Gator 9641 Type 1 Metal Cut-off Wheel 7x1/8x5/8 in

Product Description

The GATOR 9641 is a Type 1 fiberglass-reinforced metal cut-off wheel built for industrial cutting and chopping applications. Measuring 7 inches in diameter with a 1/8-inch thickness and a 5/8-inch arbor bore, this flat-profile wheel mounts to standard angle grinders and cut-off tools used in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical trades. The fiberglass reinforcement adds structural integrity during high-speed operation, helping the wheel resist breakage under lateral stress. At 0.396 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use without adding fatigue. Sold individually, it is suited for trade professionals who need a reliable abrasive wheel for ferrous metal cutting tasks on the job site or in the shop.

The GATOR 9641 is designed for cutting ferrous metals including steel pipe, angle iron, bar stock, and sheet metal. It is commonly used by pipefitters, plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors who need clean, fast cuts in metal during installation or fabrication work. The Type 1 flat wheel profile is the standard configuration for straight cut-off operations, making it compatible with most 7-inch angle grinders and dedicated cut-off machines found in trade and industrial settings.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7-inch angle grinders and cut-off machines equipped with a 5/8-inch arbor, as is typical for Type 1 cut-off wheels used in metal fabrication and trade service work.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified operator following the tool and wheel manufacturer guidelines. Always power down and unplug the grinder or cut-off tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate above the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel. Eye protection, gloves, and appropriate PPE are required during operation.
