Dewalt DW4518 Metal Cutting Wheel 4.5x0.125x0.875 in

Product Description

The DEWALT DW4518 is a bonded abrasive metal cutting wheel designed for general-purpose cutting of ferrous metals and mild steel. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.125-inch thickness and a 0.875-inch arbor bore, this wheel mounts on standard 4.5-inch angle grinders. The thin kerf profile reduces material loss during cuts and minimizes heat buildup at the cut line. It is a consumable grinding accessory used by electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general contractors for cutting conduit, rebar, structural steel, and sheet metal on the job site.

This cutting wheel is suited for use in light industrial and commercial construction environments where a compact 4.5-inch grinder is the standard tool. Typical applications include cutting threaded rod, pipe, angle iron, and flat bar stock. The 0.875-inch arbor bore fits the most common spindle size found on corded and cordless angle grinders in this class. It is sold individually and is intended for repeated single-use cutting tasks where wheel wear is expected with each cut.

Installation Notes

Cutting wheels of this type are installed and replaced by electricians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals. Always power down and unplug or remove the battery from the grinder before changing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and never operate a damaged wheel. Ensure the arbor nut is properly tightened using the manufacturer-supplied spanner wrench before use, and verify the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel rating.
