Product Specification
6" X .045" X 7/8" T1 THIN CUT-OFF WHEEL FOR ALUMINUM - 25 PACK
Benchmark Abrasives 6" x .045" x 7/8" T1 thin cut-off wheels for aluminum are built for fast, controlled cutting when you need more reach and cutting depth than smaller grinder wheels can provide. The thin .045" profile keeps the kerf narrow while the 6" diameter gives fabricators added reach for larger aluminum tubing, extrusions, sheet, and fabricated components.
The wheel uses an aluminum oxide and silicon carbide abrasive blend specifically positioned for aluminum and other approved nonferrous metals. Its flat Type 1 construction is designed strictly for edge cutting, making it a strong choice for fabrication, automotive, maintenance, and repair work where efficient aluminum cutting and good control are important.
With a 7/8" arbor and a 10,200 RPM maximum rating, this wheel is designed for compatible 6" angle grinders equipped for Type 1 cut-off wheel use. Use it only on grinders specifically rated for 6" wheels and fitted with the proper cut-off guard, flanges, and mounting hardware.
Bottom line, these cut off wheels offer LESS cutting resistance for fast work, LESS work piece waste, LESS vibration, LESS burrs and sparks and LESS dust than the competition

Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible 6" angle grinders that accept a 7/8" arbor Type 1 cut-off wheel and are specifically rated for 6" wheel capacity.
Compatible examples include:
- Makita® GA6020YX1 (10,000 RPM), fitted with its 6" cut-off guard and the correct cutting-wheel flanges
- Bosch® GWS13-60 (9,300 RPM)
- Milwaukee® 2980-20 (9,000 RPM)
- DEWALT® DCG418 (9,000 RPM)
Do not install this wheel on a smaller grinder simply because the arbor fits. Always verify wheel capacity, arbor size, maximum RPM, flange configuration, mounting hardware, and the correct Type 1 cut-off guard before operation.
Safety Tips
- Use this wheel for cutting only. Do not grind with the side of the wheel.
- Never exceed the wheel's 10,200 RPM maximum speed.
- Use only on machines specifically rated for 6" wheels.
- Always use the proper Type 1 cut-off wheel guard.
- Use the correct flanges and mounting hardware specified for the grinder.
- Inspect the wheel before use and do not operate cracked, chipped, damaged, or improperly stored wheels.
- Keep the wheel straight in the cut and avoid side loading.
- Do not force or twist the wheel through the workpiece.
