Milwaukee PERFORMANCE+ Metal Cut Off Wheel, 5" X .045" X 7/8" - Type 27

The Milwaukee 49-94-0117 PERFORMANCE+ Metal Cut Off Wheel is a high-performance Type 27 cut-off wheel engineered for faster cutting, longer wheel life, and improved control in metal and stainless-steel applications. Featuring advanced aluminum oxide grain and an enhanced bonding structure, this wheel maintains sharp cutting performance while continuously exposing fresh abrasive grain for cleaner, more consistent cuts throughout its lifespan. Reinforced with 2 sheets of high-strength fiberglass and a high grain concentration, it delivers up to 5X longer life and 25% faster cutting compared to standard wheels. Designed for aggressive cutting on steel, pipe, rebar, and stainless materials, this wheel is basically what happens when productivity and sparks decide to work together.
