Dewalt DW8712 Cut Off Wheel 3x0.035x3/8 in A60T Metal Thin Cut

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8712 is a thin cut-off wheel designed for cutting metal in angle grinder applications. Measuring 3 inches in diameter, 0.035 inches thick, and carrying a 3/8-inch arbor hole, this wheel uses an A60T abrasive specification — a 60-grit aluminum oxide bond suited for ferrous and light non-ferrous metal cutting. Its thin profile reduces kerf width and minimizes heat buildup at the cut zone, which helps preserve workpiece integrity. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general trade contractors reach for thin cut-off wheels when working with conduit, pipe, threaded rod, and sheet metal in the field.

This wheel is intended for use on small angle grinders accepting a 3/8-inch arbor. At 3 inches in diameter, it is well-suited for tight-clearance cuts on small-diameter pipe, conduit, and metal strut. The A60T designation indicates a medium-fine aluminum oxide grain structure appropriate for controlled, clean cuts on steel and similar metals. It is sold individually and is a common consumable stocked by trade professionals for maintenance, repair, and installation work.

Key Features

• 3-inch diameter fits small angle grinders with 3/8-inch arbor
• 0.035-inch thin profile reduces kerf and heat at the cut
• A60T aluminum oxide abrasive for clean cuts on ferrous metals
• Single-wheel packaging for flexible, as-needed restocking
• Designed for field use on conduit, pipe, threaded rod, and sheet metal

Compatibility

Designed for use with small angle grinders that accept a 3/8-inch arbor and are rated for 3-inch diameter cut-off wheels. Verify grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the wheel before use.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be installed and used by personnel familiar with angle grinder safety practices. Always confirm the grinder is unplugged or the power source is de-energized before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Use the proper arbor flange and guard for the wheel size — never operate without the grinder guard in place.
