Value Collection BD3015 Type 1 Cutoff Wheel 3in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3015 is a Type 1 (01/41) reinforced aluminum oxide cutoff wheel designed for cutting operations on steel. At 3 inches in diameter and 0.035 inches thick, this thin-kerf wheel delivers fast, controlled cuts with minimal material loss. The 3/8-inch arbor hole fits standard die grinders and rotary cutoff tools. Rated at a maximum of 25,450 RPM, the BD3015 carries a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive bond specification of A60S and a hardness code of S, indicating a firm wheel suited for ferrous metal cutting. Licensed tradespeople working in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical service will find this wheel appropriate for everyday cutoff tasks.

This wheel is suited for cutting steel in both residential and light commercial service environments. Typical applications include cutting threaded rod, conduit, pipe, bolts, and sheet metal. The reinforced construction provides structural integrity at operating speeds, making it appropriate for use in angle grinders and pneumatic cutoff tools that accept a 3/8-inch arbor. The compact 3-inch diameter is well matched to die grinders used in confined-space applications common in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Always verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,450 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and discard any damaged wheel. Use the correct arbor hardware supplied by the tool manufacturer to ensure proper seating. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required; follow ANSI B7.1 safe-use guidelines for abrasive wheels.
