Virginia Abrasives Corp 424-59001 Metal Cutting Wheel

Product Description

The VIRGINIA ABRASIVES CORP 424-59001 is a metal ultra thin cutting wheel designed for fast, clean cuts through ferrous metal stock. Measuring 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.040-inch thickness and a 0.875-inch arbor hole, this wheel mounts to portable handheld angle grinders that accept a 0.875-inch hub. The thin kerf profile reduces material loss and heat buildup during cuts, making it well suited for sheet metal, conduit, pipe, strapping, and other light metal fabrication tasks. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work routinely reach for wheels in this format when precise, controlled cuts are required on the job site.

This cutting wheel is intended for use with portable handheld angle grinders that require a 0.875-inch hub to secure the wheel to the spindle. It is appropriate for general-purpose metalworking and cutting applications across residential and commercial job sites. Typical use cases include cutting threaded rod, conduit, sheet metal, and small-diameter pipe where a thin-kerf wheel minimizes burr formation and speeds finishing work.
