OVERVIEW

Slice Through Metal with Precision and Speed

Upgrade your angle grinder with the Sait 22235 Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel, a versatile powerhouse built for welders who need reliable performance across every job. Known in the trade for its exceptional cutting speed, this .045-inch thin wheel—often referred to as a "zip" style disc—glides through metal with minimal resistance. Whether you are prepping a weld joint, cutting out old welds, or sizing stock for a custom project, the SAIT 22235 delivers a smooth, fast cut that feels controlled and aggressive.

What sets this wheel apart is its ability to tackle the "Big Three" metals: Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum. Usually, aluminum requires a specific wheel to prevent loading (clogging), and stainless requires a contaminant-free bond to prevent rust. Sait has engineered this wheel to handle all three, making it the ultimate "grab-and-go" disc for your tool bag. You won't have to waste time swapping discs when moving from a mild steel bracket to an aluminum frame. The cut is clean and virtually burr-free, saving you valuable time on cleanup and deburring.

The Type 1 flat design allows you to utilize the full diameter of the wheel for cutting, making it excellent for slicing through tubing, bar stock, and sheet metal. The fiberglass reinforcement provides the structural integrity needed for safe operation at high RPMs. Experience the difference of a professional-grade abrasive that balances long life with rapid cutting speed, helping you finish your welding projects faster and with better results.

Why Welders Choose This Wheel

  • Versatility: Cuts Steel, Stainless, and Aluminum effectively, perfect for custom fab shops.
  • Speed: The ultra-thin profile slices through metal quickly, reducing operator fatigue.
  • Finish Quality: Leaves a clean edge that requires minimal preparation before welding.

FAQ

This wheel is formulated to cut Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and Aluminum effectively.

The wheel is .045 inches thick, providing a thin kerf for fast, low-heat cutting.

Yes, it has a 7/8" arbor and a 4-1/2" diameter, which fits standard 4-1/2" angle grinders.

This is a Type 1 (flat) wheel, designed specifically for cutting, not grinding.

No, Type 1 cut-off wheels are designed for cutting only. Using them for side grinding is dangerous and can cause wheel failure.

It is designed to resist loading better than standard steel wheels, making it suitable for aluminum cutting.

The maximum safe operating speed is typically 13,300 RPM for 4-1/2" wheels, but always check the label on the actual product.

A .045" wheel removes less material, cuts faster, and generates less heat than a thicker 1/8" wheel.
