Value Collection BD3049 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3049 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, this wheel handles grinding tasks on ferrous metals including steel and iron. At 5 inches in diameter with a 1/4-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor hole, it mounts directly to standard angle grinders. The wheel is rated to a maximum of 12,200 RPM, making it suitable for most 5-inch right-angle grinder applications used in fabrication, maintenance, and construction trades.

This wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, construction sites, and general industrial maintenance environments. The Type 27 depressed center profile keeps the grinding face elevated off the workpiece, allowing flat-surface and edge grinding without interference from the grinder body. It is installed and used by welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance mechanics who require a reliable grinding wheel for weld cleanup, surface conditioning, and stock removal.

Key Features

• Resinoid bond offers durability and resistance to shock loading during grinding
• 12,200 maximum RPM rating compatible with standard 5-inch angle grinders
• 7/8-inch arbor hole fits common angle grinder spindle sizes
• 1/4-inch wheel thickness suited for general-purpose grinding applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style Type 27 depressed center wheel for use with 5-inch angle grinders accepting a 7/8-inch arbor connection and rated to at least 12,200 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 12,200 RPM maximum rating stamped on the wheel before mounting. Disconnect power or remove the battery from the grinder before changing wheels, and confirm the arbor nut is properly torqued using the correct spanner wrench for the tool. Inspect the wheel visually for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel.
