Gator 97525 Type 27 Cut-off Wheel 4.5 in Metal Stainless 5-pack

Product Description

The GATOR 97525 is a Type 27 depressed-center cut-off wheel designed for cutting and light grinding on both standard carbon steel and stainless steel. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter, 0.078 inches thick, and with a 0.875-inch arbor bore, this wheel handles solid bar stock as well as structural profiles, tubing, and sheet material. Sold in a 5-pack, it eliminates the need to swap between a cut-off wheel and a grinding disc, combining both operations in a single abrasive. Licensed fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians will find this wheel suited to production cutting and field repair work alike.

The 97525 is rated for use on ferrous metals including mild steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel. The Type 27 depressed-center profile keeps the wheel hub clear of the workpiece, which is particularly useful when cutting into tight corners, angle iron, flat bar, and structural channel. The 4.5-inch diameter fits standard 4.5-inch angle grinders commonly used in plumbing, mechanical, and general fabrication trades. The 5-pack format supports production environments where wheel wear is frequent.

Key Features

• Cuts and grinds in a single step, reducing disc swap time on the job
• Compatible with both normal carbon steel and stainless steel workpieces
• Type 27 depressed-center design allows flush and inside-corner cuts
• 4.5-inch diameter fits standard 4.5-inch angle grinders
• Thin 0.078-inch kerf reduces material loss and cutting effort
• 5-pack quantity reduces downtime from single-wheel purchases

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4.5-inch angle grinders accepting a 0.875-inch arbor bore. Suitable for cutting and grinding mild steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel in solid and profile form.

Installation Notes

Wheel installation and use should be performed by operators familiar with angle grinder safety procedures. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and confirm the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel RPM rating before operation. Secure the workpiece, wear appropriate PPE including a face shield and cut-resistant gloves, and keep bystanders clear of the cutting plane. Do not use a cut-off wheel for side grinding beyond what the Type 27 profile is rated for.
