Value Collection BD3056 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 4.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3056 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal and fabrication surfaces. Built with an aluminum oxide abrasive grain and a resinoid bond, this wheel delivers consistent cut performance across steel, iron, and similar ferrous materials. The 4.5-inch diameter and 1/8-inch thickness make it a standard fit for 4.5-inch angle grinders. It is rated to a maximum of 13,300 RPM and mounts via a 5/8-11 threaded hub, the industry-standard connection for grinders in this class. Fabricators, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly use this wheel for weld blending, surface prep, and stock removal.

This wheel suits general-purpose grinding in fabrication shops, field pipework, structural steel erection, and maintenance environments. The Type 27 depressed center profile positions the grinding face at an offset angle, allowing flat or flush work on surfaces without interference from the grinder body. It is appropriate for both light bench work and heavy material removal passes in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 and grinder manufacturer requirements. Always disconnect or de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the marked maximum RPM. Ensure the flange and guard are properly seated before operation.
