Product Specification
3" X .040" X 3/8" T1 PREMIUM THIN CUT-OFF WHEEL - 25 PACK
Benchmark Abrasives 3" x .040" x 3/8" T1 Premium Thin Cut-Off Wheels are built for fast, precise metal cutting when you want a narrow cut without giving up the reach of a 3" wheel. The thin .040" profile removes less material through the cut than thicker wheels, making it a strong choice for fabrication, repair, and maintenance work where cut control and efficiency matter.
Made with aluminum oxide abrasive grain, these flat Type 1 wheels are designed for cutting steel, stainless steel, and other approved metals. The 3" diameter gives you more cutting reach than a 2" wheel while remaining compact enough for tighter work areas, making this size especially useful for tubing, sheet metal, fasteners, and general metal fabrication.
The 3/8" arbor also makes this wheel versatile across compatible 3" cut-off tools and straight die grinders. Use it with the Benchmark Abrasives BM-M38_1 Cut-Off Wheel Mandrel for straight die grinder applications, including the Benchmark Abrasives Straight Pneumatic Die Grinder, when the complete setup meets the wheel, mandrel, speed, and guarding requirements.
Bottom line, these cut off wheels offer LESS cutting resistance for fast work, LESS work piece waste, LESS vibration, LESS burrs and sparks and LESS dust than the competition

Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible 3" guarded cut-off tools and straight die grinders that meet the wheel's diameter, arbor, speed, mounting, and guarding requirements.
For straight die grinder use, pair the 3/8" arbor wheel with the Benchmark Abrasives BM-M38_1 Cut-Off Wheel Mandrel using the correct 3/8" mounting option.
Compatible examples include:
-
Milwaukee® 2522-20 3" Compact Cut-Off Tool using the proper 3/8" mounting hardware, original guard, and flanges
-
DEWALT® DCS438 (20,000 RPM), using its 3/8" mounting setup and original cutting guard
-
Benchmark Abrasives Straight Pneumatic Die Grinder with the BM-M38_1 Cut-Off Wheel Mandrel and correct 3/8" mounting option
Always verify wheel diameter, arbor size, maximum RPM, mounting hardware, mandrel rating, and guard configuration before operation.
Safety Tips
- Use this wheel for cutting only. Never grind with the side of the wheel.
- Never exceed the wheel's 25,000 RPM maximum speed.
- Verify the rated speed of the complete tool, mandrel, and wheel setup before use.
- Always use the correct guard, flanges, mandrel, and mounting hardware for the machine.
- Inspect the wheel before use and do not operate cracked, chipped, damaged, or improperly stored wheels.
- Keep the wheel straight in the cut and avoid excessive side pressure.
- Do not force the wheel through the workpiece.
- Wear appropriate eye and face protection, hearing protection, gloves, and other PPE required for the application.
