Benchmark Abrasives 5 Aluminum Oxide Quality Thin Cut Off Wheel for Metal and Stainless Steel 0.045 Thick 7/8 Arbor, Angle Grinder Wheel, Fast Burr-Free Cutting Wheel - 50 Pack

these last longer than the name brand I used to buy, for about a third the price

one of this = one and half 4.5x.040x7/8 Cut Off Wheels

Great wheel for price or productivity .Only Brand I will use Benchmark

I purchased these to disassemble pallets made from steel rectangular tubing by cutting them apart through the welds. Ive been using several other brands of 4 1/2 cutting discs, and have run into short life, slow cutting, and even exploding failures. Not fun. I tried these Benchmark Abrasives cutoff wheels based on the reviews here on Amazon, and have found them to be the best Ive found. The extra half inch in diameter not only helps them last longer, theyll cut deeper when theyre fresh, and at a more shallow angle, both of which are a big help in my application. The thinness and aggressiveness of the abrasive help them cut fast with lighter pressure, which also helps them last. Theyre especially good when used with battery powered tools because they help the batteries last longer. And when I screw up and pinch one, it hangs together and doesnt explode, making them safer to use. Im on my second pack of 50, and that wont be my last.

These are good quality cut off wheels for the price. These are lasting longer than other name brands for sure and I use them a lot.

I’ve been in the welding industry for over 20 years and I’ve used a lot of different cut off wheels. These performed just as good if not better than all of the name brand for 10 times the price. I will definitely be buying more in the future.

Hands down the fastest cutting longest lasting cut off blades I have ever used. I have worked with steel for over 30 years and used everything from cheap harbor freight to high end that cost a ton... They pale in comparison. I cut a 6x6 3/16 wall tube into 6 pieces including angle cuts... Using 1 blade. I finished the project with the second.

So far so good, seems decent quality.

Youll go through these faster than other brands however they are durable meaning I havent had one explode even after binding(Watch the chattering itll literally eat the wheel up. Common with most thin cut-off wheels) and for the cost you cant go wrong. For example Ive cut 6X6X3/16 box steel which the wheels will cut off about 1 1/2 pieces before replacing. There are other wheels thatll make almost 3 cuts but are 4 times as expensive.

Pretty good deal
