3M Silver Precision Shaped Grain, 125 mm Diameter, 36+ Grit

3M Silver Series Abrasive Wheel, 125mm Disc Diameter, 36+ Grit Size - 51792

This abrasive wheel is a thin, high-speed disc designed for material removal tasks in industrial environments. It is intended for use on handheld angle grinders to perform cutting, sanding and metal removal operations where a slim profile and Rapid surface abrasion are required.

Features and Benefits:

• Precision-shaped grain for Faster stock removal and consistent finish 12,000 rpm maximum safe speed for high-speed cutting operations 36+ grit for aggressive material abrasion and efficient throughput 1.6mm thickness to enable a narrow kerf and reduced material loss 22.23mm bore to fit common angle grinder arbors

Applications

• Suitable for cutting thin metal sections in fabrication shops Ideal for deburring and edge dressing in mechanical assembly Used for Rapid surface preparation prior to soldering or bonding Can be used for trimming sheet components in electrical enclosures

What balancing or vibration characteristics can I expect?

The abrasive uses a shaped-grain construction that promotes even wear, which helps maintain stable rotation and reduces operator vibration during prolonged runs.

Which tool mandrel size is compatible with this disc?

It accepts a 22.23mm arbor, matching standard angle grinder flanges used in industrial settings.

How does the thin profile affect cutting performance?

The 1.6mm thickness produces a narrow kerf, lowering material loss and allowing quicker, more precise cuts in thin-section metals.

What abrasive grade is best suited for Rapid removal?

The 36+ grit specification delivers aggressive cutting action, optimised for tasks requiring fast material throughput rather than fine finishing.
