Depressed center, type 27, edge-grinding wheels may be mounted
with either matching flanges or with depressed center flanges if
they are under 5" in diameter. 6" depressed center edge-grinding
wheels (for DW827 only) must be mounted with depressed center
flanges only. Refer to the chart below to select the appropriate
flange and guard for your wheel.
CAUTION: Wheels used for cutting and edge grinding may break if
they bend or twist while the tool is being used to do cut-off work or
deep grinding. To reduce the risk of serious injury, limit the use of
these wheels with a standard type 27 guard to shallow cutting and

positioned away from the operator. For deeper cutting with a type 1
wheel, use a closed, type 1 guard (FIG. 2). Type 1 guards are avail-
