Gator 9601 Type 1 Metal Cut-off Wheel 4 in Angle Grinder

Product Description

The GATOR 9601 is a Type 1 thin-cut metal cut-off wheel designed for use with 4-inch angle grinders. It measures 4 inches in diameter, 0.045 inches thick, and carries a 5/8-inch arbor bore. The fiberglass-reinforced construction keeps the wheel stable under load and helps resist flex during cutting. At 0.059 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable suited for precision cutwork on ferrous metals, conduit, pipe, and structural steel. Sheet metal workers, pipefitters, electricians, and general contractors reach for this wheel when a clean, narrow kerf cut is the priority.

This wheel is used across residential, commercial, and light industrial job sites wherever an angle grinder is the tool of choice. It is well suited for cutting metal studs, EMT conduit, black iron pipe, and similar ferrous stock. The thin 0.045-inch profile reduces material loss per cut and limits heat buildup along the cut line, making it a practical option for repetitive cutting tasks on a single charge of work.

Key Features

• Type 1 flat profile for straight, plunge, and slot cuts
• 0.045-inch thin kerf reduces heat and material waste
• Fiberglass reinforced for structural integrity under grinder RPM loads

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit consumable for standard 4-inch angle grinders accepting a 5/8-inch arbor.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels are installed and replaced by the operator before powering on the grinder. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each mount. Always confirm the grinder's maximum rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's rated RPM before use. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves, and ensure the guard is in place per OSHA and tool manufacturer requirements.
