Cutting Wheel Distar 17015424010 — abrasive metal cutting disc, 170×1.5×22.23 mm

Distar 17015424010 abrasive cutting wheel is designed for cutting metal with angle grinders. The disc measures 170×1.5×22.23 mm (outer diameter × thickness × bore) and features a thin cutting profile that minimises material loss while enabling precise straight cuts in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals. Reinforced construction provides mechanical strength for safe operation at high rotational speeds and the standard 22.23 mm bore ensures compatibility with common grinder arbors.

Advantages

The thin 1.5 mm section reduces burr formation and decreases cutting time and material waste. Reinforcement in the disc body increases durability and resistance to deformation during heavy-duty use. The wheel is balanced for stable rotation, which helps improve cut quality and reduces vibration. Compatibility with standard arbor diameters simplifies mounting and replacement.

Suitable for

• Straight cuts in steel sheet, angle iron and profile sections
• Cutting cast iron parts and plumbing components
• Trimming non-ferrous metal workpieces such as aluminium and brass
• On-site metal fabrication and repair with handheld angle grinders

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 170 mm
• Thickness (cutting section): 1.5 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 22.23 mm
• Material type: abrasive metal cutting wheel suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Construction: reinforced for high-speed rotation

How to use

Inspect the cutting wheel for visible damage before installation. Mount the disc on an angle grinder with a matching 22.23 mm arbor and secure it with the correct flange and nut following the tool manufacturer's instructions. Operate the grinder at the permitted rotational speed indicated on the wheel and use steady, even pressure to guide the cut without forcing the disc. Allow the wheel to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece and keep the cut line clear of clamps and obstacles. After use, store discs in a dry, flat position to avoid warping.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. Select the correct grinder speed and avoid side-loading the disc; the wheel is intended for cutting motions, not grinding with the flank. For the best life and cutting quality, use light, continuous passes rather than repeated heavy plunges.
