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

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8716 is a Type 1 (01/41) reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 4 inches in diameter with a 1/16 inch thickness and a 3/8 inch arbor hole, it spins at up to 19000 RPM on compatible angle grinders and cut-off tools. The 36 grit resinoid bond construction delivers fast, consistent cuts with minimal burr on ferrous and stainless applications. Hardness code T provides a balanced bond that holds up through repeated cuts without glazing. This wheel is sold individually and suited for professional use in fabrication, mechanical, and maintenance trades.

The DW8716 is intended for use on handheld angle grinders and cut-off tools in commercial and industrial environments. Typical applications include cutting structural steel, pipe, sheet metal, and stainless steel workpieces. It fits tools with a 3/8 inch arbor and is appropriate for fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics who require a thin-kerf wheel for clean, controlled cuts on metal stock.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed with the grinder unplugged or the power source locked out. Verify the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 19000 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Use the correct flange and arbor hardware specified by the tool manufacturer and ensure the wheel is fully seated and the guard is in place before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during use.
