Cut Off Wheel

DEWALT DW8062 4-1/2-Inch × .045-Inch × 7/8-Inch Metal and Stainless Steel Cut-Off Wheels — 25-Pack

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8062 cut-off wheel is designed for fast, controlled cutting through metal and stainless steel using compatible 4-1/2-inch angle grinders.

Each wheel measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter, .045 inch thick, and has a 7/8-inch arbor hole. The thin-wheel design helps produce fast, clean cuts with reduced burr formation, minimizing the need for additional grinding or surface preparation.

High-performance aluminum oxide grain provides aggressive cutting action across a wide range of metals. Two built-in sheets of fiberglass reinforce the wheel for added strength and help reduce the risk of breakage during proper use.

This contractor-size package contains 25 cut-off wheels, making it suitable for garage door installers, metal fabricators, maintenance departments, repair shops, and other professionals who frequently cut steel components.

Recommended Applications

These cut-off wheels are commonly used for cutting:

• Garage door tracks
• Punched angle
• Steel brackets
• Hinges and hardware

The thin-wheel design is intended for cutting and shallow notching. It is not designed for surface grinding, sanding, or side-loading applications.

Aluminum Oxide Construction

The aluminum oxide abrasive blend is engineered to cut a variety of metals efficiently.

A high concentration of abrasive grain supports aggressive material removal, while the thin wheel profile reduces the amount of material removed during the cut. This helps increase cutting speed and may leave a cleaner edge than a thicker grinding wheel.

The wheels are reinforced with two fiberglass sheets to provide additional strength and help reduce wheel breakage when used correctly.

Compatibility

These wheels are intended for compatible angle grinders that accept:

• 4-1/2-inch diameter wheels
• .045-inch-thick cut-off wheels
• 7/8-inch unthreaded arbor holes
• Type 1 cut-off wheels
• Accessories rated for at least 13,300 RPM

Always verify the grinder manufacturer’s requirements before installation.

Use the correct Type 1 cut-off-wheel guard and mounting flanges specified by the grinder manufacturer. Do not install the wheel on a grinder whose no-load speed exceeds the maximum RPM printed on the wheel.

Package Contents

• 25 DEWALT DW8062 metal and stainless steel cut-off wheels

Angle grinder, wheel guard, mounting flanges, wrench, batteries, charger, and other accessories are not included.

Operating Notes

• Inspect each wheel before installation
• Do not use cracked, chipped, wet, or damaged wheels
• Confirm that the grinder is disconnected from power before installation
• Install the correct cut-off-wheel guard
• Mount the wheel using the manufacturer-approved flanges
• Allow the grinder to reach full operating speed before beginning the cut
• Keep the wheel straight and aligned with the cut
• Avoid twisting, bending, binding, or applying side pressure
• Let the abrasive wheel perform the cutting without excessive force
• Secure the workpiece before cutting
• Keep sparks directed away from people and combustible materials

Excessive pressure or side-loading may damage the wheel and increase the risk of breakage.

Safety Information

Abrasive cut-off wheels rotate at extremely high speeds and may cause serious injury if improperly selected, mounted, or operated.

Always wear approved eye protection, a face shield, hearing protection, gloves, protective clothing, and respiratory protection appropriate for the material being cut.

Never use a cut-off wheel without the correct grinder guard. Do not use the side of the wheel for grinding.

Keep the work area free of flammable liquids, combustible materials, electrical wiring, pressurized lines, and other hazards. Recently cut metal and used wheels may remain extremely hot after operation.
