Makita A-87672 Cut-off Wheel 355 x 3 x 25.4mm A36P

Diameter: 355 mm; Wheel thickness: 3 mm; Bore (spindle) size: 25.4 mm. It uses a durable aluminum oxide abrasive for long-lasting sharpness, low vibration during use, and high cutting efficiency for metalworking tasks.

It fits most angle grinders that accept a 355 x 3 x 25.4 mm wheel. The bore is 25.4 mm, and the wheel is compatible with Makita and other leading brands that support standard 355 mm, 3 mm thick, 25.4 mm bore discs.

Power off and unplug the grinder, remove the old wheel, and inspect for cracks. Align the wheel with the spindle bore (25.4 mm) and securely tighten with the appropriate nut while keeping the guard in place. Before cutting, run the grinder briefly to verify it spins true, then apply steady, controlled pressure and keep hands clear of the cut. Always wear proper PPE (eye protection, gloves, hearing protection, and a face shield).

It's optimized for steel, iron, and non-ferrous metals. You should see fast cutting and a smooth kerf with minimal burrs, especially when using the grinder at the recommended speed and with proper feed rates.

The wheel is designed to meet common safety expectations for bonded abrasive tools. Always use a guard, follow the grinder’s rated speed, and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use. Use appropriate PPE and operate in a well-ventilated area.

Yes, thanks to its durable aluminum oxide abrasive, long life, and low vibration, it provides efficient cutting with fewer replacements. If you’re doing frequent metal cutting, the cost per cut stays favorable due to the wheel’s longevity.

Store in a dry, clean area away from impacts or heavy loads. Inspect for cracks or chips before each use. Keep it in its packaging or a dedicated abrasive wheel rack to prevent surface damage and contamination. Avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperature changes that could affect performance.

Use a steady feed rate and avoid forcing the wheel through material. Maintain proper guard alignment and cool the cut with light passes if cutting thicker sections. Let the wheel do the work at its rated speed, and consider a finishing pass with light pressure to reduce burrs.

Always check the wheel’s label for the maximum RPM and never exceed it. Run the grinder at its rated speed and ensure the wheel spins true with no wobble. If in doubt, consult the grinder’s manual and the wheel packaging for the exact rating.
