Product Description
Milwaukee 5 in. x 1/8 in. x 7/8 in. Type 27 Masonry Grinding Wheel
Model Number: 49-94-5740
The Milwaukee 49-94-5740 is a 5 in. x 1/8 in. x 7/8 in. Type 27 Masonry Grinding Wheel — a silicon carbide abrasive wheel for grinding, smoothing, and surface preparation on concrete, masonry, brick, block, stone, and other masonry materials with 4-1/2 in. and 5 in. angle grinders. Silicon carbide abrasive is the correct specification for masonry grinding — it cuts through the hard aggregate, hardened cement paste, and mineral stone components of concrete and masonry materials effectively where aluminum oxide abrasive wheels used for metal would glaze over rapidly in these same applications. The 1/8 in. thickness is the standard general-purpose grinding wheel profile that provides the structural body mass needed for sustained grinding pressure without wheel deflection, appropriate for the surface material removal applications that masonry grinding wheels perform on concrete slabs, block walls, and stone surfaces.
The Type 27 depressed-center profile positions the abrasive face below the wheel's mounting hub, allowing the grinding face to contact flat masonry surfaces at the low, flat approach angle that is most productive and least fatiguing for sustained flat-surface grinding work. Common masonry grinding applications include smoothing concrete form marks and tie hole patches, grinding high spots on concrete floors for overlay or coating preparation, removing mortar drips from brick and block faces, smoothing stone and concrete edges, and light surface cleaning on masonry structures. The 7/8 in. arbor bore fits standard 5 in. angle grinders. Always inspect wheels for cracks before mounting, operate within the wheel's maximum rated RPM, and use appropriate face shield and respiratory protection during masonry grinding operations.
