Value Collection BD3043 Cutoff Wheel 6 in Type 1 60 Grit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3043 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutoff wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 0.045 inches thick, this wheel mounts on a 7/8 inch arbor and is rated to a maximum of 10,200 RPM. The reinforced fiberglass construction at a 60-grit rating allows it to slice through ferrous and non-ferrous metals with controlled material removal. The flat, straight profile of the Type 1 (01/41) wheel geometry makes it suitable for use with right-angle grinders and cutoff tools in fabrication, maintenance, and field repair applications.

This cutoff wheel is suited for metalworking professionals including welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable consumable for cutting steel and stainless steel in both shop and field environments. The 6-inch diameter fits a range of 6-inch right-angle grinders and cutoff saws. The 0.045-inch kerf minimizes material loss per cut, making it practical for precision cuts on pipe, bar stock, sheet metal, and structural steel sections.

Key Features

• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel geometry for straight cutoff work on right-angle grinders
• Aluminum oxide abrasive at 60 grit for fast, consistent cutting on steel and stainless steel
• Reinforced fiberglass construction for added durability and operator safety
• 0.045-inch thin kerf reduces heat buildup and material waste per cut
• 10,200 RPM maximum speed rating for compatibility with standard grinder spindle speeds
• 7/8 inch center hole fits standard arbors on most 6-inch grinders and cutoff tools

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel and stainless steel applications. Fits right-angle grinders and cutoff tools with a 6-inch wheel capacity and a 7/8 inch arbor. Verify that the tool's rated RPM does not exceed 10,200 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Mounting and operation of cutoff wheels should be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Before mounting, inspect the wheel for cracks, chips, or damage and perform a ring test. Power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before changing wheels. Always use the appropriate wheel guard and personal protective equipment including eye and face protection during operation.
