AbrasiveProducts

Introduction

Bonded abrasives consist of conventional abrasive

grains held together in a matrix of glass, resin, rubber

or other binders. As the wheel rotates at high speed in

operation and contacts the work-piece, the exposed

grains begin to cut away the material. The grains would

fracture continuously to expose new cutting points while

the material being worked on wears away the resin bond

to successively uncover fresh grains.

Our Products

The bonded abrasive products available from 3M are

the grinding discs and cut-off wheels.

The rigid grinding disc, also know as depressed centerwheel, is a durable, aggressive product for heavy-duty

stock removal applications while the flexible grinding

disc is a more conformable product which gives smoother

finishing and lower tool vibration during use.Both the rigid and flexible grinding discs have a

depressed center, which reduces the protrusion of the

mounting hardware from the grinding surface of the

disc, keeping it out of the grinding process, enabling

the disc to be use at a shallower angle. These flat

configuration depressed center discs are for use on

right angle grinders.

Typical applications include:

Weld grinding

Weld spatter removal

Descaling

Heavy deburring

Operations requiring rapid stock removal

Cut-off wheels are thin, blade-like bonded abrasives

design for cutting and slotting applications such as pipe

and bar stock cutting, sheet metal cutting and gate

removal. These wheels are to be used only on their

edge and must not be used for grinding operation with

the face. The smaller wheels can be used on both right

angle and straight shaft grinders with the appropriate

wheel guard while the large diameter wheels are for

use on chop saw equipment.

White aluminum oxide grains contain a very high purity

of aluminum oxide with an extremely low iron content.

It has higher hardness and slightly lower toughness as

compared to brown aluminum oxide grain. It is good for

use in applications where possible contamination to the

workpiece cannot be tolerated, such as in stainless steel

applications.

Aluminum oxide (brown), the most popular of abrasive

grains, excels in working high tensile materials, such

as mild steel. It is great for high speed penetration of

tough materials without excessive fracturing andshedding.

Abrasive Grains

3M offers three types of abrasive grains for the

grinding disc products:

1. Cubitron

2. White aluminum oxide

3. Aluminum oxide

For the cut-off wheels, the abrasive grains available

are:

1. Cubitron

2. Aluminum oxide

Cubitron is the premium grain product from 3M. It is an

advanced ceramic aluminum oxide mineral pioneered

by 3M that offers outstanding cutting power and excellent

durability. These remarkable features make the Cubitron

product best suited for stainless steel applications, where

it will show its great value.

General Safety Guidelines

Working with bonded abrasive products can be

hazardous to both the operator and bystanders. Serious

injury can be inflicted if a wheel is to break up during

use. In addition, sparks, dust particles, heat and noise

generated from the grinding/cutting operation are all

potential hazards, either by direct contact or through

long term exposure without the appropriate protection.

Read and follow the operating instructions for all

products and equipment before using/operating

them.Always wear safety glasses, gloves, hearing

protection, face shields and other appropriate

personal protective equipment when using bonded

products.

Check the maximum operating speed (MOS) stated

on the product and make sure that the operating

speed of equipment is NOT higher than the MOS.

Never use product on equipment that exceed the

MOS of the product.

Follow all safety operating procedures posted in

work areas.

3

When you see the Cubitron mark, you are getting a sol gel mineral (1) that sharpens as it wears.Initial grinding breaks away small edges of the grain (2). As grinding continues, micro-fractures

form (3) which break off to create fresh sharp edges for continued fast cutting (4). This process

repeats throughout grinding for long-term efficiency and full value for your abrasive investment.

Green Corps Flexible Grinding Discs

3M FLEXIBLE GRINDING DISCS

The 3M flexible grinding discs are type 27 depressed

center discs for use on right angle tools, specially

designed to have the flexibility of a fibre disc and the

versatility of a type 27 grinding disc.

This means that it is aggressive enough to remove

material just like a grinding disc, and at the same time,

flexible to give a smooth surface on contoured parts

without gouging!

Its unique 1/8 thickness feature also results in reduced

vibration and operator fatigue during operation.

The Green Corps flexible grinding discs contain 3Ms

patented, high performance Cubitron abrasive mineral.

The result is a disc that provides a higher cut rate and

lasts longer than competitive grinding discs.

They enable you to improve your production standards

for grinding and blending on a wide selection of metal,

especially on stainless steel.

!Do not use on tools without guards.
