Dewalt DW8711 Thin Cut-off Wheel 3in A60T Metal Type 1

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8711 is a bonded abrasive thin cut-off wheel designed for cutting metal in demanding trade and jobsite applications. Measuring 3 inches in diameter by 1/16 inches thick with a 3/8-inch arbor bore, this Type 1 wheel delivers a narrow kerf that reduces material loss and heat buildup during cuts. The A60T abrasive grain specification indicates a 60-grit aluminum oxide bond suited for ferrous metal cutting. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general tradespeople reach for wheels like this when cutting conduit, pipe, threaded rod, and structural steel with an angle grinder or rotary cut-off tool.

This wheel is appropriate for light-duty metal cutting tasks across residential and commercial jobsites. Its compact 3-inch diameter makes it well suited for use with small die grinders and compact cut-off tools where larger wheels will not fit. Typical applications include cutting steel pipe, EMT conduit, unistrut channel, sheet metal, and small-diameter bar stock. The thin 1/16-inch profile minimizes drag and allows fast, clean cuts on thin-wall material.

Key Features

• Type 1 flat wheel profile for straight cut-off work
• A60T bonded abrasive — 60-grit aluminum oxide grain for metal cutting
• 1/16-inch thickness delivers narrow kerf and reduced heat buildup
• 3/8-inch arbor bore fits standard compact cut-off tools and die grinders
• 3-inch diameter for use in confined spaces and with small rotary tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard consumable for 3-inch compact cut-off tools and die grinders accepting a 3/8-inch arbor. Verify maximum RPM rating of the tool against the wheel rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by the tool operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect the tool before mounting or changing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never mount a damaged wheel. Ensure the tool spindle speed does not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel.
