3M 86457 Ceramic, 125 mm x 1.3 mm Thick, 60 Grade, 60 Grit 25

3M 3M Cubitron 3 Cut-Off Wheels Series Cutting Disc, 125mm Disc Diameter, 1.3mm Thickness - 7100304304

This cutting disc is a thin, high-speed abrasive wheel designed for industrial metal cutting and weld preparation. It uses precision-shaped ceramic grain to deliver consistently Sharp cutting action and is intended for use with angle grinders operating at elevated speeds in fabrication and maintenance environments.

Features & Benefits

• Precision-shaped grain reduces cutting temperature and wear
  60 grit provides aggressive material removal for Faster cuts
  Rated for 11,500 rpm to match high-speed portable grinders
  1.3mm thickness balances speed and service life
  22.23mm bore ensures secure mounting on standard spindles

Applications

• Suitable for cutting 304 stainless steel sheets and plate
  Used for trimming and bevelling 1018 carbon steel components
  Ideal for weld removal and preparation in shipyards
  can be used in machinery manufacturing metalwork cells
  Suitable for high-volume cutting in automation plants

What abrasive technology enables Faster cutting?

A re-engineered triangular ceramic microreplicated grain forms Sharp peaks that Slice through metal, reducing heat build-up and extending wheel life.

How should the wheel be stored to preserve life?

Keep wheels in resealable, moisture-resistant packaging
protected storage can significantly extend usable life.

Which tool speed is appropriate for operators to maintain performance?

Use a grinder capable of sustaining speed close to the wheel’s maximum safe speed to reduce wear and improve cut rates.

What materials has this wheel been tested on?

Performance testing includes cutting and bevelling of 1018 carbon steel and automated cutting of 304 stainless steel under controlled force and tool configurations.
