Bsc Preferred DW8063 Abrasive Cutting Wheel 5 in A60T

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DW8063 is a thin abrasive cutoff wheel engineered for fast, burr-free cutting of metal and INOX (stainless steel) materials. Measuring 5 inches in diameter, 0.045 inches thick, with a 7/8-inch arbor bore, this wheel uses a proprietary aluminum oxide grain combination to deliver aggressive cutting action while minimizing heat buildup and burring at the cut edge. Two full sheets of fiberglass reinforcement are bonded into the wheel body for structural durability and operator safety under load. The A60T grit designation indicates a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive suited to ferrous metals and stainless. Fabricators, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians reach for this wheel when cut quality and throughput both matter.

This wheel is sized for 5-inch angle grinders and cutoff tools commonly found in metal fabrication shops, pipefitting, structural steel work, and general industrial maintenance. The thin 0.045-inch profile removes less material per pass, reducing friction and cutting faster through flat bar, tube, pipe, and sheet stock. Its INOX-rated formulation means it is safe to use on stainless steel without contaminating the cut surface with carbon or sulfur compounds, which is a requirement on food-grade, pharmaceutical, and pressure-vessel work.

Key Features

• Thin 0.045-inch wheel profile for fast, low-friction cuts with minimal burring
• Proprietary aluminum oxide grain combination for aggressive cutting action
• INOX-rated for safe use on stainless steel without surface contamination
• A60T abrasive specification for ferrous metals and stainless steel
• Two full sheets of fiberglass reinforcement for durability and safety under load
• 7/8-inch arbor bore fits standard 5-inch angle grinder spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch angle grinders and cutoff tools equipped with a 7/8-inch arbor. Suitable for cutting ferrous metals and stainless steel (INOX) in fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of abrasive cutoff wheels should follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the grinder manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never mount a damaged wheel. Ensure the grinder's rated RPM equals or exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM before operating. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during use.
