Metallics CSW51 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Type 27 wheel and how is it different from a Type 1 cutoff wheel?
Type 27 is the depressed center (raised hub) shape, which keeps the mounting flange back from the work and gives clearance in tight corners and against flat surfaces. Type 1 is a flat wheel with a plain center. The CSW51 is the Type 27 shape in a 5 inch size, so if your drawing or shop standard calls for a flat Type 1 disc, this is not the same profile.
2) Is a .045 inch thick cutoff wheel thin enough for electrical conduit and strut?
At .045 inch the CSW51 is a thin-kerf wheel, which is what electricians use for cutting EMT, rigid conduit, all-thread rod, and strut channel. The thin section removes less material and cuts faster with less heat than a 1/8 inch wheel, but it is a cutting wheel only, not for grinding or side pressure.
3) Can I use the CSW51 wheel to grind down a weld or clean up a cut edge?
No. A .045 inch wheel is built for cutting only, and putting it on edge to grind or deburr risks fracturing it. For weld dressing or edge cleanup you want a 1/8 inch thick grinding wheel in the same 5 inch diameter and 7/8 inch arbor so it fits the same grinder.
4) What part number do I order to reorder the same 5 inch Metallics cutoff wheel?
Order Metallics CSW51. That one part number covers the 5 inch diameter, .045 inch thick, 7/8 inch arbor Type 27 wheel, and there are no size or thickness options to pick, so the model number alone is enough to standardize across a crew or a stockroom.
