Tech tip – Powering up for performance

Depressed Centre Grinding Wheels perform better the faster they run, so having a tool able to maintain speed is crucial.
The higher the tool power, the easier it can maintain speed, resulting in faster cut time and longer wheel life.
When the tool speed decreases, wheel wear typically increases.
Do NOT exceed the maximum operating speed listed on the wheel!

3M™ Silver Cut-off Wheels

See product details

The 3M™ Silver Cut-off Wheels are premium performance, affordable wheels designed for everyday use. Featuring 3M precision-shaped grain technology, these innovative wheels cut cool, to deliver fast, smooth cutting action on all types of ferrous metals, stainless steels and alloy steels.

3M™ Silver Cut-off Wheels cut up to twenty-eight percent faster than competitors.*
3M™ Silver Cut-off Wheels experience less wear and tear and last up to two times longer than competitors.*

Tech tip – Size matters

Wheel thickness affects wheel performance. The thicker the wheel, the longer the life and the slower the cut rate. When cutting thicker material, use a thicker and larger diameter wheel to maximize wheel life. Thinner wheels cut faster and wear faster. They also work better on thin gauge materials.

A Cut Above The Rest

3M™ Advanced Series Grinding Wheels represent a class of abrasives – powered by the legendary speed and long life of 3M™ Precision-Shaped Grain. They are an ideal choice for applications like weld removal, beveling, edge chamfering and more – offering a faster cut and longer life than aluminum oxide and alumina zirconia (AZ) wheels.*

3M™ Advanced Series Wheels - an unbeatable combination of performance and value.

3M™ Precision-Shaped Grain

These precision-shaped grains use 3M microreplication technology to form sharp peaks that easily “slice” through metal — cutting cooler and faster while lasting longer than conventional abrasive grains.*
Conventional Abrasives

Conventional ceramic abrasive grain tends to "plow" through the metal, causing heat to build up in the workpiece and the abrasive—resulting in a slower cut and a shorter life.*
