3M™ high performance cut-off wheel features 3M™ ceramic abrasive grain for high quality, fast cut and increased productivity and throughput. The specially formulated ceramic grain cuts cool, which makes it a good match for heat sensitive metals like stainless and mild steel. 3M™ high performance cut-off wheels are available in a few variations, including type 1 wheels and type 27 wheels. Type 1 wheels are straight wheels, whereas type 27 wheels have a depressed center. When used with abrasive tools and grinding guards, the Type 1 grinding guard has a closed face and the Type 27 grinding guard has an open face. Moreover, the Type 27 wheel is available with a quick-change attachment system, which makes for easy swapping of discs during a sequence. Type 1 wheels are typically used vertically, an example would be cutting table edges. Conversely, Type 27 wheels are often used horizontally for flush cut applications. Applicable in many industries, 3M™ high performance cut-off wheels are used on turbine engines, metal implants, plumbing fixtures, builders hardware, medical instruments and metal fabricated parts. For optimal performance, we recommend using these wheels with 3M™ cut-off wheel tools (sold separately). Given their thin widths, 3M™ high performance cut-off wheels cut quickly. Less material slicing through the substrate equates to a faster cut, so it's a good choice when rapid cutting action is desirable.
