Product Description
Milwaukee 4-1/2 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. Ceramic+ Metal Cut Off Wheel - Type 1 (25-Pack)
Model Number: 49-94-0203
The Milwaukee 49-94-0203 is a 25-pack of 4-1/2 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. Ceramic+ Metal Cut Off Wheels in the Type 1 flat profile, Milwaukee's premium ceramic-grain wheel built for fast cuts and high productivity in metal and stainless steel. What separates the Ceramic+ line from a standard or aluminum-oxide wheel is the abrasive itself: it uses self-sharpening, shaped ceramic grain. Rather than dulling as it works, ceramic grain fractures in a controlled way during the cut, constantly exposing fresh, sharp cutting edges, so the wheel keeps cutting fast and easy from the first cut to the last instead of slowing down as it wears. Mounted on the most common 4-1/2 in. grinder size with a 7/8 in. arbor, and built with a thin .045 in. kerf on two full sheets of high-strength fiberglass reinforcement, it combines aggressive ceramic cutting with the control and durability needed for daily jobsite use.
Milwaukee rates the Ceramic+ line for up to 2X faster cutting from the self-sharpening ceramic grain, and the benefits go beyond raw speed. The wheel cuts with noticeably less effort, so you push less and let the grain do the work, and its optimized bond and wheel formula release grain uniformly for longer life versus competitive ceramic wheels while delivering cleaner, cooler cuts with reduced chatter. Cooler cutting matters most on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive alloys, where excess heat causes discoloration and can affect the material, and reduced chatter means a smoother, more controlled cut. The wheels handle carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys, and take on the everyday materials those categories cover: steel stock and bar, angle iron, pipe and conduit, rebar, threaded rod, and bolts.
It helps to know where this wheel sits in Milwaukee's premium lineup. The Ceramic+ line is built for cutting speed and ease with cooler, cleaner cuts, while the Performance+ line is built for maximum wheel life, up to 5X, and the fewest wheel changes. Choose Ceramic+ when fast, low-effort cutting and heat-sensitive stainless work are the priority, and Performance+ when getting the most life out of every wheel matters most. 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; inspect each wheel before use, keep the tool's guard in place, and wear appropriate eye and face protection when cutting. Supplied as a 25-pack, the 49-94-0203 is bulk-sized for high-volume cutting.
