Dewalt DW8436 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 5 in 24 Grit

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8436 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for heavy material removal on angle grinders. It measures 5 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick, with a 5/8-11 threaded arbor hole. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide with a 24-grit, very coarse grade and a resinoid bond. The hardness code is R, indicating a hard wheel well suited to aggressive grinding on ferrous metals and weld seam removal. Rated to 12,200 RPM maximum, it fits standard 5-inch angle grinder applications. This wheel is sized and spec'd for professional trades requiring fast stock removal in fabrication, construction, and maintenance work.

The DW8436 is suited for metal grinding tasks in residential and commercial construction, steel fabrication shops, and field maintenance. Typical applications include weld dressing, surface preparation, and burr removal on carbon steel and similar ferrous materials. The coarse 24-grit rating prioritizes material removal rate over finish quality, making it the right choice when speed of cut matters more than surface smoothness. It installs on any 5-inch angle grinder with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle.

Key Features

• Type 27 depressed center profile keeps the grinding face at the correct angle for flat-surface work
• 24-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers very coarse, aggressive stock removal
• Resinoid bond with hardness code R provides a hard, durable wheel structure
• 5/8-11 threaded connector fits the standard angle grinder spindle size
• 12,200 RPM maximum speed rating covers common 5-inch grinder operating speeds
• Specification code A24R identifies abrasive type, grit, and bond for cross-referencing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch angle grinders equipped with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle. Always confirm the grinder's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds 12,200 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Disconnect and lock out the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and perform a ring test where applicable. Never exceed the 12,200 RPM maximum speed rating marked on the wheel.
