6" X .045" X 7/8" T27 Depressed Center Thin Cut-Off Wheel - 25 Pack

Benchmark Abrasives 6" x .045" x 7/8" T27 depressed center thin cut-off wheels are built for fast, controlled metal cutting with the added reach and cutting depth of a 6" wheel. The thin .045" profile creates a narrow kerf with reduced material removal, making these wheels a strong choice for fabrication, welding, maintenance, and repair work where both cutting efficiency and access matter.

Made with aluminum oxide abrasive grain, these Type 27 wheels are designed for cutting steel, stainless steel, and other approved metals. The depressed-center construction provides a different mounting profile than a flat Type 1 wheel while maintaining a cutting-only design for tubing, pipe, structural components, fabricated assemblies, and general shop cutting.

With a 7/8" arbor and a maximum speed of 11,000 RPM, this wheel is intended for compatible 6" angle grinders equipped with the proper cut-off guard, flanges, and mounting hardware. The machine must be specifically approved for a 6" bonded abrasive cut-off wheel and operate within the wheel's rated speed.

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 27 cut-off wheel and are equipped with the proper cut-off guard, flanges, and mounting hardware.

Compatible examples include:

• Makita® GA6020YX1 (10,000 RPM)
• Bosch® GWS13-60 (9,300 RPM)
• Milwaukee® 2980-20 (9,000 RPM)
• DEWALT® DCG418 (9,000 RPM)

Use the grinder manufacturer's cutting guard and flanges specified for this Type 27 wheel. Match wheel size, thickness and arbor, and keep the machine's maximum speed at or below the wheel rating. Other models may also be compatible when they meet the same wheel and setup requirements.

Do not install this wheel on a smaller grinder simply because the arbor fits. The machine must be specifically approved for a 6" wheel.

Cutting Performance

The .045" profile provides a narrow kerf with reduced material removal, while the 6" diameter gives the operator more cutting reach than smaller 4-1/2" or 5" wheels.

This combination makes the wheel well suited for larger tubing, pipe, structural components, and fabricated metalwork where a thin cutting profile is still preferred.

Despite its Type 27 depressed-center shape, this wheel is designed strictly for cutting and must not be used for face grinding or side loading.

Safety Tips

• Use this wheel for cutting only. Never grind with the side or face of the wheel.
• Never exceed the wheel's 11,000 RPM maximum speed.
• Use only on machines specifically approved for 6" bonded abrasive cut-off wheels.
• Always use the proper cut-off wheel guard specified for the grinder and wheel configuration.
• Use the correct flanges and mounting hardware specified by the grinder manufacturer.
• 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.
• Wear appropriate eye and face protection, hearing protection, gloves, and other PPE required for the application.
