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.
