Dewalt DW8072 Masonry Thin Cut-off Wheel Type 1

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8072 is a bonded abrasive thin cut-off wheel engineered for cutting masonry materials. Rated as a Type 1 flat wheel, it measures 4.5 inches in diameter, 0.045 inches thick, and has a 0.875-inch arbor bore, making it compatible with standard 4.5-inch angle grinders. The thin kerf profile reduces cutting resistance and minimizes material loss, which matters on the job site when precision and speed are both priorities. Licensed tradespeople working in masonry, tile, concrete block, and related materials will find this wheel sized for one-handed grinder use in tight or overhead applications.

The DW8072 is suited for cutting brick, block, concrete, and similar masonry substrates in residential and light commercial applications. Its compact 4.5-inch diameter makes it a common choice for angle grinder work during rough-in and finish phases where larger saws are impractical. Electricians, plumbers, and masons cutting through masonry walls for penetrations will recognize this form factor immediately.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed with the grinder unplugged or the battery pack removed. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and never use a damaged wheel. Ensure the arbor nut is tightened securely using the proper spanner wrench and that the wheel guard is in place before operation. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating abrasive cut-off wheels.
