OVERVIEW

Premium Ceramic Performance for Industrial Cutting

The United Abrasives/SAIT 22482 Ultimate Ceramic™ Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for metal fabrication professionals. Designed to tackle the toughest materials in the shop, this 6-inch wheel utilizes a premium ceramic aluminum oxide grain structure. Unlike traditional abrasive grains that dull and round over time, ceramic grains are engineered to micro-fracture under pressure. This self-sharpening mechanism continuously exposes fresh, sharp cutting edges, ensuring that the wheel maintains a high cut rate throughout its entire lifespan. This feature is particularly critical when working with hard-to-grind alloys where heat buildup and glazing are common issues.

Engineered with a Type 1 (Type 41) flat profile, this wheel is optimized for deep, perpendicular cutting applications. The ultra-thin .045-inch thickness significantly reduces the amount of material removed during the cut (kerf), which translates to less friction, lower heat generation, and faster cutting speeds. This makes the 22482 an excellent choice for working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, where minimizing the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is crucial for maintaining corrosion resistance and structural integrity.

Safety and durability are core components of the United Abrasives manufacturing process. These wheels are externally reinforced with high-quality fiberglass layers, providing the structural integrity needed to withstand the lateral forces and high RPMs of modern angle grinders. Proudly manufactured in the United States, the Ultimate Ceramic™ series delivers consistent performance that industrial users rely on. Whether you are cutting structural carbon steel, stainless piping, or high-tensile alloys, this 50-pack ensures you have the high-performance consumables needed to keep production moving efficiently.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Self-Sharpening Grain: Ceramic aluminum oxide fractures to maintain sharpness, extending wheel life.
  • Cool Cutting Action: Thin profile and aggressive grain reduce heat buildup on the workpiece.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Rated for a maximum of 10,200 RPM, fitting standard 6-inch angle grinders with a 7/8-inch arbor.

FAQ

It is designed for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, with a specific focus on carbon steel, stainless steel, and hard-to-grind high-tensile alloys.

Ceramic grain is self-sharpening; it micro-fractures during use to continuously expose new, sharp cutting edges, providing a longer life and cooler cut compared to standard abrasives.

This wheel fits 6-inch angle grinders or circular saws that accept a 7/8-inch arbor and are rated for at least 10,200 RPM.

This is a Type 1 (also known as Type 41) flat cut-off wheel, designed for cutting only, not for grinding.

This product is a pack of 50 wheels.

Yes, it is externally reinforced with fiberglass layers to provide ultimate safety in a thin wheel design.

The maximum safe operating speed is 10,200 RPM.
