work where a compact 3-inch wheel is preferred over larger bench or angle-grinder discs. Its small diameter suits confined-space cuts on conduit, pipe, strut, and sheet metal. The reinforced aluminum oxide construction handles the heat and vibration typical of repeated cuts during a service call or installation job. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers who need a reliable, small-format cut-off wheel for light-to-medium steel cutting will find this wheel performs consistently across those tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of cut-off wheels should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,450 maximum RPM rating of the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye and face protection, and ensure bystanders are clear of the cutting plane.
