Value Collection BD3013 Type 1 Cutoff Wheel 3 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The Value Collection BD3013 is a Type 1 (flat-profile) aluminum oxide cutoff wheel designed for cutting steel in angle grinder and rotary tool applications. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 0.035 inches thick, this ultra-thin wheel minimizes material loss and heat buildup during cuts. The 1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard die grinders and small angle grinders used in fabrication, maintenance, and pipefitting work. At 60 grit with an S hardness code and an A60S specification grade, the wheel balances cut rate and wheel life on mild steel workpieces. Maximum rated speed is 25,450 RPM. Weighing 0.01 pounds, this is a lightweight consumable suited for frequent replacement in high-volume cutting environments.

This cutoff wheel is intended for cutting steel in both shop and field settings. Typical applications include cutting bolts, rods, pipe, sheet metal, and structural steel. The Type 1 straight-wheel profile is the standard configuration for right-angle grinders and pneumatic die grinders used by fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and general maintenance mechanics. The reinforced fiberglass construction adds burst resistance at rated speed. Sold individually, this wheel suits tool kits and job boxes where single-unit restocking is practical.

Key Features

• Type 1 flat-profile wheel fits standard right-angle grinders and die grinders
• Aluminum oxide abrasive with 60 grit and S hardness code for steel cutting
• Ultra-thin 0.035 inch thickness reduces kerf width and cutting heat
• 25,450 RPM maximum rated speed for safe use at common grinder operating speeds
• Reinforced construction for burst resistance during high-speed operation
• A60S specification grade — suitable for general-purpose steel cutting

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel workpieces with right-angle grinders and die grinders accepting a 1/4 inch arbor and rated for Type 1 cutoff wheels at or below 25,450 RPM.

Installation Notes

Cutoff wheels must be mounted and used only by personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and never exceed the maximum RPM stamped on the wheel. Ensure the grinder guard is in place and rated for Type 1 wheels before operation. Wear appropriate eye, face, and hand protection during cutting.
