Technical Features
- Aluminum Oxide Abrasive (A36T-BF spec): Provides consistent, controlled cutting action suited for ferrous metals without loading or glazing prematurely.
- Type 1 Flat Wheel Profile: Straight-face geometry enables precise cut-off work in tight or confined areas where angled wheels cannot reach.
- 3 in. diameter 1/8 in. thickness: Compact form factor reduces material waste and delivers narrow, clean kerf cuts on metal workpieces.
- 1/4 in. arbor size: Matches standard die grinder and air grinder chuck sizes for direct, tool-free-compatible mounting.
- 25,465 maximum RPM rating: Engineered to safely operate at the high rotational speeds produced by die and air grinders.
- ISO 9001 certified manufacturing: Confirms consistent quality control standards are applied throughout the production process.
Applications
- Metal cutting: Cuts through ferrous stock, pipe, rod, and sheet metal cleanly and efficiently.
- Metal abrasion: Removes surface material, burrs, and rough edges from ferrous workpieces.
- Body work: Suitable for automotive body panel cutting and fabrication tasks.
- Metal fabrication: Supports structural and custom fabrication work requiring precise, repeatable cuts.
- General repair work: Adaptable for maintenance and repair tasks across ferrous metal components.
Note: This wheel is designed for use on die grinders and air grinders only. For use on ferrous materials only. California residents: see Prop 65 warnings at P65Warnings.ca.gov. Wash hands after use.
