Value Collection BD3048 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4in 24 Grit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3048 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal and fabrication surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a coarse 24-grit rating, this wheel delivers fast stock removal on steel and ferrous metals. The resinoid bond holds the abrasive grain firmly during heavy-duty grinding, and the hard (R) hardness rating extends wheel life under sustained load. Rated to 15,300 maximum RPM, it fits standard 4-inch angle grinders with a 5/8-inch arbor connection. At 1/4-inch thick, it is suited for surface grinding and weld blending rather than cutting.

This wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, welding environments, and maintenance applications where coarse surface grinding or weld removal is required. The Type 27 depressed-center profile allows clearance for flat and contoured surface work. It is a common choice for ironworkers, pipefitters, welders, and general maintenance trades working on structural steel, pipe, and plate stock.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4-inch angle grinders accepting a 5/8-inch arbor, commonly used in metal fabrication, welding, and structural maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This wheel should be installed and operated by qualified tradespeople familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always confirm the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's 15,300 RPM maximum before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels, and always wear appropriate PPE including a face shield.
