Value Collection CA3042U41 Cut-off Wheel 3in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CA3042U41 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive, narrow-kerf cutting on steel. At 3 inches in diameter and 1/16 inch thick, it produces clean, controlled cuts with minimal material loss. The 46-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is reinforced for added safety at speed, and the wheel is rated to a maximum of 25,000 RPM. A 1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard die grinder mandrels. Hardness code T provides a balance of wheel life and cut rate suited to ferrous metals in light fabrication and maintenance work.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use with die grinders in applications involving steel cutting, slotting, and deburring. It suits trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical fields who need a compact, high-speed cut-off wheel for tight-access or precision cutting tasks. The 3 inch diameter is well matched to die grinder work where a larger wheel is impractical. Specification A46T US indicates compliance with standard abrasive product grading conventions used in industrial supply.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be mounted and operated by personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always verify the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel maximum of 25,000 RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Use appropriate eye protection, gloves, and guarding in accordance with ANSI B7.1 and applicable workplace safety codes.
