Dewalt DW8716 Metal Thin Cut-off Wheel 4in Type 1 36 Grit

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8716 is a bonded abrasive thin cut-off wheel engineered for cutting metal in demanding trade applications. Measuring 4 inches in diameter, 1/16 inches thick, and with a 3/8-inch arbor hole, this Type 1 wheel is built for use on small angle grinders and rotary cut-off tools. The 36-grit bond provides aggressive, fast cutting action through mild steel, sheet metal, and similar ferrous materials. Its thin kerf design minimizes material loss and reduces heat buildup at the cut zone, making it a practical choice for fabrication, pipefitting, and general metalwork.

This cut-off wheel suits residential and commercial trade work where clean, controlled metal cuts are required. It is commonly used by pipefitters, ironworkers, HVAC sheet metal mechanics, and general contractors cutting thin-wall conduit, angle iron, steel pipe, and sheet stock. The Type 1 flat profile is the standard configuration for straight cut-off operations on compatible right-angle and die grinders.
