3M™ Silver Cut-Off Wheel, 87470, 36+, T27, 6 in x 0.045 in x 7/8 in, 25/Carton, 50 ea/Case

The 3M Silver Cut-Off Wheel is expertly engineered to deliver fast, efficient cutting through a variety of metal materials, including pipes, tubes, and flat sheets. Its robust design makes it an excellent choice for demanding production environments and a wide range of industries such as shipbuilding, rail, and general metal fabrication. Whether you are working on large-scale industrial projects or routine metalworking tasks, you can depend on this wheel to handle your most challenging metal cutting applications with ease and reliability.

At the heart of the 3M Silver Cut-Off Wheel is the innovative 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology. Unlike traditional abrasives that tend to gouge or plow through metal, these precision-shaped grains are engineered to continually fracture into sharp points and edges. This unique self-sharpening action allows the wheel to slice cleanly and efficiently through metal, resulting in a smoother cut and less heat generation. Additionally, this advanced grain technology ensures the wheel maintains a consistently high cut-rate and lasts significantly longer than conventional ceramic grain abrasives, reducing the need for frequent wheel changes and increasing productivity.

For optimal safety and performance, the 3M Silver Cut-Off Wheel must be securely attached to a compatible cut-off wheel tool, which is sold separately. It is essential to always use the wheel with an appropriate wheel guard to protect the operator from sparks and debris. Furthermore, the wheel should only be used at or below its maximum operating speed, which must be equal to or greater than the maximum speed of the power tool being used. Adhering to these safety guidelines helps ensure a safe and effective cutting experience.

The 3M Silver Cut-Off Wheel is part of a new generation of 3M abrasives that are designed to offer an exceptional balance of performance and value. Leveraging the renowned speed and durability of 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, these wheels are ideal for a broad spectrum of metalworking applications, including weld removal, beveling, edge chamfering, and more. Compared to traditional abrasives such as aluminum oxide, alumina zirconia, and other ceramic options, the 3M Silver Cut-Off Wheel delivers a longer operational life and a faster cut, making it a smart choice for professionals seeking efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their metalworking operations.
