22385 - Sait Ultimate Cut 5-Inch Type 27 Multi-Material Cutting Wheel

High-Performance Multi-Material Cutting Solution

The Sait 22385 Ultimate Cut Type 27 Cutting Wheel represents a versatile solution for industrial fabrication environments requiring efficiency across multiple material types. Engineered with a proprietary abrasive formulation, this 5-inch wheel is designed to deliver exceptional cutting performance on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum. The ability to transition between these materials without experiencing the glazing or loading often associated with standard abrasives makes it a critical asset for mixed-metal workshops.

Structurally, the wheel features a Type 27 depressed center geometry. This design not only provides increased rigidity during operation but also allows the operator to perform flush cuts against surfaces, a task difficult to achieve with flat Type 1 wheels. The reinforced construction ensures structural integrity under the lateral stresses sometimes encountered during manual cutting operations, although it is primarily designed for perpendicular cutting forces.

With a thickness of just .045 inches, the Sait Ultimate Cut minimizes the kerf width, resulting in less material removal and significantly reduced friction. This reduction in friction translates to lower heat generation, which is paramount when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel to prevent heat tinting or metallurgical changes at the cut zone. The 7/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with standard 5-inch angle grinders found in most industrial MRO settings.

For procurement and safety officers, this wheel meets rigorous industry safety standards. Its consistent wear rate allows for predictable maintenance schedules and inventory management. By consolidating the need for separate wheels for aluminum and steel, the Sait 22385 streamlines inventory requirements and reduces the risk of cross-contamination in sensitive applications.
