Diablo DBD045040115F Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 4.5in 60 Grit 15pk

Product Description

The DIABLO DBD045040115F is a Type 1 (01/41) flat cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 4-1/2 inches in diameter and 0.040 inches thick, this reinforced aluminum oxide wheel operates at a maximum of 13,280 RPM using a resinoid bond rated at hardness code R. The A60R BF INOX specification indicates the wheel is formulated for cutting iron- and stainless-free applications, minimizing contamination on stainless steel work. It arrives in a 15-pack, making it a practical stock-up choice for fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who run angle grinders daily.

This wheel is suited for metal fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and field service applications where both mild steel and stainless steel cuts are routine. The 7/8-inch arbor hole fits standard 4-1/2-inch angle grinders commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and structural trades. The thin 0.040-inch kerf reduces material loss and heat buildup during the cut, which is especially useful when working with stainless tubing or sheet stock where heat-affected zones matter.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive with resinoid bond for consistent cut performance on steel and stainless steel
• Reinforced construction rated to 13,280 maximum RPM for use on standard 4-1/2-inch angle grinders
• 0.040-inch wheel thickness minimizes kerf width and reduces heat transfer into the workpiece

• 7/8-inch arbor hole fits most 4-1/2-inch angle grinder spindles without an adapter
• Sold in a 15-pack for high-volume job site or shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard 4-1/2-inch angle grinders with a 7/8-inch spindle. Suitable for cutting steel and stainless steel per the A60R BF INOX specification.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be installed and operated by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety requirements and the grinder manufacturer instructions. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate above the rated maximum RPM. Always use the appropriate guard and personal protective equipment, including a face shield. Do not use this wheel for side grinding or any application other than straight cutting.
