Details
Highlights
- Engineered to cut faster and last longer than competitive ceramic products
- 3M Precision Shaped Grain is self-sharpening, runs cool and optimises mineral breakdown for extra-long life
- Rigid, reinforced resin-bonded wheel slices through almost all materials
- Wheel must have a maximum operating speed greater than or equal to the maximum speed of the power tool used
- Must be used with a Wheel Guard that fits the size of the Cut-Off Wheel
3M™ Cubitron™ II Cut-Off Wheel contains 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain for an exceptionally fast cutting and long lasting wheel for use on almost all materials. Our cut-off wheels surpass other wheels in both performance and longevity, delivering significant gains in productivity.
Tips for Optimal Use
Unlike coated abrasive discs, which shape or sand objects using the disc surface, cut-off wheels provide perpendicular cuts, using the outer edge of the wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are typically used for cutting through metal, for example autobody or marine sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, exhaust pipes, clamps, and rusted fasteners. Cut-off wheels are attached to a cut-off wheel tool (sold separately) and must always be used with a wheel guard for safety.
3M™ Science and the Power of Precision Shaped Grain
3M™ Cubitron™ II products have raised the bar for high-performing abrasives. 3M Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) outcuts and outlasts conventional ceramic industrial abrasives and requires less grinding force to achieve superior performance. The result is that operators can grind faster and complete more parts per disc with less muscle-work and fatigue.
To create PSG, our engineers started with 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain and used proprietary technology to form the grains into triangular structures and electrostatically orient them on the backing to form sharp peaks that maximize cutting potential. These peaks slice cleanly through metal like a knife through butter, rather than gouging or plowing as traditional abrasives do, and continuously self-sharpen as the points break off. This generates a super-fast cut and lessens heat build-up due to friction, reducing heat-related stress cracks and discoloration.
PSG also wears evenly, and because the abrasive itself stays cooler and sharper, 3M™ Cubitron™ II products last significantly longer than their conventional ceramic counterparts, ensuring extended high performance in production applications.
Suggested applications
- For cutting through metal, such as autobody or marine sheet metal
- Use on stainless steel tubing, exhaust pipes, clamps and rusted fasteners
