Value Collection BD3034 Cut-off Wheel 3 Inches 36 Grit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3034 is a Type 1 reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for straight cutting applications on steel. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick with a 3/8 inch arbor hole, this wheel mounts on angle grinders and rotary cut-off tools commonly used in fabrication, pipefitting, and general metalwork. The 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers aggressive material removal on ferrous metals, while the reinforced construction supports operation up to 25,450 RPM. The A36T specification indicates a medium-hard bond grade suitable for controlled, efficient cuts on structural steel and tubing.

This cut-off wheel is suited for trade professionals working in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general fabrication where precise, clean cuts on steel stock are required. It fits compact angle grinders and die grinders that accept a 3/8 inch arbor, making it a practical choice for tight-space work on conduit, pipe, threaded rod, and light structural members. The Type 1 flat profile is the standard geometry for straight through-cuts.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed and used by electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians on portable angle grinders or rotary cut-off tools. Always verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,450 RPM maximum rating of the wheel before use. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting, and ensure the arbor hole seats flush against the tool flange with the proper guard in place. Follow applicable ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel use and personal protective equipment.
