Dewalt DW8709 Metal Thin Cut-off Wheel 3x1/8x3/8 A24R

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8709 is a Type 1 bonded abrasive thin cut-off wheel engineered for cutting metal in demanding trade applications. Measuring 3 inches in diameter, 1/8 inches in thickness, and with a 3/8 inch arbor hole, this wheel uses an A24R abrasive grain specification — a 24-grit aluminum oxide bond suited for aggressive cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is a straight-profile wheel, meaning it runs flush to the cut line without a depressed center, making it compatible with right-angle grinders and rotary cut-off tools configured for Type 1 wheels. Fabricators, pipefitters, ironworkers, and mechanical contractors use this wheel for fast, controlled cuts on sheet metal, pipe, rod, and structural steel.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use on portable right-angle grinders or cut-off tools rated for the appropriate RPM and arbor size. Typical applications include field cutting of conduit, pipe, threaded rod, angle iron, and sheet metal during HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical installations. The 3-inch diameter makes it well suited for compact cut-off tools used in tight spaces or overhead work. Minimum order quantity from the supplier is 50 units per order, making this item appropriate for shop stock or job-site supply orders.

Compatibility

Designed for use with right-angle grinders and rotary cut-off tools accepting Type 1 wheels with a 3/8 inch arbor and rated for the operating RPM of a 3-inch bonded abrasive wheel. Verify tool RPM rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

Mount and operate this wheel only on tools rated for Type 1, 3-inch abrasive wheels at or above the wheel's maximum RPM rating — always confirm compatibility before use. Power down and disconnect or de-energize the tool completely before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never use a damaged wheel. ANSI B7.1 and applicable OSHA abrasive wheel standards govern safe mounting and operation of bonded abrasive cut-off wheels.
