Value Collection CA2098U Cut-off Wheel 20in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CA2098U is a Type 1 (01/41) reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel built for heavy-duty cutting on steel. At 20 inches in diameter and 5/32 inches thick, with a 1-inch arbor hole, this wheel is sized for stationary cutting machines used in fabrication, maintenance, and industrial shop environments. The abrasive grain is rated at 36 grit with an R hardness code and a resinoid bond, delivering aggressive stock removal on ferrous materials. Maximum rated speed is 3000 RPM. The reinforced construction helps resist breakage under lateral load during cutting operations.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use with stationary tools such as chop saws and cutoff machines in industrial and fabrication settings. Its 20-inch diameter and 36-grit aluminum oxide construction make it well suited for cutting structural steel, steel rod, bar stock, and similar ferrous workpieces. Shops performing repetitive, high-volume cuts on steel benefit from the aggressive grit and rigid Type 1 flat profile. The wheel carries an A36R US specification designation.

Key Features

• Type 1 (01/41) flat profile for straight cutting operations
• 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive material removal on steel
• Reinforced construction for added resistance to breakage under load
• Resinoid bond with R hardness code for consistent cut performance
• 3000 RPM maximum rated speed for stationary tool compatibility
• A36R US specification designation

Compatibility

Designed for use with stationary cutting tools that accept a 20-inch diameter, 1-inch arbor hole cut-off wheel; rated for steel cutting applications per A36R US specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and de-energize the machine and confirm the spindle has come to a complete stop before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks, chips, or damage before each use and never operate above the 3000 RPM maximum rated speed. Use the proper flanges and arbor hardware specified by the machine manufacturer, and ensure the guard is properly reinstalled before resuming operation.
