Product Description
Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. Metal Cut Off Wheel - Type 1 (25-Pack)
Model Number: 49-94-0003
The Milwaukee 49-94-0003 is a 25-pack of 4-1/2 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. Metal Cut Off Wheels in the Type 1 flat profile, engineered for long life and fast cuts in metal and stainless steel. This is the most common cut-off wheel size on the jobsite, mounting on the standard 4-1/2 in. angle grinders and cut-off tools that nearly every shop already runs, which makes it the everyday go-to for general metal cutting. The thin .045 in. kerf removes little material on each pass, so the wheel cuts fast, keeps heat down in the workpiece, and wastes less of the stock being cut. The wheels are engineered with a formula of resin bonding agents and aluminum oxide grain for clean, controlled cutting, and each one is built with two full sheets of high-strength fiberglass reinforcement so it holds up to the side loads and impacts of real cutting rather than chipping or breaking down early.
Milwaukee rates this metal line for up to 2X the life and 10 percent faster cutting versus standard competition, so each wheel lasts longer between changes and moves through material quickly while holding a clean, controlled line. The wheels cut with wide versatility across ferrous metals, handling carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys, and taking on the everyday materials those categories cover: steel stock and bar, angle iron, pipe and conduit, rebar, threaded rod, bolts, and strut. Because the .045 in. formula is tuned for steel and stainless, these are a strong general-purpose choice for fabrication, mechanical, electrical, structural, and maintenance trades that cut metal throughout the day.
These wheels fit standard 4-1/2 in. angle grinders and cut-off tools that use a 7/8 in. arbor, and Milwaukee rates them to a maximum of 13,580 RPM. Before mounting, confirm the maximum RPM printed on the wheel meets or exceeds your tool's rated speed, and never run a wheel faster than the speed marked on it. Because this is a thin cut-off wheel, use it for cutting only and never for grinding with the face of the wheel, just as a thick grinding wheel should never be used for cutting; matching the wheel to the task is a safety requirement. Inspect each wheel for cracks or damage before use, keep the tool's guard in place, and wear appropriate eye and face protection when cutting. Supplied as a 25-pack, the 49-94-0003 is bulk-sized for high-volume cutting, keeping a deep supply of wheels on hand for a crew that goes through them fast.
