Dewalt DW8425 Thin Cutting Wheel 5x0.045x7/8 Inches

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8425 is a bonded abrasive thin cutting wheel designed for fast, clean cuts in metal and related materials. At 5 inches in diameter, 0.045 inches thick, and with a 7/8-inch arbor bore, this wheel mounts to compatible 5-inch angle grinders and cut-off tools used daily in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical trades. The thin kerf profile reduces material loss and heat buildup during cuts, making it well suited for repetitive cutting tasks on conduit, pipe, strut, and sheet metal. At 0.17 pounds per wheel, it adds minimal rotational mass to the tool.

This cutting wheel is appropriate for trade professionals who need a dependable consumable abrasive for jobsite metal cutting. Electricians cutting EMT and rigid conduit, plumbers trimming steel pipe, and HVAC technicians cutting strut channel or sheet metal are the primary users. The 7/8-inch arbor size is the standard bore for most 5-inch angle grinders and cut-off tools, making this wheel compatible across a wide range of job-site power tools. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Installation Notes

Cutting wheels must be installed and operated by personnel familiar with angle grinder safety requirements. Before mounting, inspect the wheel for cracks or chips and confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM rating. Always install the guard supplied with the tool and wear appropriate PPE including eye and face protection. Never use a cutting wheel for grinding side loads, as thin bonded abrasive wheels are not rated for lateral force.
