Value Collection BD3004 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3004 is a Type 1 (flat profile) aluminum oxide cut-off wheel engineered for aggressive cutting on steel. It measures 12 inches in diameter with a 3/32 inch thickness and a 1 inch arbor hole. The reinforced aluminum oxide abrasive is rated at 46 grit, making it suitable for fast, rough cuts rather than finishing work. Maximum operating speed is 5,100 RPM. The hardness code T and black wheel color are standard identifiers for this abrasive specification. Fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with steel stock rely on this wheel type for straight parting cuts on chop saws and stationary cut-off machines.

This wheel is intended for cutting steel in industrial, fabrication shop, and maintenance settings. The 12 inch diameter fits standard stationary abrasive cut-off saws that accept a 1 inch arbor. The 46 grit aluminum oxide construction suits carbon steel pipe, bar stock, structural shapes, and similar ferrous materials where material removal rate matters more than surface finish.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and perform a ring test per manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before changing the wheel, confirm the machine RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel maximum of 5,100 RPM, and ensure the arbor flanges are clean and correctly sized. Always use the appropriate eye protection and guarding when operating abrasive cut-off equipment.
