Value Collection BD3047 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3047 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. Built with an aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded in a resinoid matrix, it delivers consistent cutting action and durability across a range of grinding applications. The wheel measures 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor hole. A maximum rated speed of 13,300 RPM makes it compatible with standard 4.5-inch angle grinders. This wheel is a working tool for metal fabricators, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need reliable stock removal in the field or shop.

This depressed center wheel is suited for grinding welds, cleaning castings, beveling edges, and removing excess material from mild steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals. The Type 27 profile — with the raised hub and depressed grinding surface — allows better surface contact and operator control during flat and contour grinding tasks. It fits standard angle grinders equipped with a 7/8-inch arbor and is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it practical for stocking in a service van or shop supply room.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the rated maximum RPM. Ensure the arbor nut and flange are properly seated and torqued per the grinder manufacturer specifications before operation.
