Value Collection BD3003 Cut-off Wheel 10in Type 1 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3003 is a Type 1 reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for straight cutting applications on steel. Measuring 10 inches in diameter with a 3/32 inch thickness and a 5/8 inch arbor hole, this wheel is rated to a maximum of 6000 RPM. The aluminum oxide abrasive grain is bonded to a reinforced fiberglass-backed disc, providing structural integrity during high-speed cutting. With a grit rating of 46 and a hardness code of S, the BD3003 delivers aggressive material removal suited to ferrous metals. Electricians, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance techs are the typical end users for this wheel type.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use on steel in fabrication, maintenance, and construction settings. Type 1 wheels — also designated Type 01 or Type 41 — are flat profile discs mounted on angle grinders or dedicated cut-off machines. The 10 inch diameter and 5/8 inch arbor hole suit larger bench-mounted or stationary cut-off saws rated for this size. Typical applications include cutting pipe, bar stock, structural steel, and sheet metal in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive, 46 grit, hardness code S — suited for aggressive steel cutting
• Reinforced construction for structural integrity at rated speed
• Maximum operating speed of 6000 RPM
• Type 1 flat profile for straight cutting on angle grinders or stationary cut-off machines

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel. Fits cut-off machines and angle grinders with a 5/8 inch arbor and a 10 inch wheel capacity rated to at least 6000 RPM. Verify machine guard and flange compatibility before mounting.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of abrasive cut-off wheels must be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting — never use a damaged wheel. Power down and disconnect or lock out the machine before changing wheels. Never exceed the 6000 RPM maximum speed marked on the wheel, and confirm the machine guard is properly installed before operating.
