Product Description
Milwaukee 6-1/2 in. DKO Masonry Cut-Off Wheel - Type 1 (10 Pack)
Model Number: 49-94-1915
The Milwaukee 49-94-1915 is a 6-1/2 in. x 1/8 in. x 5/8 in. DKO Masonry Cut-Off Wheel, Type 1, sold in a 10-pack. This is a masonry cutting wheel, not a metal wheel: it uses a silicon carbide abrasive grain formulated for cutting concrete and masonry, where the metal cut-off wheels use aluminum oxide or ceramic grain for steel. It is designed for long life and fast cuts in brick, block, stone, mortar, concrete, and other masonry materials. The 6-1/2 in. diameter sizes this wheel for masonry-cutting circular saws and cut-off tools rather than for angle grinders, the Type 1 flat geometry is built for straight cutting, and the 1/8 in. thickness gives the wheel the body it needs for masonry work.
The DKO in the name stands for Diamond Knockout. The wheel comes with a 5/8 in. round arbor that has a diamond-shaped knockout built into it, so it mounts directly on saws with a standard 5/8 in. round spindle and, once the diamond is punched out, fits worm-drive and other saws that use a diamond arbor. That single arbor design lets one wheel cover the common circular-saw formats. The wheels are reinforced with two full sheets of fiberglass for strength and durability under load, and the silicon carbide grain delivers durable performance and smooth, controlled cutting through abrasive masonry. The 10-pack keeps a working supply on hand for high-volume masonry cutting.
When ordering, match the wheel to the material and the tool. This is a masonry wheel for concrete and masonry only; do not use it to cut metal, and do not use a metal cut-off wheel to cut masonry, since the abrasive and bond are formulated for different materials. If you need the metal-cutting version in this same 6-1/2 in. DKO format, order the 49-94-0029 metal cut-off wheel instead. Cutting masonry generates respirable crystalline silica dust, so use appropriate dust control along with respiratory, eye, face, and hearing protection, and follow OSHA silica dust requirements. This wheel has a maximum operating speed of 9,250 RPM: always confirm the maximum RPM marked on the wheel is not exceeded by your saw's rated speed, and confirm your saw uses a 5/8 in. or diamond arbor. The wheels are consumable and sold as a 10-pack; the saw is not included.

The saw is NOT included. This is a masonry wheel for concrete and masonry only; it is NOT a metal cut-off wheel and must not be used to cut metal (for the metal version in this size, order the 49-94-0029). Confirm your saw uses a 5/8 in. or diamond arbor and that its rated speed does not exceed the 9,250 RPM maximum marked on the wheel.
