When you’re moving from small brackets to structural plate, wide sheet, or large-diameter tubing, a standard 4.5" disc forces too many repositions. The BHA 6" Aluminum Cut-Off Wheel is engineered for high-capacity production, offering a deeper reach and more surface area per stroke to finish long runs faster. Built with a specialized AO+SiC hybrid blend, this disc solves the primary challenge of 6" non-ferrous cutting: heat management. While standard wheels 'plow' and melt the metal into the abrasive, this wheel slices and self-cleans, keeping you moving through thick aluminum, copper, and brass without the disc glazing over.
See full specifications below.
| Material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Aluminum | Sheet, plate, flat bar, large-diameter tubing. The 6" diameter reduces repositioning on wide or long stock compared to smaller discs. |
| Copper | Large-diameter pipe, bus bar, sheet. Wider disc covers more per pass on larger copper stock. |
| Brass | Bar stock, fittings, plate. Cuts without loading or buildup. |
| Bronze | Fittings, bar stock, plate. |
| Other non-ferrous soft metals | Any non-ferrous metal with a low melting point. Verify Max RPM is not exceeded for the application. |
| Steel / stainless steel | Not recommended. Use a standard aluminum oxide cut off wheel for ferrous metals. |

Same AO+SiC blend and 25-pack quantity — size determines which grinder they fit and how much material is covered per pass.
Need a 6" disc for steel or ferrous metals?
The main factor is stock width and production volume. On narrow material or occasional cuts, a 4.5" disc is lighter and easier to maneuver. On wide sheet, plate, or large-diameter tubing — especially in production where you're making the same cut repeatedly — the 6" covers more material per pass and reduces total repositioning time. If you're running dozens of cuts per day on the same wide stock, the efficiency adds up.
Copper, brass, bronze, and other non-ferrous soft metals. The AO+SiC blend is specifically designed for materials with a low melting point that would cause a standard ferrous disc to load up and fail. Not recommended for steel or stainless — use a standard aluminum oxide cut off wheel for ferrous metals.
6" angle grinders with a standard 7/8" arbor — DeWalt®, Makita®, Milwaukee®, Metabo®, Bosch®, and most other brands. Max RPM is 10,200. Confirm your grinder's rated speed does not exceed that before use. This disc does not fit 4.5" or 5" grinders.
Yes. MPA burst testing confirms the disc holds structurally at Max RPM. ANSI B7.1 and EN 12413 are the US and European safety standards for bonded abrasive cut-off wheels. Manufacturing is ISO 9001 certified. Max RPM is marked on each disc — do not exceed it.
