Value Collection CA3083U31 Cut-off Wheel 3in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CA3083U31 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for fast, aggressive cutting on steel and ferrous materials. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick with a 3/8 inches arbor hole, it mounts directly on standard die grinders. The reinforced resinoid bond holds the 36-grit abrasive grain together under high rotational stress, and the wheel is rated to a maximum of 25,000 RPM. At 36 grit, it cuts quickly through steel stock, pipe, rod, and sheet metal without loading up. The black wheel carries a hardness code of R, indicating a firm bond suited for general-purpose ferrous cutting.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use with die grinders in both shop and field environments. It suits electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fabricators who need a compact cutting wheel for tight-access work — trimming threaded rod, cutting conduit, notching bracket material, or parting off small steel sections. The 3-inch diameter keeps the wheel maneuverable in confined spaces where larger angle grinder wheels cannot reach. The reinforced construction helps resist shattering under lateral load, which is critical when working in awkward positions on a job site.

Key Features

• 3 inches diameter and 1/8 inches thickness fits standard die grinder arbors
• 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive cutting on steel and ferrous metals
• Reinforced resinoid bond resists shattering under rotational and lateral stress
• 25,000 RPM maximum rating compatible with high-speed die grinders
• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel profile for straight, precise cut-off work
• Hardness code R provides a firm bond suited for general ferrous cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders accepting a 3/8 inches arbor hole and capable of operating at up to 25,000 RPM. Application is rated for steel per specification A36R US.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified tradesperson with the grinder unplugged or the air supply disconnected. Verify that the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum stamped on the wheel before mounting. Never use a cut-off wheel for side grinding or as a general-purpose grinding disc. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and discard any damaged wheel immediately.
