Dewalt DW8718 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 4 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8718 is a Type 1 (01/41) reinforced aluminum oxide cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 4 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick, this wheel fits standard angle grinders and cut-off tools. The 24-grit aluminum oxide abrasive with resinoid bond delivers fast, controlled cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. Rated to 19,000 RPM maximum, it handles the demands of high-speed grinders used in fabrication, maintenance, and field service work. The hardness code R designation indicates a firm bond suited for cutting rather than grinding. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working in industrial and commercial settings will find this wheel a reliable consumable for everyday cut work.

This cut-off wheel is suited for cutting steel and stainless steel in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, construction sites, and field service environments where an angle grinder or dedicated cut-off tool is part of the standard toolkit. The 3/8-inch arbor hole fits the majority of 4-inch angle grinders. Its Type 1 flat profile keeps cuts straight and minimizes deflection during use.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be mounted and used by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards. Always power down and unplug or lock out the tool before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
