Review on DEWALT DW4906 8 Inch Crimped 014 Inch by Jose Strong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great balance but so damn wide

In my search I found two plain 8" spoked Dewalt wheels. It is one and one is described as "wide". hate to see really far. I mean the width of the wires on the outer edge. I needed a narrower wheel to clear smaller sections and this is just too wide. As other reviewers noted, the core section that slides on the shaft is also wider than most other spoked wheels and I had to make adjustments to cope with that, but that was acceptable to me. The balanced wire wheel out of the box I've ever put on my mill. Almost no vibration. Especially compared to the big household brand L. I could start cutting the wire to get a narrower working lip but I'll leave it as is and use an alternative narrow wheel solution. I took a st. Don't worry about the mounting issue as this is a design issue that clearly affects many users.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
