Reinforced aluminum oxide cutoff wheel for handheld angle grinders. The thin .045" kerf removes less material per pass, which means the grinder spends its watts cutting rather than pushing - a clean, fast slice through steel rod, threaded rod, sheet metal, EMT, structural angle, and rebar with noticeably less heat blueing at the cut than a standard 1/8" wheel.

• 6" outer diameter, .045" thin-kerf, 7/8" arbor
• 10,150 max RPM - matches a 6" angle grinder or small cutoff tool
• Type 1 (flat) profile for straight cutoff work, not grinding
• Premium aluminum oxide grain in fiberglass-reinforced binder for steel, stainless, cast iron, angle iron, rebar, steel studs, and sheet metal
• Lower amp draw than a thick wheel - the grinder holds RPM through the cut
• Manufacturer Part Number: DBD060045101F

Selection Tip: 6" is the workhorse size for cutting larger structural stock - 1/2" rebar, 1" angle iron, full-thickness threaded rod, 1-1/4" EMT - where the deeper reach of the 6" disc clears the work in a single pass instead of flipping the part for a second cut. Pair with a 6" angle grinder (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Metabo); will not fit a standard 4-1/2" or 5" grinder guard.

Use Tip: Let the disc come to full RPM before contact, hold a steady angle, and use light pressure - pushing harder loads the disc and burns the binder. Cut on the back half of the wheel (not the leading edge) for the cleanest line, and never side-load a Type 1 disc; thin-kerf wheels are made for cutting only, not edge grinding.

Safety: Always use the guard, full face shield, hearing protection, and leather gloves. Inspect the disc for cracks before mounting; retire any wheel that has been dropped or that shows a chipped edge.
