Standard metal cutting discs load up fast on aluminum — the heat melts the material into the abrasive and the disc stops cutting. These BHA 4.5" aluminum cut off wheels use an aluminum oxide and silicon carbide blend that resists that buildup, stays cooler during the cut, and keeps working through aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze without gumming up. The .045" profile keeps the kerf narrow and the cut clean, which means less burr, less cleanup, and material that's ready for the next step faster. Comes in a 25-pack sized for shops that go through discs regularly and DIYers who want to stop running out mid-job.

| Material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Aluminum | Sheet, plate, angle iron, tubing, I-beam, bar stock. All thicknesses the disc is rated for. |
| Copper | Tubing, pipe, bus bar, sheet. Cuts cleanly without loading. |
| Brass | Bar stock, fittings, sheet. |
| Bronze | Fittings, bar stock. |
| Other non-ferrous soft metals | Any non-ferrous metal with a low melting point. Confirm Max RPM is not exceeded for the material. |
| Steel / stainless steel | Not recommended. Use a standard aluminum oxide cut off wheel for ferrous metals. |

Industrial & Bulk Procurement
These discs are stocked by fabrication shops, collision centers, and HVAC operations running regular non-ferrous cutting. If you're ordering for a crew or want case quantity pricing, contact us for a quote.
Request Bulk PricingAlso available for aluminum and non-ferrous metals in larger diameters for wider stock and different grinder sizes: 5" x .045" Cutting Disc for Aluminum and 6" x .045" Cutting Disc for Aluminum. Same AO+SiC blend and 25-pack quantity — size determines which grinder they fit and how much material is covered per pass.
Need a 4.5" disc for steel or ferrous metals?
You can, but a standard aluminum oxide disc designed for ferrous metals create intense friction and will load up quickly on aluminum. The heat from cutting melts aluminum particles into the abrasive grains — the disc glazes over and stops cutting, or fails entirely. A disc with an AO+SiC blend is formulated to resist that buildup and stay cutting longer on aluminum and other soft metals.
These discs work on aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and other non-ferrous soft metals. They are not recommended for steel or stainless steel — use a standard ferrous-rated cut off wheel for those materials.
These fit any 4.5" angle grinder with a standard 7/8" arbor — DeWalt®, Makita®, Metabo®, Milwaukee®, Bosch®, and most other brands. Max RPM is 13,300, so confirm your grinder's rated RPM does not exceed that before use.
Yes. These discs are MPA Tested and comply with ANSI B7.1 and EN 12413. Manufacturing is ISO 9001 certified. Max RPM is marked on each disc — do not exceed it.
