Dewalt DW8426Z Thin Cutting Wheel 6x0.045x7/8 in

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8426Z is a bonded abrasive thin cutting wheel designed for fast, clean cuts in metal and other hard materials. Measuring 6 inches in diameter, 0.045 inches thick, and with a 7/8 inch arbor bore, this wheel mounts to compatible angle grinders and cutting tools for precision cutoff work. At 0.25 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable built for high-cycle use in fabrication, mechanical, and general trade applications. The thin kerf profile reduces material loss and heat buildup during cutting, making it a practical choice for professionals who prioritize cut quality and tool efficiency on the job.

This cutting wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, mechanical service bays, construction sites, and industrial maintenance environments. It is commonly used by pipefitters, ironworkers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a reliable cutoff wheel for conduit, pipe, sheet metal, and structural steel. The 6-inch diameter and 7/8-inch bore fit standard angle grinders used across the trades. Sold individually, it is well-suited for single-use replacements or stocking alongside existing cutting tool inventories.
