The DEWALT DW8457 6-Inch T27 Stainless Steel Cutting/Grinding Wheel is designed for metalworkers and contractors who cut and grind stainless steel without switching wheels. The depressed-center Type 27 shape lets you use the same wheel for cutting and light grinding, while the 1/8-inch thickness balances durability and speed. With a 7/8-inch arbor, it fits most 6-inch angle grinders.
DEWALT DW8457 6-Inch Cutting/Grinding Wheel: One Wheel for Cutting and Grinding
The stainless steel abrasive blend is formulated to resist loading on tough, gummy stainless steel while still handling ferrous metals. The 1/8-inch profile cuts faster and cooler than thicker wheels, reducing heat buildup and discoloration on the work surface. It also leaves a cleaner edge on sheet metal and pipe.
For fabricators, welders, and maintenance crews, this single Type 27 wheel simplifies the tool crib while giving you dependable performance where you need it.

Product Details
Fast Cutting, Low Heat
The 1/8-inch profile is the sweet spot for cutting stainless. It slices through metal faster than a thicker wheel, and because it creates less surface drag, it keeps the material cooler and reduces discoloring.
One Wheel for Two Jobs
Type 27 wheels are versatile: use the flat face for grinding and the edge for cut-off work. With this stainless-specific wheel, you don't need to swap between a grinding wheel and a cut-off disc when transitioning between stages of a project.
Safety Tips for Abrasive Wheels
Always use the proper guard, eye protection, and rated RPM. Inspect the wheel before mounting and never use a wheel that has cracks or has been dropped. Tighten the arbor nut only enough to hold the wheel securely.

Good wheel
I've used these wheels on stainless pipe. They last a decent amount of time. The grinding action is aggressive. I like that they don't load up. They are a bit noisy though. But overall a good wheel.
