The DEWALT DW8063 5 in. x .045 in. x 7/8 in. A60T Metal/INOX Cutting Wheel is a thin, aggressive wheel that delivers fast, burr-free cuts in steel, stainless steel, and other metals. Its aluminum oxide grain and two full sheets of fiberglass make it durable enough for production work while keeping the cut cool and clean.
DEWALT DW8063 Cutting Wheel: Thin Profile Makes Quick Work of Bolts
When you need to cut a bolt, screw, or metal strap, the .045-inch thickness on this wheel removes less material and creates less friction than thicker wheels. That means faster cuts, longer wheel life, and less heat that could harden steel or damage the workpiece. Use it on a 5-inch angle grinder with a 7/8-inch arbor.
Can It Cut Bolts and Hardened Steel?
Yes. The DW8063 is formulated for metal cutting and works well on common bolts and threaded rod. For hardened steel, use steady pressure and let the abrasive do the work; avoid forcing the wheel sideways. Always wear eye protection and follow the grinder's wheel guard guidelines.
Metal and INOX Compatibility
This wheel is rated for both ferrous metals and INOX (stainless steel). The A60T bond is tuned for a sharp, cool cut that reduces discoloration on stainless surfaces. The dual fiberglass reinforcement adds structural integrity to help prevent breakage under load.
Tips for Long Wheel Life
Use the cutting edge, not the side, and keep the angle steady. Let the wheel reach full speed before contacting the work. Store wheels flat and dry to avoid moisture damage.
