The DEWALT DWA8036 Concrete/Masonry Cut-Off Wheel is built to make clean, aggressive cuts in concrete, masonry, and similar materials. Its softer formulation keeps cutting speed high, while the high grain concentration maintains a smooth, consistent action. The result is a wheel that works quickly without bogging down—exactly what masons and contractors need on a busy job site.
DEWALT DWA8036 Cut-Off Wheel Design and Safety
Two full sheets of fiberglass reinforce the wheel, giving it added strength to withstand extreme applications and high speeds. The aluminum oxide abrasive is the right choice for concrete and masonry, and the coarse grit removes material rapidly. At 12 inches in diameter, this wheel is intended for large angle grinders and cut-off machines designed for concrete work.
Key Performance Advantages
- Faster cutting: The softer formulation is specifically engineered to cut without excessive pressure.
- Smoother running: Higher grain concentration reduces vibration for better control.
- Longer life: Reinforcement with two full sheets of fiberglass helps the wheel hold up to heavy use.
- Correct size: 12" x 1/8" x 1" fits common large cut-off saws and grinders.
Application Tips
Use this wheel for straight cutting of concrete block, brick, pavers, and stone. Always let the wheel reach full RPM before engaging the material, and avoid twisting or prying. Keep your grinder's guard and handle in place, and wear full eye, face, and respiratory protection when cutting.
Who Should Buy the DWA8036
Professional masons, concrete contractors, and serious DIYers who own a 12-inch cut-off saw or large angle grinder will get reliable performance from this DEWALT wheel. It's designed for concrete and masonry—not for metal cutting—so use the right wheel for each material to stay safe and get the best cut.
