Cut-off wheels for metal 

Accessories for power tools that are designed for fast and accurate cutting of various parts and structures from different materials - cut-off wheels. They differ in outer diameter, hole size, thickness, grain volume and abrasive composition.

As a rule, all elements are reinforced with a special mesh, which gives them additional strength. It is not recommended to use instances without it.

Cut-off wheels are indispensable for various assembly and finishing works in turning and locksmith shops. You can buy for cutting some abrasive materials and metal: corners and channels, pipes and rods, cast iron blanks and stainless steel sheets, stone slabs and bricks, tiles, granite and limestone, various elements of wood.

Material and marking of cutting discs

The raw materials used for the manufacture are silicon carbide or electrocorundum (including zirconium). A bunch of bakelite or vulcanite with or without reinforcing components.

Many years ago, wheel markings and specifications left a lot to be desired. It was difficult to read, only an experienced specialist could figure it out. For our days, this data has been simplified. If an element bears the inscription “A 30 SBF”, it means that the cutting discs are made of abrasive grains of iron, sulfur and chlorine. S is a measure of hardness. The higher the ordinal number of the symbol, the higher this indicator. You should not buy products with the maximum level of hardness, because the head can be overheated, and the cutting particles of the abrasive are poorly cut. As a result, it is not possible to get a neat seam.

Terms of use of circles

Each disk has its own lifespan. This must be taken into account. If it is over, the cutting discs cannot be used. Even if the product looks like new, and there is no suspicion of destruction and damage to the structure of the material. When working with stone or metal, it is recommended to purchase cutting discs immediately before starting work. Better not to buy them in reserve.

Wear during operation directly depends on the properties of the discs themselves and the material being processed.

Varieties of cutting wheels

More than 80% of all operations performed with a grinder relate to cutting. When choosing cut-off wheels, pay attention to the features and functionality associated with the element. For example, some blades are designed for cutting metal, while others are only for cutting stone. Cut-off products are divided into diamond and abrasive. All main characteristics are indicated on the front of the circle:

• Material of manufacture;
• Specialization;
• Diameter;
• Maximum turns;
• Purpose of the disk.

There are also universal cutting wheels on sale, but they are mainly intended for home and domestic use.

The main power tools available on the market are multifunctional products. They owe this, first of all, to special devices and attachments. Each of them has its own specific characteristics, goals and properties. A striking example of a multifunctional tool is an angle grinder (in common people - a Bulgarian).

Consists of a body, motor, motor, attachment and power button. Depending on the disc installed, the sander can be used for both cutting and processing materials such as stone and metal.

Tips for using the grinder

Regardless of the material to be processed, the following points must be considered when using the power tool:

• During work it is recommended to use a respirator;
• Never remove the protective cover (casing);
• Securely fix the disc on the head of the grinder;
• The element should be guided along the cut line. Do not tilt the grinder to one side or the other.
