Metabo 655355000 Type 27 Cutoff Wheel 5 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The METABO 655355000 is a Type 27 depressed-center cutoff wheel designed for aggressive cutting on metal and ferrous materials. At 5 inches in diameter and 0.063 inches thick, this wheel delivers a narrow kerf and controlled cut. The 7/8 inch arbor hole fits standard angle grinders used across fabrication, mechanical, and construction trades. With a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive and a rated maximum speed of 12,225 RPM, this wheel is built for consistent stock removal in demanding job-site conditions.

This cutoff wheel is suited for use on angle grinders in both residential and commercial applications, including structural steel cutting, pipe fitting, sheet metal work, and general fabrication. The Type 27 depressed-center profile allows flush and surface cutting, making it a practical choice for tight-clearance work. It is typically installed and used by ironworkers, pipefitters, welders, sheet metal workers, and general contractors who require a reliable abrasive wheel for repetitive cutting tasks.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of abrasive cutoff wheels should be performed by qualified tradespeople following ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always confirm the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
