Value Collection BD3036 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 4in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3036 is a Type 1 (01/41) reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for straight grinder applications on steel. At 4 inches in diameter and 1/16 inches thick, this thin-kerf wheel minimizes material loss during cutting while maintaining structural integrity under load. The 46-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers aggressive stock removal on ferrous materials. A maximum rated speed of 19,000 RPM makes it compatible with most standard 4-inch angle grinders and die grinders. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals in metal fabrication, HVAC installation, plumbing, and general mechanical work commonly use this wheel for cutting rod, pipe, and sheet steel.

This cut-off wheel is suited for use on steel in both residential and commercial job-site environments. Its 3/8-inch arbor hole fits standard 4-inch angle grinders. The reinforced construction adds burst resistance during high-speed operation. It is well-suited for cutting mild steel, conduit, threaded rod, and similar ferrous stock where a clean, fast cut is required. The hardness code T designation indicates a medium-hard bond that retains abrasive grain effectively through the cut cycle.

Key Features

• Type 1 (01/41) flat profile for straight cutting applications
• 46-grit aluminum oxide abrasive rated for steel cutting
• Reinforced construction for added burst resistance at speed
• 19,000 RPM maximum rated speed
• 1/16-inch thickness minimizes kerf and reduces cutting time
• Hardness Code T bond for consistent grain retention

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cut-off wheel for standard 4-inch angle grinders and die grinders accepting a 3/8-inch arbor, rated for use on steel per the A46T specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Always verify the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's 19,000 RPM maximum before mounting. Disconnect and de-energize the grinder before changing wheels, and inspect the wheel for cracks or chips prior to each use. Never exceed the marked maximum RPM and always use the appropriate guard.
