Bullard 24438 Type 27 Cutoff Grinding Wheel 4-1/2 in

Product Description

The BULLARD 24438 is a Type 27 depressed-center combination cutting and grinding wheel designed for pipeline and fabrication applications. Built to handle both cut-off and light grinding tasks in a single setup, this Turbo Pipeline wheel eliminates the need to swap wheels mid-job. The 4-1/2-inch diameter with a 5/8-11 arbor mount fits most standard angle grinders used in the field. A 1/8-inch thickness balances cutting speed with enough body for controlled light grinding passes. Licensed tradespeople and pipefitters working in tight or demanding positions will find the wheel gives consistent control throughout both operations.

This wheel is suited for combination cutting and light grinding work in pipeline, structural steel, and general metal fabrication environments. The Turbo design supports smooth material removal during grinding passes while maintaining clean cut performance, making it well-matched for field welding prep, pipe fitting, and maintenance work where changing tools between operations is not practical. It is sold by the box and targets professional trades working with carbon steel and similar metals in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator following grinder and abrasive wheel safety procedures. Always power down and unplug or de-energize the angle grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use and confirm the grinder spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the wheel maximum RPM rating. Use the appropriate guard as required by OSHA abrasive wheel standards.
