Product Description
Milwaukee 4 in. x 1/4 in. x 5/8 in. Metal Grinding Wheel - Type 27 (10-Pack)
Model Number: 49-94-0501
The Milwaukee 49-94-0501 is a 10-pack of 4 in. x 1/4 in. x 5/8 in. Metal Grinding Wheels in the Type 27 depressed-center profile, designed for long life and fast material removal in metal and stainless steel. This is a grinding wheel, not a cut-off wheel: the thick 1/4 in. body and the depressed-center Type 27 shape are built for removing material with the face of the wheel, grinding down weld beads, knocking off flash and burrs, prepping and beveling edges, cleaning up cuts, and stripping rust and scale. The offset hub of the Type 27 profile lets the wheel lie into the work at a grinding angle while keeping the grinder body and your hand clear of the surface. Each wheel is engineered with a formula of resin bonding agents and aluminum oxide grain for smooth, controlled grinding, and reinforced with three full sheets of high-strength fiberglass, an extra sheet over Milwaukee's cut-off wheels, because grinding drives load into the face of the wheel and demands more reinforcement.
Milwaukee rates this metal line for up to 2X the life and rapid material removal versus standard competition, so each wheel grinds longer between changes and takes metal down faster while holding a smooth, controlled action. The wheels work across ferrous metals with wide versatility, grinding carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys, and standing up to the everyday materials those jobs involve: steel plate and bar, angle iron, pipe, structural sections, rebar, and weldments. The aluminum oxide grain keeps cutting into the metal as it wears rather than glazing over, which is what maintains a fast removal rate through the life of the wheel and makes these a strong general-purpose choice for fabrication, welding, structural, and maintenance work.
These wheels fit 4 in. angle grinders that use a 5/8 in. arbor. Because this is a grinding wheel, use the face of the wheel for material removal and never use it as a cut-off wheel for edge cutting, just as a thin cut-off wheel should never be used for grinding; matching the wheel to the task is a safety requirement, not just a preference. Before mounting, confirm the maximum safe RPM printed on the wheel meets or exceeds your grinder'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 grinder's guard in place, and wear appropriate eye and face protection when grinding. Supplied as a 10-pack, the 49-94-0501 keeps a full box of wheels on hand for the steady consumption rate of production grinding work.
