Milwaukee 49-94-0068 Cut-off Wheel 14in Aluminum Oxide 30 Grit

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-94-0068 is a Type 1 cut-off wheel engineered for high-speed saw applications in metal fabrication and field cutting work. Built from fiberglass-reinforced aluminum oxide abrasive bonded with a resin bond, it delivers a coarse 30-grit cutting edge capable of handling demanding ferrous metals. At 14 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick, the wheel is rated to a maximum operating speed of 5,500 RPM. Aluminum oxide is a hard, heat-resistant abrasive that maintains its edge under sustained high-speed use, making this wheel well suited for production cutting and heavy trade applications.

This cut-off wheel is designed for use with cut-off tools and high-speed saws in both residential and commercial construction environments. Typical applications include cutting carbon steel and stainless steel rebar, structural steel sections, sheet metal, and steel pipe. The 20mm unthreaded arbor hole provides a secure, centered fit on compatible cut-off tool spindles. It is commonly installed by ironworkers, pipefitters, electricians, and general mechanical contractors who require reliable performance on structural and utility metal cutting tasks.

Key Features

• Fiberglass-reinforced aluminum oxide construction for strength and durability at high RPM
• 30-grit coarse abrasive grade for aggressive material removal on steel and stainless steel
• Rated to 5,500 RPM maximum operating speed
• Type 1 flat wheel profile for straight cut-off applications
• 20mm unthreaded arbor hole for secure spindle mounting
• Resin bond matrix maintains abrasive integrity through heat buildup during extended cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use with cut-off tools that accept a 14-inch, Type 1 wheel with a 20mm unthreaded arbor. Suitable for cutting carbon steel and stainless steel, including rebar, structural steel, sheet metal, and steel pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing a cut-off wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use — never mount a damaged wheel. Follow ANSI B7.1 and the tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum wheel speed and guard requirements.
