Metabo 655335000 Type 1 Cutoff Wheel 5 in 60 Grit

Product Description

The METABO 655335000 is a Type 1 (01/41) resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cutoff wheel designed for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 5 inches in diameter and only 0.045 inches thick, the wheel produces narrow kerf cuts with minimal material loss. The 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive with an X hardness rating delivers consistent bite across ferrous and stainless applications. Rated to 12,225 RPM, this reinforced wheel is suited for use on angle grinders and cutoff tools operated by metalworkers, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need reliable performance on heavy-duty cuts.

This cutoff wheel is intended for cutting steel and stainless steel in fabrication shops, field pipe work, structural steel applications, and general metal cutting tasks. The Type 1 flat profile makes it compatible with standard right-angle grinders and cutoff machines equipped with a 7/8-inch arbor. Its thin 0.045-inch profile reduces heat buildup and drag during cuts, making it a practical choice for repetitive cutting operations in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Type 1 (01/41) flat wheel profile for straight cutoff cuts
• 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive rated for steel and stainless steel
• Thin 0.045-inch kerf minimizes material waste and reduces cutting resistance
• Reinforced construction with resinoid bond for structural integrity at speed
• 12,225 maximum RPM rating for compatibility with standard angle grinders
• X hardness code for consistent performance across ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel and stainless steel with standard angle grinders and cutoff machines that accept a 7/8-inch arbor hole and accommodate a 5-inch diameter wheel up to the maximum rated RPM of the tool.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting must be performed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheels. Always verify the grinder or cutoff tool is rated at or above 12,225 RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
