Dewalt DW8720 Metal Thin Cut-off Wheel 4in A60T Type 1

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8720 is a bonded abrasive thin cut-off wheel designed for cutting metal in demanding trade applications. Measuring 4 inches in diameter by 0.035 inches thick with a 0.375-inch arbor bore, this Type 1 flat wheel uses an A60T aluminum oxide grain for aggressive, clean cuts through ferrous metals. Its thin profile reduces material loss at the cut line and minimizes heat buildup during repeated passes. Electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians reach for this wheel when cutting conduit, threaded rod, pipe, and sheet metal with a small-diameter angle grinder or cut-off tool.

This cut-off wheel is suited for light-duty to medium-duty metal cutting tasks common in residential and commercial trade work. Typical applications include cutting steel conduit, iron pipe, steel strut channel, and metal fasteners. The 4-inch diameter makes it compatible with standard 4-inch angle grinders and cut-off tools used on the job site or in the shop. The A60T grain designation indicates a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive, balancing cut speed with wheel longevity on mild steel and similar metals.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safe-use requirements for abrasive wheels. Always power down and unplug or lock out the tool before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel. Wear appropriate eye, face, and hand protection during cutting operations.
