Dewalt DW8485 Pipeline Cutting Grinding Wheel

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8485 is a bonded abrasive pipeline cutting and grinding wheel designed for demanding metalworking applications in the field and shop. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1/8 inch thickness and a 7/8 inch arbor bore, this wheel is built for use on angle grinders where controlled material removal and cut quality matter. Pipeline contractors and fabricators rely on bonded abrasive wheels like this one to cut through steel pipe and clean welds without excessive heat buildup or wheel flex. The thin 1/8 inch profile reduces kerf width and allows for faster, cleaner cuts on pipe and structural steel.

This wheel is suited for pipeline work, structural steel fabrication, and general metal cutting and grinding tasks on job sites and in fabrication shops. It is commonly used by pipefitters, ironworkers, and welders who need a dependable abrasive wheel for both cutting and light grinding operations. The 6 inch diameter and standard 7/8 inch arbor fit a wide range of common angle grinders used in trade and industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement of abrasive wheels should be performed by qualified trade personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and unplug or lock out the grinder before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and confirm the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum rated speed. Use the proper flanges and never force the arbor fit.
