Value Collection BD3068 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 5 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3068 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. It measures 5 inches in diameter with a 1/16-inch thickness and accepts a 7/8-inch arbor. The resinoid bond holds aluminum oxide abrasive grain in a configuration rated to 12,200 RPM maximum. This wheel is used by fabricators, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance trades who need a reliable cutoff or grinding disc for angle grinder work. The arbor connector type makes mounting straightforward on standard right-angle grinders.

This wheel fits typical angle grinder applications in fabrication shops, field welding, and general metalworking. Classified as both Type 27 and Type 42, it is suited for flat grinding and surface blending on ferrous metals including mild steel and structural iron. Its aluminum oxide abrasive makes it appropriate for general-purpose stock removal rather than specialty alloys. Trade professionals will find it a practical consumable for weld cleanup, edge grinding, and surface preparation tasks on job sites or in the shop.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive for general-purpose grinding on ferrous metals
• Type 27 and Type 42 classification for flat grinding and blending applications
• 12,200 RPM maximum rated speed for use with standard angle grinders
• 1/16-inch wheel thickness for fast cutting and reduced material drag
• 7/8-inch arbor hole with arbor connector type for secure grinder mounting
• Resinoid bond construction for consistent abrasive performance under load

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5-inch angle grinders accepting a 7/8-inch arbor. Verify that the grinder's no-load RPM does not exceed the 12,200 RPM wheel rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate above the marked maximum RPM. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during grinding operations.
