Product Description

The METABO 655338000 is a Type 1 (01/41) cut-off wheel designed for ferrous metal cutting and grinding applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, this reinforced wheel delivers consistent, clean cuts on steel. It measures 6 inches in diameter with a 0.040-inch thickness and a 5/8-inch arbor hole. Rated to a maximum of 10,200 RPM, it is engineered for use on angle grinders and cut-off tools in fabrication, mechanical, and maintenance work. Hardness code T and 60 grit make this wheel a reliable choice for general-purpose steel cutting where controlled material removal and wheel durability are required.

This cut-off wheel is suited for trade professionals including pipefitters, ironworkers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics who need a dependable abrasive wheel for cutting steel rod, pipe, strut, and structural stock. The 6-inch diameter fits a range of angle grinders and dedicated cut-off saws. Its reinforced construction handles demanding shop and field conditions. It is sold individually but is available in multiples of 50, making it appropriate for contractor and shop stock orders.
