Diamond crown DISTAR RS-TX cutting wheel by Milwaukee, size 1 1/4" (142 mm) x 450 mm, designed for dry cutting on floor saws and concrete cutters. This professional abrasive accessory features a continuous diamond segment edge engineered to provide efficient cutting of hard materials such as concrete, asphalt and natural stone. The wheel is intended for attachment to compatible machines that accept a 142 mm bore and 450 mm diameter, delivering stable rotation and precise linear cuts under dry operating conditions.
Advantages
The DISTAR RS-TX wheel offers high cutting speed and long service life due to its diamond segment geometry and optimized bond composition. Its design reduces clogging and overheating during dry cutting, maintaining consistent cutting performance. The rigid construction supports straight, accurate cuts and reliable alignment on standard floor saws, while the segment layout helps evacuate dust and debris to sustain cutting efficiency.
Suitable for
- Dry cutting of reinforced and plain concrete
- Asphalt removal and trimming
- Cutting of natural and engineered stone
- Use with floor saws and walk-behind concrete cutters

How to use
Install the cutting wheel on a compatible floor saw or concrete cutter following the machine manufacturer's mounting and safety instructions. Ensure the wheel is correctly centered on the arbor and fastened to the specified torque. Operate the machine at the recommended speed range for the wheel and apply steady feed with controlled pressure to maintain a straight cut. Because the wheel is intended for dry cutting, avoid using water cooling; monitor the wheel temperature and allow cooling pauses if overheating is detected. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye, ear and respiratory protection, and follow local safety regulations for dust control.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and longevity, select feed rates and machine speeds suited to the material hardness: higher speeds and lighter feed for softer concretes, slower advance for very hard or abrasive mixes. Regularly inspect the wheel for uneven wear or damage and replace if cracks or severe segment loss appear. Use dust extraction where possible and avoid excessive lateral forces to prevent premature damage.
