Makita B-12217 Thin Cutting Wheel 115 x 1.0 x 22.23mm A60T

Specifications include: 115 mm diameter, 1.0 mm thickness, 22.23 mm arbor (bore), abrasive type: aluminum oxide, thin wheel design, reinforced construction for durability, and suitability for a range of metal-cutting tasks.

It's suitable for cutting metal such as stainless steel, steel sheet metal, and other common fabrication materials when paired with a compatible 115 mm angle grinder.

The 1 mm thin profile minimizes material loss, reduces heat buildup, and enables faster, cleaner cuts with smoother finishes compared to thicker wheels.

Installation steps: 1) unplug the grinder and remove the old wheel. 2) Inspect the new wheel for cracks or damage. 3) Align the wheel with the grinder’s arbor and slide it onto the spindle. 4) Secure with the flange and nut; tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening. 5) Refit the wheel guard and test run at low speed to ensure proper operation. Always use the appropriate guard and follow your grinder’s safety guidelines.

Wear essential PPE: safety glasses or a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use. Ensure the grinder’s guard is in place, use proper wheel guards, avoid side pressure, and never exceed the grinder’s rated speed for the wheel.

Choose this wheel when you need fast, precise cuts with minimal material loss on metal, especially for stainless steel or sheet metal. The ultra-thin 1 mm profile helps reduce heat buildup and improves cutting speed, making it a strong choice for professional fabrication and high-precision DIY tasks.

Common use cases include metal fabrication, automotive repairs, plumbing installations, HVAC ductwork, and general construction tasks where clean, efficient metal cuts are required.

Use the correct grinder speed and avoid excessive side loading. Ensure the wheel is compatible with your grinder’s RPM rating, maintain proper guard positioning, and use a steady feed rate rather than forcing the cut. Store wheels in a dry place to prevent moisture-induced degradation.

Yes, for users prioritizing fast, clean cuts with reduced heat buildup, the 1 mm thin design offers efficiency and material savings. Compare price, durability, and availability against other 115 mm thin-cut wheels on Fepy to determine the best value for your specific use case.
