Makita B-12631-10 4-1/2 x .040 x 7/8 Thin INOX Cut-Off Wheel 10 Pack

Makita's INOX thin cut-off wheels are designed to slice through ferrous metals, especially stainless steel, at a faster pace while minimizing material waste. These ultra-thin wheels are a perfect match for 4-1/2 In. cordless angle grinders. They demand less energy, which extends the battery life of your grinder. The 60 grit abrasive on these wheels ensures cleaner cuts when working on metal and stainless steel pipes, sheets, and channels. The aluminum oxide construction makes them highly effective for use with ferrous metals. Their thin profile not only speeds up the cutting process but also saves energy, making them a great choice for both efficiency and performance.

Using these Makita cut-off wheels is straightforward. First, make sure your 4 - 1/2 in. angle grinder is turned off and unplugged if it's corded. Then, carefully install the wheel according to the grinder's instructions. When you're ready to cut, hold the grinder firmly and start at a slow speed. Once the wheel is spinning steadily, gently guide it through the metal, pipe, sheet, or channel you're working on. Remember to wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from sparks and debris. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the wheel with a soft brush to remove any metal shavings. Store the wheels in a dry place to prevent rusting. If the wheel shows signs of excessive wear or damage, replace it immediately for safe and efficient operation.
