OVERVIEW

Cut Aluminum Without the Clog

Every welder knows the frustration of taking a standard cutting wheel to a piece of aluminum. Within seconds, the wheel gums up, stops cutting, and starts generating dangerous amounts of heat. The United Abrasives 22360 A46N wheel is the solution to that headache. It is built with a special recipe that resists loading, meaning it keeps cutting aggressively even through soft, sticky metals like aluminum, copper, and brass. You spend less time changing glazed-over wheels and more time getting the job done. The .045-inch thin profile slices through material with incredible speed, leaving a clean edge that requires less cleanup before you lay down your next bead.

Better Visibility, Safer Cuts

This wheel features a Type 27 depressed center design, which is a favorite among fabricators for a reason. The raised hub allows the locking nut to sit flush or below the cutting plane, letting you get the wheel flat against a guide or into tight corners without the grinder hardware getting in the way. It also improves rigidity, giving you more control and less wobble when you are making precise cuts. Plus, the depressed center shape gives you a better line of sight to your cut, so you can follow your scribe lines accurately without guessing.

American Made Reliability

When you are spinning a disc at over 10,000 RPM, you want to trust what you are holding. United Abrasives/SAIT manufactures these wheels right here in the USA, reinforcing them with external fiberglass layers for maximum safety. They are tough, reliable, and consistent. This 50-pack ensures your shop is stocked up for the long haul, making it a smart investment for any crew doing serious aluminum fabrication. Whether you are building boat hulls, truck boxes, or custom railings, these wheels deliver the performance you need to stay profitable.

FAQ

The A46N features a specialized soft bond and grain formulation designed specifically for aluminum. Standard wheels are too hard and will 'load' or clog with soft aluminum, stopping the cut. The A46N sheds grain properly to keep the cutting face clean.

While it physically can cut steel, it is not recommended. The soft bond designed for aluminum will wear down extremely fast on harder ferrous metals like steel, making it uneconomical. Use a Z-Tech or A60S wheel for steel.

The Type 27 shape allows the mounting nut to be recessed, enabling flush cutting and providing greater rigidity. It also typically offers better visibility of the cutting zone compared to flat Type 1 wheels.

No, this is a reinforced abrasive cut-off wheel designed to be mounted directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange and locking nut. No backing pad is required.

The maximum safe operating speed is 10,200 RPM. Always ensure your angle grinder's no-load speed does not exceed this rating.

No. This is a .045" thick cut-off wheel designed for cutting only. It should not be used for side grinding or deburring, as the thin profile cannot withstand the side pressure and may shatter.

Operators should always wear a face shield (over safety glasses), heavy gloves, and hearing protection. A proper wheel guard must always be installed on the grinder.
