Gator 9615 Type 27 Metal Cut-off Wheel 4.5x0.25x0.875 in

Product Description

The GATOR 9615 is a Type 27 depressed-center cut-off wheel engineered for heavy-duty metal cutting, grinding, and deburring on angle grinders. Built with industrial-grade silicon carbide abrasive and a double-reinforced fiberglass construction, this wheel delivers faster cuts and extended service life compared to single-reinforced alternatives. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter, 0.25 inches thick, with a 0.875-inch arbor bore, the 9615 fits standard 4.5-inch angle grinders used daily in fabrication and field service work. The Type 27 profile is suited for low-angle and vertical grinding applications where a flat or slightly depressed wheel face is required.

This wheel is designed for trade professionals in metal fabrication, HVAC rough-in, plumbing, electrical, and general construction who need a reliable consumable for cutting and cleaning ferrous and non-ferrous metal. The Type 27 geometry allows grinding at lower attack angles, making it practical for flush work on flat stock, pipe, conduit, and structural steel. It is sold individually and is well suited for shops or service fleets that maintain angle grinders as standard tool inventory.

Key Features

• Industrial-grade silicon carbide abrasive for aggressive material removal on metal
• Double-reinforced fiberglass construction increases wheel life and reduces breakage risk
• Type 27 depressed-center profile supports low-angle and vertical grinding positions
• 4.5-inch diameter with 0.875-inch arbor bore fits standard angle grinder spindles
• 0.25-inch thickness rated for cutting and deburring, not surface finishing

Compatibility

Designed for use on 4.5-inch angle grinders accepting a 0.875-inch arbor and rated for Type 27 depressed-center wheels. Confirm tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the wheel before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of abrasive cut-off wheels should follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the angle grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and never use a damaged wheel. Secure the arbor nut with the correct wrench and confirm the guard is properly positioned before powering on the tool. Always wear appropriate eye protection and a face shield when operating abrasive wheels.
