230 MM X 3 MM X 22.23 MM EN 3M™ CUBITRON™ 3 (CF. 50 PCS) T41 CUTTING DISC 36+ 87371
Power Without Compromise: Cubitron™ 3 Redefines Heavy Duty 230mm Cutting
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Cut-Off Wheel 87371 represents the pinnacle of technological innovation in industrial abrasives. Designed to take on the toughest challenges, this 230 mm, 3 mm thick wheel delivers 10% faster cutting speed and up to 3 times the stock removal rate of the Cubitron™ II series. Thanks to the re-engineered Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) , the ceramic tips constantly self-sharpen at the molecular level, ensuring a significantly cooler cut and pinpoint accuracy on all types of metal. Ideal for heavy industry, shipbuilding and the oil and gas sector, the 87371 is built to last up to 2 times longer than leading competitors, dramatically reducing operating costs and downtime.

3M™ Cubitron™ Cutting Disc 3 87371 – Ø 230 mm x 3 mm x 22.23 mm
3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Disc (ID 7100303832) is a Type 41 ultra-high performance bonded abrasive specifically developed for perpendicular cuts made with the outside edge of the disc. Drawing on over 100 years of 3M metalworking innovation, this next-generation disc is optimized for the most demanding industrial applications under harsh conditions.
Next Generation Benefits and Features
- Reengineered PSG Technology: Precision Shaped Grain ceramic mineral uses cutting-edge molecular bonding technology. The sharp, angular structures fracture in a controlled manner, continuously regenerating cutting edges for consistent stock removal and optimal disc wear.
- Superior Efficiency: Compared to the legendary Cubitron™ II series, this blade increases cutting speed by 10%, significantly reducing operator pressure and run time.
- Unsurpassed Performance: Designed to remove up to 3 times more material than Cubitron™ II discs, while lasting up to 2 times longer than the best competing discs on the market.
- Extra-Cool Cutting: Constant regeneration of the PSG grain minimizes thermal friction, preventing discoloration and structural damage even on the hardest and most heat-sensitive metals.
- Sturdy 3mm Thickness: The 3mm configuration provides greater stability and strength when cutting thick, heavy pipes and industrial profiles.

Applications and Sectors
The 87371 model is the gold standard for heavy-duty operations in the heavy engineering, oil and gas and transportation industries:
- Industrial Cutting: Stainless steel pipes, heavy ducts, large rods and profiles.
- Maintenance and Repair (MRO): Removal of clamps, rusted fasteners and casting slag.
- Compatible substrates: Stainless steel (Inox), non-ferrous metals and all hard metals.
Technical Tip: To fully utilize the potential of the Cubitron™ 3, use a powerful, robust 3M angle grinder capable of maintaining a constant speed under load. Never exceed the 6,650 RPM indicated on the disc.
3M™ Cubitron™ 3 is the direct evolution of Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) technology, redesigned to ensure an even more controlled fracture of the abrasive grain.
It is designed for high-intensity sectors such as heavy steelwork, stainless steel, shipbuilding, metalworking and robotic grinding.
The range includes fibre discs, grinding discs, cut-off discs and solutions for aggressive stock removal on alloy and high-strength steels.
Compared to Cubitron™ II, the Cubitron™ 3 line offers faster cutting, less heat build-up and up to 56% more material removed.
Choose it for consistent productivity, reduced vibration and significantly longer abrasive life.
Avoid excessive pressure: the grain works best with steady feed, exploiting the self-sharpening PSG geometry.
Technical tip: always use original 3M backing pads to keep the optimal working angle and maximise disc life.
