3M Cubitron 3 Ceramic Grinding Disc, 230 mm Diameter, 36 Grit, 36

3M Cubitron 3 Series Abrasive Wheel, 230mm Disc Diameter, 36 Grit size - 7100303979

This abrasive wheel is a portable, heavy-duty grinding and cutting tool designed for use on metal in industrial settings. It employs precision‑shaped ceramic grain to improve cutting efficiency and longevity, and is intended for high-demand tasks such as weld removal, bevelling preparation and general metal fabrication. The wheel is constructed for use with angle grinders and similar portable bonded tools.

Features & Benefits

• Precision‑shaped ceramic grain gives Faster metal removal
  Re‑engineered grain composition extends usable wheel life
  Reduced heat generation for cooler cutting performance
  Lower operator vibration for improved handling comfort
  Compatible with common angle‑grinder mounting systems

Applications

• Suitable for weld grinding and weld preparation on steel
  Ideal for bevelling and chamfering metal edges
  Used for Rapid material removal in fabrication lines
  Can be used for heavy‑duty surface preparation on machinery
  Suitable for shipyard and large‑structure metalwork

What is the recommended operating context for the wheel?

Use it on portable grinders for heavy grinding and cutting of ferrous metal components where high removal rates are required.

How does the abrasive composition affect process efficiency?

The triangular, precision‑shaped ceramic grain slices metal rather than ploughing, which reduces cutting time and conserves abrasive mass during extended use.

Are there packaging or storage considerations to extend life?

Keeping wheels in resealable, moisture‑resistant packaging helps preserve abrasive performance and can substantially prolong usable life.

How does this wheel impact noise and vibration exposure?

Tests show reduced hand to ARM vibration and lower noise levels compared with conventional ceramic‑bonded wheels, improving operator exposure during repetitive tasks.
