Sait 22073 Type 27 Depressed Center Wheel 5in Ceramic

Product Description

The SAIT 22073 is a Type 27 depressed center cutting wheel designed for use with angle grinders in demanding metalworking applications. Built with a ceramic alumina abrasive bond in a resinoid matrix, this wheel measures 5 inches in diameter and 0.045 inches thick, making it well-suited for thin kerf cutting where minimal material loss matters. The 7/8 inch arbor hole fits standard angle grinder spindles, and the reinforced construction supports a maximum operating speed of 12,200 RPM. Weighing approximately 1 pound, it is a direct grab-and-go consumable for trades working in metal fabrication, maintenance, and structural work.

This wheel is intended for cutting ferrous metal, high tensile alloy, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel. The Type 27 depressed center profile keeps the grinding surface slightly offset from the flange, allowing flush or near-flush cuts along flat stock, pipe, angle iron, and structural shapes. It is a common consumable on job sites where welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and sheet metal mechanics run angle grinders continuously throughout the day.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive for aggressive cutting action on hard and high-tensile metals
• Resinoid bond with reinforced construction for durability under load
• 0.045 inch thickness minimizes material removal and reduces heat buildup during cuts
• Type 27 depressed center profile enables flush cutting along flat workpieces
• 12,200 RPM maximum speed rating suits standard 5 inch angle grinders
• 7/8 inch arbor hole fits common angle grinder spindles via standard arbor connector

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders. Rated for cutting ferrous metal, high tensile alloy, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel. Arbor connector type with a 7/8 inch hole size fits standard angle grinder spindles.

Installation Notes

Cutting wheels must be installed and operated by qualified personnel familiar with angle grinder safety practices. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting and never exceed the rated maximum RPM marked on the wheel or its blotter. Ensure the grinder guard is in place and positioned correctly for Type 27 wheels before operation. Follow ANSI B7.1 and applicable workplace safety standards when mounting, using, and storing abrasive wheels.
