Dewalt DW8723 Metal Thin Cut-off Wheel 4in A60T Type 1

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8723 is a bonded abrasive thin cut-off wheel designed for cutting metal in demanding trade applications. Built to Type 1 flat-wheel specifications, it measures 4 inches in diameter, 1/16 inches thick, and accepts a 5/8 inches arbor. The A60T abrasive grain designation indicates a 60-grit aluminum oxide bond optimized for fast, clean cuts through ferrous metals. At just 1/16 inches thick, this wheel removes minimal material per pass, reducing heat buildup and keeping cut lines tight. It is a standard consumable item used across metalworking, mechanical contracting, and general fabrication work.

This cut-off wheel is suited for use on small angle grinders with a 5/8 inches arbor in both residential and light commercial job site environments. Typical applications include cutting conduit, pipe, rebar, strut channel, and structural steel members where a controlled, narrow kerf is required. The 4 inches diameter makes it appropriate for compact grinders commonly used in confined spaces such as electrical panels, mechanical rooms, and tight framing bays. Metal fabricators, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians regularly use this wheel size for rough-in and trim-out cutting tasks.

Key Features

• Type 1 flat bonded abrasive construction for straight cut-off applications
• A60T grain specification delivers fast cutting action on ferrous metals
• 1/16 inches thickness minimizes kerf width and reduces material waste
• 5/8 inches arbor bore fits standard compact angle grinders
• 4 inches diameter suited for work in tight or confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or consumable cut-off wheel for compact angle grinders with a 5/8 inches arbor accepting 4 inches Type 1 wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation of abrasive cut-off wheels must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel or tool. Ensure the grinder guard is properly positioned before operation, and wear appropriate PPE including eye and face protection. Do not use this wheel for grinding side loads or lateral cutting forces.
