Value Collection BD3050 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 7in Ao

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3050 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 7-inch wheel delivers consistent cut rate and durability across a range of grinding applications. It is rated to a maximum of 8,600 RPM and mounts via a standard 5/8-11 threaded hub, making it compatible with most angle grinders used in the trade. At 1/4 inch thick, it is suited for stock removal rather than cutting or notching. Fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance welders are the primary users of this wheel type.

This wheel is used in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, pipe fitting, and on-site weld dressing. It handles ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron in both shop and field environments. The Type 27 depressed center profile provides clearance for flat surface and bevel grinding, reducing interference between the guard and the work surface. Typical applications include weld bead removal, surface prep before coating, and deburring of flame-cut edges.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel use. Verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the wheel maximum RPM rating before mounting. Ensure the wheel, blotter, and flanges are properly seated and the retaining nut is tightened to the tool manufacturer specification before powering on. Always use the appropriate guard and personal protective equipment during operation.
