Cutting Wheel for Metal AWTools 125 x 22.2 x 1.2 mm (AW40403)

AWTools cutting wheel for metal AW40403, 125 x 22.2 x 1.2 mm, is a thin abrasive disc designed for use with standard angle grinders. The disc's 125 mm diameter and 22.2 mm centre hole fit common 5" grinder flanges, while the 1.2 mm thickness enables fast, narrow cuts with reduced material loss. This cutting wheel is intended for cutting steel and other ferrous metals in fabrication, sheet metal work and repair tasks where precision and speed are required.

Advantages

The thin 1.2 mm abrasive edge minimises burrs and material waste while allowing high cutting speed. The standard 22.2 mm bore ensures compatibility with most angle grinders and flanges, making replacement straightforward. The compact 125 mm diameter provides good access in confined spaces and gives a balance between cutting depth and tool manoeuvrability. The disc construction is optimised for metal cutting to deliver consistent performance under normal working conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel sheets and plates
• Trimming metal pipes and profiles
• Automotive bodywork and repair
• Metal fabrication and workshop tasks
• Maintenance and on-site repair work

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Bore: 22.2 mm
• Thickness: 1.2 mm
• Application: cutting ferrous metals
• Tool compatibility: standard angle grinders with 22.2 mm flange

How to use

Mount the cutting wheel on a compatible angle grinder following the tool manufacturer's instructions and ensure the flange and nut are correctly seated and tightened. Always check the disc for visible damage before use. Operate the grinder at the recommended speed range for a 125 mm abrasive disc and make steady, controlled passes through the metal to achieve a clean cut. Allow the disc to do the work—avoid excessive pressure that can overload the wheel or produce uneven cuts.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves, hearing protection and protective clothing. Secure the workpiece firmly and keep bystanders at a safe distance. Do not use the disc for grinding, flap applications, or on non-metal materials that exceed the disc's intended use. Replace the wheel if it shows cracks, chips, or significant wear.
