They boast about how thin it is \"Thin .045-Inch wheel\" but the actual
thickness is .065 inches!!!

The size in mm is probably correct. Another screw up caused by the
US imperialist system.

I\'ve never seen a real company make such an error. And it\'s like nobody
knows better, as if nobody has a caliper or cares to check how much
metal they\'re removing.

Dimwit trolls.

He found the same thing as you did: the DeWalt disc measured 0.70\" (8:42), but it did cut well. At some point, they must have changed the design, but not the label.
