3M 88404 Ceramic, 230 mm x 2.5 mm Thick, 36 Grade, 36 Grit 25

3M 3MTM CubitronTM 3 Series Cutting Disc, 230mm Disc Diameter, 2.5mm Thickness - 7100303997

This cutting disc is a portable abrasive wheel designed for high-speed metal cutting in industrial settings. It uses precision-shaped ceramic grain to deliver accelerated material removal and extended service life while being suited to routine heavy cutting tasks in fabrication and maintenance environments.

Features & Benefits

• Precision-shaped grain reduces heat generation during cuts
  36 grit provides aggressive material removal and throughput
  11500 rpm maximum safe speed enables high-speed operation
  2.5mm thin section offers Faster cutting with a narrow kerf
  22.23mm bore fits standard 230mm angle grinders

Applications

• Suitable for cutting 304 stainless steel sheet and plate
  Ideal for separating 1018 carbon steel components
  Used for Rapid trimming in machinery manufacturing
  Suitable for weld removal and bevel preparation in shipyards
  Can be used in automation machine shops for metal fabrication

What abrasive material is used and how does it affect life?

The wheel employs precision-shaped ceramic grain which slices metal rather than ploughing it, reducing heat and increasing life compared with conventional ceramic abrasives.

Which tool speeds should be observed when using this wheel?

Do not exceed the maximum safe speed of 11,500 rpm and use a grinder capable of maintaining speed under load for consistent performance.

What bore size is required for mounting?

The wheel has a 22.23mm centre hole and is compatible with grinders accepting that bore dimension.

How is supply packaged for site use?

The product is provided in packs of 25 to facilitate continuous operations and minimise changeovers.

Which metals can be cut with this wheel?

It is suitable for stainless steels such as 304 and common carbon steels including 1018 for routine cutting tasks.
