Bullard 53407 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 4.5in Metal 17000RPM

Product Description

The BULLARD 53407 is a Type 1 cut-off wheel engineered for use with angle grinders and circular saws in demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.040-inch thickness and a 0.875-inch arbor bore, this wheel operates at a maximum speed of 17000 RPM. The 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is formulated to cut faster, run cooler, and feed more freely than standard abrasive wheels, reducing the load on the tool motor. Licensed trades and metal fabrication professionals rely on this wheel for high-cycle cutting tasks where consistent performance and reduced heat buildup are priorities.

This cut-off wheel is suited for maintenance departments, welding shops, and metal fabrication facilities where repeated straight cuts in ferrous metals are required. The thin 0.040-inch profile minimizes material loss per cut and reduces binding. Its flexible bond construction is designed to resist breakage under stressful and binding conditions, making it a practical choice for field service work as well as fixed shop setups. Sold in box quantities with a minimum order of one box.

Key Features

• Type 1 flat profile for use on right-angle grinders and circular saws
• 0.040-inch thickness cuts faster and cooler with less motor load
• Flexible bond resists breakage under binding and stressful conditions
• 60-grit abrasive rated for ferrous metal cutting
• 17000 RPM maximum operating speed
• 0.875-inch arbor bore fits standard angle grinder spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a Type 1 cut-off wheel replacement for right-angle grinders and circular saws that accept a 4.5-inch diameter, 0.875-inch arbor wheel. Proper Type 1 flanges must be used when mounting on a right-angle grinder.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 and tool manufacturer guidelines. Always power down and disconnect the grinder or saw before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never exceed the 17000 RPM maximum speed rating. Ensure the correct Type 1 flange set is installed — using an incorrect flange on a right-angle grinder is a recognized safety hazard.
