23804 - Sait 23804 4-1/2" x .090" Type 1 A60S Cut-Off Wheel

Technical Overview of the Sait 23804 Type 1 Wheel

The Sait 23804 is a high-performance abrasive cut-off wheel designed for industrial metalworking applications. Manufactured by United Abrasives / SAIT, this wheel utilizes a premium Aluminum Oxide grain structure bonded with a specialized resinoid formula. The specific grading of A60S indicates a 60-grit abrasive size combined with a hard 'S' bond, optimizing the wheel for extended life and consistent material removal rates on ferrous metals.

Measuring 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a .090-inch thickness, this wheel bridges the gap between ultra-thin slicers and standard 1/8-inch wheels. The .090-inch profile provides superior lateral stability, making it less prone to flexing or wandering during deep cuts, while still maintaining a relatively narrow kerf for efficiency. The Type 1 (flat) geometry is essential for operations requiring 90-degree perpendicular cuts, allowing the operator to utilize the full depth of the wheel without the interference of a depressed center.

This wheel features a standard 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with the vast majority of 4.5-inch angle grinders available in the industrial market. It is reinforced to withstand the high rotational forces and thermal stresses generated during dry cutting operations. The Sait 23804 is engineered to deliver a consistent cut rate throughout its lifespan, minimizing downtime for wheel changes and maximizing productivity in fabrication environments.
