Cutting Disc Makita INOX 125 x 1.0 mm E-17120-12 for stainless steel

Makita INOX cutting disc 125 x 1.0 mm E-17120-12 is a thin abrasive wheel designed for cutting stainless steel and similar ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 1.0 mm thickness reduces material loss and allows fast, precise cuts with minimal burr. Intended for use with 125 mm angle grinders, this disc delivers a balance of cutting speed and control for sheet metal, pipes and profiles in workshop, construction and repair environments.

Advantages

The thin 1.0 mm construction provides high cutting efficiency and reduced kerf, helping to save material and minimize finishing work. The abrasive composition is tuned for stainless steel to limit heat build-up and discoloration along the cut. The 125 mm diameter fits standard angle grinders and the disc’s design supports stable performance and predictable cutting behavior during straight and curved cuts.

Suitable for

• Cutting stainless steel sheets and plates
• Trimming pipes, tubes and profiles made of stainless or similar metals
• Metalworking tasks in repair and maintenance
• On-site cutting in construction where compact angle grinders are used

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 125 mm
• Thickness: 1.0 mm (thin cutting disc)
• Intended tool: angle grinder with 125 mm wheels
• Primary material target: stainless steel and similar metals
• Design focus: fast, precise cuts with reduced material loss

How to use

Fit the disc on a compatible 125 mm angle grinder following the tool manufacturer’s mounting instructions and ensure the grinder is unplugged or its battery is removed during installation. Securely tighten the flange and guard. Start the grinder and allow it to reach full speed before approaching the workpiece. Use steady, controlled feed pressure and maintain a consistent cutting angle to achieve a clean cut; avoid forcing the disc through the material. After cutting, allow the disc to stop fully before setting the tool down. Always follow the angle grinder and disc safety guidelines provided by Makita and the tool manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and face protection, gloves and hearing protection. Match disc RPM rating with the grinder’s maximum speed and avoid side grinding or using the disc for grinding tasks. For best results on stainless steel, use light, continuous passes and allow cooling intervals on thicker sections to reduce heat-related discoloration.
