Value Collection BD3021 Cut-off Wheel 3 in 36 Grit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3021 is a Type 1 reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel built for aggressive cutting on steel. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick with a 1/4-inch arbor hole, it runs at a maximum rated speed of 25,450 RPM. The 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers fast, controlled cuts on ferrous metal stock. This wheel is designed for use with small angle grinders and rotary cut-off tools in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical service environments. Tradespeople including pipefitters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general fabricators use this wheel for slotting, parting, and trimming metal components.

The BD3021 is suited for cutting steel in both shop and field applications. Its compact 3-inch diameter makes it compatible with smaller pneumatic or electric die grinders and cut-off tools commonly used in tight-access areas. Typical applications include cutting threaded rod, conduit, pipe, and structural steel in residential and commercial service work. The reinforced construction handles the lateral stresses common in handheld cutting operations.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of abrasive cut-off wheels should be performed by qualified tradespeople following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel machinery. Always verify that the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate eye and face protection and ensure all guards are in place before operating.
