Key Features & Benefits

• Ultra-thin 0.045" profile — fast material removal with minimal kerf and reduced waste.
• Proprietary aluminum-oxide abrasive — sharp, quick-fracturing grains for consistent cutting performance.
• Reinforced safety design — two full sheets of fiberglass for superior structural strength and reduced breakage risk.
• High RPM rating (up to 13,300) — built to withstand the speeds of modern 4-1/2" angle grinders.
• Type 1 (flat) profile — optimal for straight-line cut-off applications.

Applications

Ideal for heavy-duty professional tasks in metal fabrication, construction and automotive repair. Use confidently on:

• Carbon steel
• Stainless steel & nickel-based alloys
• Angle iron & rebar
• Heavy wall pipe & tubing
• Structural steel

Technical Specifications

Why Professionals Choose This Wheel

This disc balances speed and life: the ultra-thin profile reduces material removal and operator fatigue while the reinforced construction increases run-time and safety. Expect fewer wheel changes, cleaner cuts and faster project completion across repetitive metal-cutting tasks.

Safety & Usage Tips

• Always wear eye protection, hearing protection and cut-resistant gloves.
• Check the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting.
• Confirm your grinder's no-load RPM is below the wheel's maximum rating (13,300 RPM).
• Use the correct guard and follow grinder manufacturer instructions.
• Allow the wheel to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece; avoid lateral pressure that can stress a Type 1 disc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this wheel suitable for stainless steel?

Yes — the aluminum-oxide abrasive is formulated for aggressive cutting of stainless steel and similar alloys. Use steady, moderate feed rates to minimize heat build-up.

Can I use this disc on non-ferrous metals?

Yes — it cuts through many non-ferrous metals, but monitor for clogging and clean the wheel as needed.

What grinder arbor fits this wheel?

The wheel uses a 5/8"-11 arbor, which fits most standard 4-1/2" angle grinders. Always use the correct flange and nut when mounting.

How thin is 0.045" in practical terms?

0.045" (about 1.14 mm) is considered ultra-thin for cut-off discs — it delivers a narrow kerf and faster cuts while reducing material loss.
