The DeWALT FLEXVOLT 9-in. (230mm) Ceramic Metal Cut-Off Wheel delivers fast, clean, and durable performance when cutting stainless steel, ferrous metals, and non-ferrous metals. Engineered with a tough ceramic grain featuring a very fine crystal structure, this cutoff wheel creates many more cutting edges per grain than standard abrasives - translating to higher stock removal rates, smoother cuts, and extended wheel life on demanding jobsite applications. Optimized for use with the DeWALT XR FLEXVOLT Cutoff Saw (DCS690), this Type 1 wheel is the go-to choice for professionals who need reliable, burr-free metal cutting without contaminating the workpiece.

Key Features

• Ceramic abrasive grain with very fine crystal structure - generates more cutting edges per grain for faster, more aggressive metal removal compared to conventional abrasive grains
• 5/64 in. (0.045 in.) thin wheel design - reduces material drag during cutting, producing fast and burr-free results that minimize secondary finishing work
• Formulated free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine - prevents contamination of the cut surface, making it safe for use on stainless steel and other sensitive metals where contaminants can cause corrosion or weld failures
• Optimized material mix for long wheel life - the ceramic grain bond is engineered for durability so the wheel lasts longer between changes, keeping productivity high on the job
• Designed specifically for the DeWALT XR FLEXVOLT Cutoff Saw (DCS690) - ensures maximum runtime and optimized cutting performance when paired with that saw platform
• Maximum speed of 6,600 RPM - rated for the high rotational demands of professional cutoff saws so users can work at full tool speed with confidence
• 7/8 in. arbor size - fits the standard mounting of compatible DeWALT cutoff saws for secure, vibration-free tool mounting

Why This Product

• Stainless steel cutting without contamination - the iron-free, sulfur-free, and chlorine-free ceramic formula means no surface contamination that could compromise weld integrity or lead to corrosion on stainless steel workpieces
• Purpose-built for the DeWALT FLEXVOLT platform - designed and optimized specifically for the DCS690 cordless cutoff saw, so users get the longest possible battery runtime and peak cutting performance from their existing tool investment
• One wheel handles multiple metal types - rated for stainless steel, ferrous, and non-ferrous metal cutting, reducing the need to swap wheels when working with mixed materials on the same job
• Made in Germany with ceramic abrasive technology - the very fine crystal grain structure supports high stock removal rates while maintaining a long usable wheel life, reducing downtime and per-cut cost on high-volume cutting tasks

Frequently Asked Questions

What saw is this wheel designed to work with?

This ceramic cutoff wheel is specifically designed and optimized for use with the DeWALT XR FLEXVOLT Cutoff Saw (DCS690). Using it with its intended saw ensures long battery runtime and maximum cutting productivity on the jobsite.

Can this wheel be used to cut stainless steel?

Yes. The ceramic abrasive formula is free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, which makes it safe for cutting stainless steel without introducing surface contaminants that could cause corrosion or compromise weld quality. It is also rated for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting.

What is the maximum operating speed for this wheel?

This wheel is rated for a maximum speed of 6,600 RPM. Always ensure your tool's rated speed does not exceed this value before use.

Why does the thin 0.045 in. thickness matter for cutting performance?

The 0.045 in. (5/64 in.) thin wheel design reduces friction and drag as the wheel moves through the material, resulting in faster cutting speeds and burr-free cut edges. This reduces the time needed for secondary cleanup or deburring after the cut is made.
