dengebre Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I require a 7" grinder that can accept Type 1 abrasive wheels or Type 1A cutting wheels. I recently purchased a Dewalt 7" grinder (Model #DW840K). To my dismay it only accepts Type 27 disks (it does not mention that anywhere on the box). Is there an adapter I can get? I see on-line that Dewalt offers a Type 1 flange set (D284932) but I do not know if it can be used with my model. I called the local Dewalt Service Center but they had no answers. Thank you in advance for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjones Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I don't have mine in front of me, so I can't look at it to be sure, but it may be a "grinding only" grinder. If you need a 7" cutting wheel, you can return the grinder and get something like the D28499X. It is a large angle grinder, but it takes a 7-9" wheel, and it takes type 1 disks, so that might be your best bet. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
