Milwaukee 49-94-5020 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 5x1/4x7/8 10 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 49-94-5020 is a Type 27 depressed-center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. Measuring 5 inches in diameter, 1/4 inches thick, and with a 7/8 inch arbor bore, this wheel fits standard 5-inch angle grinders. The Type 27 profile positions the grinding face slightly below the outer edge, providing a low grinding angle suited for weld blending, surface conditioning, and stock removal on flat or contoured workpieces. Sold in a 10-pack unit of measure, it is a practical stocking choice for contractors, fabricators, and maintenance crews running high wheel-consumption workflows.

This grinding wheel is appropriate for use in metal fabrication, structural steel work, pipe preparation, and general industrial maintenance applications. It is suited for professional trades including ironworkers, pipefitters, millwrights, and mechanical contractors who require consistent, repeatable performance across multiple grinder passes. The 10-pack configuration supports job-site and shop environments where wheel turnover is frequent and downtime for restocking is not practical.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheels must be installed and replaced by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 and applicable OSHA standards for abrasive wheel machinery.
