Questions & Answers

The metal cut off discs were designed for circular saws, weren't they?

You might be able to use it if it has a 5/8 inch arbor, but that's not what it's meant for and it may pose safety risks. I have a little chopsaw (miter saw) that fits them.

What are the cutting capabilities of this tool for hvac aluminum?

As far as cutting HVAC Aluminium is concerned, the DW8061B5 should work.

How does this tool fit into a Dewalt tool? It's true that they don't fit the normal four categories How many grinding wheels are there in that half grinder?

Please accept my apology for the difficulty you are having installing the DW8061B with your 4-foot cable Grinding wheel 1/2 inch diameter. There will be specific instructions included in the grinders manual on how to install wheels. Describe what this is in a few words In some DEWALT models there is a guard designed to be used with wheels that have a depressed center (Type 27) and grinding wheels with lugs In addition to sanding flap discs (Type 27 and 29) and wire brushes, the guard can be used with mesh cutters as well. In addition to Type 27 and 29, Type 29 wheels will require different accessory guards, which are not included these guards are not included with the Included in the accessory package are mounting instructions for these accessory guards. A Type I is one of these. We are available to assist you further through DEWALT customer support.

Generally considered to be one of the best types of cutoff wheels
5/5

It never fails for me to rely on my 4 1/2" angle grinder for most cutting, grinding, and heavy abrasion/cleaning jobs around the garage. My duty cycle is high so I go through dozens of cutoff and grinding wheels a year, and these Dewalt Type 1 (flat center) wheels work perfectly. It cut cleanly and quickly, and I have never had a broken one under normal usage. In addition to their Type 27 (depressed center) wheels, I have used many of them successfully. As compared to other top performers such as SAIT and Norton, these numbers are on par. It should be noted that these are not intended to cut aluminum, copper, brass, etc. If you are cutting softer metals, such as glass, ceramics or tile, use the appropriate wheel, as these wheels will clog and will then not function properly. It's also important to remember that these are very simple aluminum oxide wheels with very low costs. For a longer lasting wheel, pick a ceramic aluminum oxide or zirconia aluminum wheel they will last longer, however they will cost.

There are four of them
5/5

I am 0 inches in height. Following a click on the DeWalt cordless, 18v angle grinder, these accessories were suggested as an addition. It turned out that they were slightly smaller than the disk that came with the grinder, and they were a bit smaller than my assumption. Knowing that the grinder can take a 4 is all you need to know. There are only four disks instead of five, because this is a four-inch disk. A zero or nothing. Even so, they are excellently made and will earn 5 stars (I assumed they were the right size since.

I am very pleased
5/5

The Dewald general purpose steel cutting wheel for small angle grinders is certainly value for money, since they are tough, durable, and cost-effective. Using quality cutting equipment when working with metal reduces the risk of a metal cutting accident. This is the first place to begin when cutting steel. As a result of their small size, they are easy to control, and when used correctly, they are tough. Wear safety gear when performing a job, because this is the first step to a good result.

Essentially, these guys will be able to handle any cutting needs you have (in my case, I used them to cut stainless bolts)
5/5

The following is a review of the DeWalt DW8061B5 4” by this author. This five pack of 045" metal and stainless cutting wheels has an arbor of 5/8". Summation - I was looking for some cutting discs that I could use with my Porter Cable PC60TAG 6amp 4 1 2" angle grinder and found these to be exactly what I wanted. Typical uses for the cutting tools are stainless bolts (this was what I used in my case) and they were not expensive. My thought is that these wheels would be ideal for the handy-man type who will do everything by themselves around the house. Small to medium-sized tasks are no problem for this product. It may be better to go with a higher-quality wheel if your work is large or if you will be using it for some time without changing. Some of the features involved an element of. Cutting with a wheel with a radius of 0. 45" is both fast and burr-free. The aluminum oxide grain combination facilitates aggressive cutting as well as maintaining safety and durability as the fiberglass sheet itself is thicker than the aluminum oxide grain combination. As a whole, I am very pleased for the price range and would recommend this product.

Item recommendation for a good product, but a bad one
4/5

There is nothing wrong with the blades, but they are listed as a product recommendation with 7/8 inch blades and grinders, but the blades are 5/8 inches. As an alternative to relying on the nondescript product header on the thumbnail, I should have examined the picture. In this case, it's more of a faulty Amazon feature than anything else. An example would be when buying a bosch hammer drill and they recommend bits that are compatible with a hitachi drive. It takes a bit of research to make sure it fits your grinder, so please check the item information!.

A tool for the job should be selected carefully
5/5

We were left in the midst of a satellite dish mount threaded with a coax cable by a lazy cable guy. Only by chopping the metal mount was it possible to free up the cables without cutting them. I found it to be the 'right tool for the job' since it cut through the mount in no time at all. I love how well these work!.

I like the cutoff discs because they are of good quality
5/5

The wheels are of good quality. It's worth the money over cheap discs - Even when there is a chip or a break, it lasts longer and doesn't break apart as fast.

A great piece of jewelry
5/5

It is an outstanding value to purchase these cutting wheels. There are 5 packs of the north items in the big box store, which cost less than three single items, and their longevity is also exceptional.
