Cutting Disc Makita 125x6 mm for Steel, model B-46268

Makita cutting disc 125x6 mm for steel, model B-46268, is a reinforced abrasive wheel engineered for cutting metal. The disc’s 125 mm diameter and 6 mm thickness deliver a balance between material removal rate and cutting stability for steelwork. It is designed to fit angle grinders with 125 mm wheels and to be used in workshop, construction and repair environments where controlled, straight cuts in steel are required. Always use appropriate guards and personal protective equipment when operating an angle grinder with this cutting disc.

Advantages

The 6 mm thickness provides efficient cutting through steel while reducing vibration and deflection compared to thinner cutoff wheels. The disc construction offers consistent edge wear for predictable cutting performance and improved durability under moderate-duty conditions. Compatibility with common 125 mm angle grinders allows straightforward replacement and integration into existing tool setups.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel pipes and profiles
• Trimming metal sheets
• Removing welds and grinding down joints
• On-site construction and workshop metal cutting tasks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Thickness: 6 mm
• Material compatibility: steel
• Intended tool type: 125 mm angle grinders
• Typical application: cutting operations on metal

How to use

Install the disc onto a compatible 125 mm angle grinder according to the grinder manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the disc is mounted in the correct orientation and tightened to the specified flange torque. Fit and check the condition of the guard and verify that the disc is free of visible damage before use. Position the grinder so the cutting force is applied steadily along the intended cut line; avoid side pressure or twisting motions that the disc is not designed to withstand. Allow the disc to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece and proceed with steady, controlled passes until the cut is complete. After use, let the disc stop naturally while clear of the workpiece before setting the tool down.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection, gloves and a dust mask. Ensure the angle grinder guard is in place and that the workpiece is securely clamped. Do not exceed the maximum operating speed specified by the disc and the grinder. Replace the disc if cracked, chipped or excessively worn.
