PRODUCT FAQ
-
What types of materials can I cut with the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Cut-Off Wheel, 90048?
Great question! The Cubitron™ 3 Cut-Off Wheel is specially engineered for cutting a wide range of metals, including mild steel and stainless steel. It’s perfect for both tough industrial jobs and everyday metalworking tasks.
-
What makes the Cubitron™ 3 wheel different from other cut-off wheels?
Absolutely! The big difference is our Precision-Shaped Grain technology—it continuously fractures to form sharp points that slice through metal faster and help extend wheel life. That means you get superior performance, cool cuts, and less operator fatigue!
-
Is this wheel compatible with my standard angle grinder?
Yes! As long as your angle grinder accepts a Type 27 (T27) disc in the size specified—6 inches diameter with a 7/8 inch center hole—you’re all set. Just double-check your tool specifications to be sure everything fits safely.
