Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Durable DEWALT DW8426H Metal Cutting Wheel - Perfect for Effortless 6-Inch Metal Cutting with 5/8-11 Arbor Compatibility by Patrick Burns

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quality control issues, cross-threaded wheels and short lifespan.

Many times I have bought this particular disc and considered buying other cutting discs. First of all, this is a DeWalt wheel, so I thought it would be really high quality, like the rest of the DeWalt tool line. First of all, this disc is a cutting disc and a consumable item, so we know it has been in "borrowed time" since the beginning of its life. It's not the thickest separator wheel either - there are more expensive ones out there. It is very suitable for cutting stainless steel and I have had no problems with it. For galvanized metal, I really had to take the time to let the wheel do its job. After a few hours (3?) I found that my impeller had burned out. I was expecting at least a slightly longer lifespan. After ordering the second and third wheels, a transverse thread was cut on one of the shafts. So there are definitely some other quality control issues. There are probably better 5 inch wheels for this price.

Pros
  • Abrasive discs and discs
Cons
  • Almost never
