Highlights
- 4-1/2 INCH GRINDING WHEELS, 5 PACK: Five Type 27 depressed center grinding discs measuring 4-1/2 x 1/4 x 7/8 inch. The quarter-inch thickness carries heavy stock removal, and the depressed center clears the guard on any standard 4.5-inch angle grinder.
- METAL AND STAINLESS STEEL: Grinds down welds, mill scale, rust, and burrs on carbon steel, stainless, cast iron, and other ferrous metal. Fabricators reach for these metal grinding discs on weld cleanup, edge prep ahead of welding, and work that finishes flat.
- A24 ALUMINUM OXIDE, FIBERGLASS REINFORCED: Extra coarse 24 grit aluminum oxide in a hard resinoid bond pulls material fast and holds a usable profile as the grinding wheel (4-1/2 inch) wears. Fiberglass runs through the disc for side-load strength under heavy grinding.
- PRECISION-BALANCED, RUNS TRUE: These 4-1/2 inch angle grinder discs are built flat and balanced to spin true with minimal wobble and vibration for smooth, steady, consistent results; fit any standard 4-1/2" grinder with a 7/8" arbor, rated to 13,300 RPM.
- TRUSTED BY PROS: BHA (formerly Black Hawk Abrasives) is a name welders, fabricators, and metalworkers rely on - delivering consistent cut quality and dependable performance job after job, backed by real customer support.

Detailed Review
The BHA 4.5-inch grinding wheel pack provides five Type 27 depressed center discs designed for heavy stock removal on metal surfaces. Built for welders, fabricators, and metalworkers, these wheels tackle tasks like grinding down fresh welds, taking off mill scale, removing rust, and stripping sharp burrs before welding.
Each disc measures 4-1/2 inches across with a 1/4-inch thickness, giving it enough body to handle aggressive stock removal without falling apart quickly. The abrasive composition relies on coarse A24 aluminum oxide held together in a hard resinoid bond, which helps the disc retain a workable edge shape through extended use. Integrated fiberglass reinforcement provides side-load strength, keeping the wheel stable under firm downward and angled pressure.
Compatibility is straightforward for standard workshop setups. These discs feature a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole and are rated to operate safely at speeds up to 13,300 RPM on any standard 4.5-inch angle grinder. The depressed center design helps clear the tool guard while keeping the disc flat against the workpiece to minimize wobble, vibration, and chatter during use.
Keep in mind that the extra coarse 24-grit formulation is engineered specifically for fast material removal rather than fine finishing, so work requiring a polished surface will need additional steps. Furthermore, these discs are formulated for ferrous metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, rather than non-ferrous materials.
Verdict: This five-pack is a dependable pick for fabricators and welders who need fast, aggressive stock removal on ferrous metals. If you need steady, balanced grinding wheels for weld prep, smoothing rough joints, or clearing heavy scale on a standard 4.5-inch angle grinder, this set fits the bill.
