Metabo 655344000 Type 1 Cutoff Wheel 6 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The METABO 655344000 is a Type 1 flat cutoff wheel engineered for aggressive cutting of steel and stainless steel with angle grinders. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 0.045 inches thick, this thin-kerf wheel minimizes material loss and reduces heat buildup during cuts. The abrasive matrix is aluminum oxide at 60 grit, bonded with a resinoid bond and reinforced for structural integrity at speed. The wheel carries a maximum operating speed of 10,200 RPM and is rated with a hardness code of X for durability in demanding cutting applications. This wheel is sold individually and ordered in multiples of 50.

This cutoff wheel is suited for metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work in industrial and commercial settings. It fits angle grinders with a 7/8 inch arbor and handles straight cuts through mild steel and stainless steel stock, pipe, bar, and structural shapes. The 0.045 inch thickness makes it well suited for work where precision cuts and minimal burr are priorities. Typical users include metal fabricators, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance mechanics.

Installation Notes

Cutoff wheels must be mounted and operated by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the grinder manufacturer guidelines. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never exceed the marked maximum RPM. Always use the appropriate guard and wear eye and face protection during operation.
