Techniflex cut-off wheel for metal, size 180 x 3.2 x 22.2 mm, is a thin abrasive disc developed for cutting steel and other ferrous metals. The 3.2 mm thickness provides a balance between cutting speed and reduced material loss, while the 22.2 mm bore fits most standard angle grinders. This wheel is intended for applications requiring straight, accurate cuts in metal fabrication, maintenance, repair and construction tasks.
Advantages
The cut-off wheel delivers fast, efficient cutting performance with reduced burr formation compared to thicker discs. Its thin profile minimises kerf width and material waste, improving precision and decreasing cutting time. The wheel is compatible with common 22.2 mm bore angle grinders and is suitable for frequent use in workshop and on-site environments when cutting ferrous metals.
Suitable for
- Cutting mild and carbon steel
- Metal fabrication and trimming
- Automotive repair and bodywork
- Plumbing and HVAC metal pipe cutting
- Maintenance and construction site metal cutting
Key specifications
- Diameter: 180 mm
- Disc thickness: 3.2 mm
- Bore diameter: 22.2 mm
- Material type: abrasive wheel for ferrous metals
- Typical use: cutting (not grinding or sanding)
How to use
Mount the disc onto an angle grinder with a 22.2 mm arbor, ensuring the guard and flanges are correctly positioned and the wheel is secured according to the grinder manufacturer's instructions. Use appropriate rotation direction marking if present and allow the wheel to reach operating speed before initiating the cut. Apply steady, even pressure without forcing the disc; let the abrasive do the cutting. Do not use the wheel for side grinding or excessive lateral pressure, which can cause wheel damage or breakage. Replace the disc if it shows cracks, excessive wear, or uneven performance.
Usage recommendations
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety goggles, face shield, hearing protection, gloves and protective clothing. Use the cut-off wheel only at speeds within the grinder's rated RPM for 180 mm discs and observe all safety guidelines for abrasive wheels. Store discs flat in a dry area away from extremes of temperature and humidity.
