The Makita Type 42 Depressed Center Cut-Off Wheel is designed for professional cutting and fabrication tasks, delivering fast and precise results on steel and ferrous metals. With dimensions of 115 × 3 × 22.23 mm (4-1/2″ × 1/8″ × 7/8″), it is fully compatible with standard angle grinders.
Its T42 depressed centre design improves stability and control during cutting, especially when performing notching or slotting operations. The A30S-BF specification—aluminium oxide abrasive, medium grit, hard grade, resin-bonded and fiberglass-reinforced—ensures efficient cutting, durability, and safe operation.
Constructed from brown fused aluminium oxide and reinforced with fiberglass mesh, the disc offers strong resistance to mechanical stress such as heat, pressure, and impact. Certified to EN12413 standards, it meets European safety requirements and is suitable for cutting metal pipes, welds, extrusions, and structural steel components.
