Description
Whitby Abrasives Green Extra Sharp cutting wheels are designed for fast, smooth cutting on stainless steel, steel, and general metal fabrication materials. Compared with regular black cutting wheels, the green cutting disc is built for a sharper, more aggressive cutting feel, making it a strong choice when cutting speed and clean finish matter. This bundle includes both 4-1/2" and 5" sizes (0.045" x 7/8") in 500-pack cases.
The green abrasive formulation provides a self-sharpening cutting action that maintains a sharp edge, so the wheel cuts faster with less drag, less heat, and a smoother cut through stainless steel, tubing, sheet metal, bar stock, steel pipe, galvanized steel, and other ferrous metals. The thin 0.045" profile reduces material loss, and the 7/8" arbor fits common angle grinders.
