Highlights
Coolant: water oil emulsion
Offers balance between form retention and cut rate
Performs well on carbides, high speed steels and hard metals
Resin bond construction with 100 mesh diamond mineral
Typically used on the cutting end of the tool when re-grinding and the shank end when forming a blank
The 3M Cut-Off Wheel 654BK is a general purpose cut-off wheel for carbide tool manufacturing. With a highly concentrated diamond abrasive mineral, solid construction and a steel core, it is commonly used for trimming tool blanks on carbides, high speed steels and hard metals.
Go-to Wheel for Cutting Tools
One of our "go-to" wheels, the 3M™ Cut-Off Wheel 654BK strikes a balance between form retention and cut rate. It is designed to retain form under use. This cut-off wheel features a steel core. The steel core allows the use of smaller wheel flanges and it improves the lateral stability of the cut-off wheel. The resin bond is designed for use with a water-based coolant.
This wheel conforms to the 1A1R shape and is 6 inches in diameter, 0.35 inches thick and the arbor hole is 1-1/4 inches.
Recommended Applications
This cut-off wheel is an outstanding choice for cutting carbide blanks to length or trimming off the damaged ends of end mills and drill bits prior to re-sharpening. Many other wheel configurations are available.
