Product Description
Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. Performance+ Metal Cut Off Wheel - Type 1 (10-Pack)
Model Number: 49-94-0101
The Milwaukee 49-94-0101 is a 10-pack of 4-1/2 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. Performance+ Metal Cut Off Wheels in the Type 1 flat profile, engineered for longer life and faster cuts in metal and stainless steel. These wheels use an advanced aluminum oxide grain that maintains a sharp cutting edge throughout the life of the wheel, paired with an enhanced bonding structure that consistently releases fresh grain as the wheel wears. That self-sharpening action is what keeps the wheel cutting fast and gives the operator consistent control from the first cut to the last. Each wheel is built with two full sheets of high-strength fiberglass reinforcement and a higher grain concentration, the combination that delivers both durability under side load and the extended life the Performance+ line is known for. The thin .045 in. kerf removes less material on every pass for faster cuts, less heat in the workpiece, and less wasted metal.
Milwaukee rates the Performance+ line for up to 5X the life in metal cutting compared to standard wheels, which means far fewer wheel changes over a job, and up to 25 percent faster cutting from the advanced grain and bond. The wheels cut with wide versatility across ferrous metals, handling carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys, and standing up to the everyday jobsite materials in those categories: steel stock, angle iron, pipe, conduit, rebar, threaded rod, and similar work. Because the grain and bond are engineered specifically for steel and stainless, these are a strong general-purpose choice for fabrication, mechanical, structural, electrical, and maintenance trades that cut metal throughout the day, and the higher grain concentration is what lets a single wheel outlast several standard wheels on the same work.
The 7/8 in. arbor is the standard mounting size for 4-1/2 in. angle grinders, the most common grinder size on the jobsite, so these wheels drop straight onto the tools most shops already run. Milwaukee rates this 4-1/2 in. wheel to a maximum of 13,580 RPM; always confirm the maximum speed printed on the wheel meets or exceeds your tool's rated speed, and never run a wheel faster than the speed marked on it. 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 10-pack, the 49-94-0101 is sized for the way thin cut-off wheels are actually consumed on a busy job, where a wheel gets worked down to the arbor and a fresh one needs to be right at hand.
