Value Collection KP10342 Cut-off Wheel 4.5in Aluminum Oxide 46 Grit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP10342 is a Type 1 (01/41) cut-off wheel designed for aggressive cutting on aluminum and similar non-ferrous materials. At 4.5 inches in diameter and 0.040 inches thick, this reinforced aluminum oxide wheel spins at a maximum of 13,300 RPM and is bonded with a resinoid bond for durability under load. The 7/8 inch arbor hole fits most standard 4.5 inch angle grinders. With a 46 grit rating and hardness code N, the wheel delivers a balance of cut speed and wheel life suitable for sheet metal fabrication, pipe work, and general trade cutting applications. Each order includes 2 wheels.

This cut-off wheel is suited for metalworking trades including pipefitters, sheet metal workers, welders, and maintenance technicians. It is rated specifically for aluminum cutting applications, making it appropriate for HVAC ductwork, aluminum conduit, and light structural aluminum. The thin 0.040 inch kerf minimizes material loss and reduces heat buildup during cuts, which is important when working with heat-sensitive aluminum alloys.

Key Features

• Type 1 (01/41) flat profile cut-off wheel for straight cutting applications
• Aluminum oxide abrasive reinforced construction rated for aluminum
• 46 grit with hardness code N for balanced cut rate and wheel longevity
• Resinoid bond withstands high rotational stress and lateral load
• 13,300 maximum RPM rating compatible with standard 4.5 inch angle grinders
• Thin 0.040 inch wheel thickness minimizes kerf and reduces heat transfer

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4.5 inch angle grinders accepting a 7/8 inch arbor. Rated for cutting aluminum per the AL46N specification designation.

Installation Notes

Install and replace cut-off wheels only when the grinder is powered off and disconnected from its power source. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate above the marked maximum RPM. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection when grinding or cutting. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel use and mounting.
