49-94-0023 6-Inch Type-1 Metal Cutting Wheel, 0.045-In Thick

The Milwaukee 49-94-0023 is a precision-engineered abrasive cutting wheel designed for rapid, clean cuts on ferrous metals. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a 0.045-inch thickness and 7/8-inch arbor, this Type-1 wheel fits both handheld angle grinders and bench-mounted cutting tools. It delivers the speed and accuracy demanded by metalworking professionals and construction crews tackling carbon steel, stainless steel, angle iron, pipe, rebar and other metal substrates.

This wheel combines advanced resin bonding with premium grit to achieve extended service life and faster material removal compared to standard abrasive discs. The result is smoother edges, reduced vibration, and greater productivity on jobs that require both efficiency and precision. Its reinforced fiberglass construction resists cracking under load, while the balanced design reduces user fatigue during prolonged cutting.

Features and Benefits

• Extended durability: Advanced resin technology delivers longer wheel life, reducing replacement costs and downtime on the job.
• Accelerated cutting speed: Optimized grains provide faster material removal, shaving seconds off each cut.
• Reinforced construction: Two layers of high-tenacity fiberglass enhance structural integrity and crack resistance.
• Clean, consistent finish: Produces burr-free edges and maintains control, minimizing secondary grinding and finishing work.
• Versatile metal compatibility: Ideal for carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, angle iron, pipe and rebar.
