3M Silver Depressed Grinding Wheels – T27

3M™ Silver Depressed Centre Grinding Type 27 wheels, designed to deliver an unbeatable combination of performance and value that delivers a fast and consistent cut during bevelling, slag removal, weld grinding and edge work on a variety of metals. 3M™ silver depressed centre grinding wheels represent a new class of right angle abrasives – powered by the revolutionary speed and long life of 3M precision shaped ceramic grain.

These discs are great for a number of metalworking applications, such as weld removal, beveling, chamfering and more. They also offer outstanding cutting performance, with faster and consistent cuts through pipes, tubes and sheets, its a disc you can rely on for your toughest cutting jobs.

Features and Benefits

• Designed for heavy grinding, bevelling and weld removal
• Suitable for used on a variety of substrates such as carbon steel and stainless steel
• Offers increased productivity
• Type T27
• Faster cuts
• Long life

Applications

3M™ Silver Depressed Centre Grinding Wheel is our type 27 wheel, designed to deliver an unbeatable combination of performance and value that delivers a fast and consistent cut during grinding and heavy stock removal on stainless steel, mild steel, aerospace alloys and more.

For aggressive grinding applications such as beveling, flame cut smoothing, weld grinding and edge work on a variety of metals use 3M™ Silver Depressed Centre Grinding Wheel. The wheel features our Precision Shaped Grain, which continually fractures into super-sharp points and edges that slice cleanly through metal, rather than gouging or ploughing as traditional abrasives do. This helps it to last significantly longer than conventional ceramic grain abrasives while maintaining a high cut-rate over its life. Use with tools and accessories designed for depressed center grinding wheels. For safety, always use on a tool with an approved guard, as per DIN EN 12413 for Bonded Abrasives.

Grinding and cut-off discs are designed to be fitted to angle grinders. Handheld angle grinders are a highly versatile tool, and are ideal for machining metal. These cut off discs are great for weld removals and cutting through metals like stainless steel, mild steel, aerospace alloys and more. This could occur in industries such as farm and construction, automotive, ship and boat building, aerospace, metal fabrication.

Would you be able to use these discs on wood?

These 3M Silver discs are not recommended to be used on wood, and are designed to be used on metals.

What’s the difference between 3M™ Silver Cut Off Discs and 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cut Off Discs?
3M™ Cubitron™ II Cut Off Discs offer superior qualities, with faster cut rate and longer life. These are available from RS.

What safety requirements should I observe?

When grinding metal or sanding, appropriate personal protection equipment should be worn. Gloves, eye protection and even respiratory protection are essential PPE for general purpose grinding and polishing applications.

For safe operation of an angle grinder, be sure you have participated in appropriate training and are aware of all safety advice relevant to the material you are working on.

3M XL-UW silicon carbide grinding wheels

Scotch-Brite™ compressed finishing discs with silicon carbide grit for staging and polishing on all metals (including stainless steel and special steels). Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheels feature a soft, conformable consistency that effectively smooths, deburrs and finishes the edges of metal alloys, as well as many plastics and composites. There are a variety of densities and grades starting from a very soft 2 density for applications requiring conformability to a hard, aggressive 8 density for maximum cut and durability.

Features and Benefits

• Wheel edge can be dressed for effective deburring, finishing and polishing of all metal alloys and many plastics and composites
• Tough, layered, unitized construction can operate clockwise or counterclockwise directions
• Conformability allows abrasive to stay in contact with complex-shaped parts in robotic processing
• Densities and grades ranging from soft and conformable to hard and aggressive offer utility for a wide variety of applications
• Resists smearing for cleaner surfaces and less preparation
• Minimizes heat build-up to lessen impact on heat-sensitive materials

Applications

With a wide range of conformability options and high consistency, long-lasting Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives are a great option for robotic deburring. Scotch-Brite™ EXL Unitized Wheel quickly removes burrs and sharp edges in end-of-arm tooling operations, delivering consistent performance through the full life of the abrasive.
