Metabo Cut-Off Wheel 655346000 4-1/2 Inch Type 27 Original Slicer (0.045 Thin 7/8 Arbor A60TZ Aluminum Oxide Steel Parting Angle Grinder Unit)

Metabo 655346000 4-1/2" x .045" Type 27 Original Slicer Cut-Off Wheel

The Metabo 655346000 4-1/2-inch Type 27 Original Slicer cut-off wheel delivers burr-free, low-temperature straight and flush cuts across structural steel, stainless steel, rebar, threaded rod, and ferrous sheet metal. Engineered with high-purity A60TZ aluminum oxide abrasive grains, an ultra-thin 0.045-inch profile, and 2 full layers of high-tensile fiberglass reinforcement, this 13,300 maximum RPM wheel speeds up metal parting cycles while resisting thermal discoloration. Outfitted with a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole and a depressed center profile that provides spindle clearance for close-quarter cutting, it equips certified welders, pipefitters, and structural ironworkers with ANSI B7.1-compliant metal slicing performance on all standard 4-1/2-inch angle grinders.

Best Used For:

• Structural Rebar and Threaded Rod Parting: Slicing high-tensile steel reinforcing bars, solid bar stock, and threaded rod cleanly without damaging lead threads.
• Flush Cutting in Tight Frame Clearances: Utilizing the depressed center hub to make precise cut-offs flush against walls, plates, and structural steel beams.
• Stainless Steel Pipe and Sheet Metal Fabrication: Delivering cool, non-contaminating cuts through stainless steel tubing and gauge sheet without blueing or heavy burrs.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Original Slicer 0.045-Inch Thin Profile: Slices through dense metals with reduced friction and resistance, preventing tool bog-down and maximizing battery life on cordless grinders.
• A60TZ Pure Aluminum Oxide Formulation: Premium abrasive grains deliver high-speed material penetration and extended operational wheel life in demanding alloys.
• Dual-Layer High-Tensile Fiberglass Reinforcement: 2 full layers of structural woven mesh provide extreme burst strength and operator safety under severe rotational forces.
• Type 27 Depressed Center Architecture: Recessed hub accommodates mounting hardware to provide flush cutting capability and enhanced wheel rigidity.
• Rigorous Safety Standard Compliance: Engineered and tested to meet or exceed stringent ANSI B7.1, OSHA, and European EN 12413 industrial abrasive safety standards.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When using the depressed center of this Type 27 wheel for flush cut-offs, avoid applying lateral grinding pressure to the flat face; let the high peripheral speed of the 0.045-inch edge do the cutting to maintain wheel balance and safety.
