Value Collection BD3051 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3051 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. Built with an aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, this wheel delivers consistent cut rates on ferrous metals including steel and iron. It runs at a maximum of 18,000 RPM and mounts via a 3/8-inch arbor connector, making it compatible with small right-angle grinders commonly used in fabrication, maintenance, and field repair work. At 3 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick, it is sized for tight-access grinding where larger wheels cannot reach.

This wheel is suited for professional trades work including structural steel fabrication, weld dressing, surface conditioning, and deburring in both shop and field environments. The compact 3-inch diameter makes it a practical choice for electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians who need a small-format grinding wheel for angle grinders in confined spaces or close-tolerance work.

Key Features

• Type 27 depressed center profile for flat and flush surface grinding
• Aluminum oxide abrasive for efficient stock removal on ferrous metals
• Resinoid bond for durability and heat resistance during grinding
• 18,000 RPM maximum speed rating for use with small high-speed angle grinders
• 3/8-inch arbor hole fits standard small angle grinder spindles
• 3-inch diameter and 1/4-inch thickness for access in tight work areas

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grinding wheel for small right-angle grinders accepting a 3/8-inch arbor and rated for Type 27 depressed center wheels at 18,000 RPM or higher.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of grinding wheels must comply with ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the grinder manufacturer's guard and speed requirements. Always verify the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during grinding operations.
