Cut-off and grinding wheels, also known as "parting wheels," are self-sharpening wheels. These wheels have small widths and may have radial fibers in them to enhance sharpness. Cut-off wheels are widely used in the construction industry to easily remove or trim reinforcement bars (rebars), protruding bolts, and other tools.
Cut-off wheel grinding
Cut-off grinding, one of the most efficient and active machining strategies for cutting plain carbon, high-alloy, special-alloy, and hardened steels, offers a number of benefits over other methods:
Other techniques, such as sawing, can only cut alloys with prohibitively high effort or not at all.
On the other hand, mastering the process is far from easy.
The ability to style as well as the precise ratio of diameter to thickness is both needed in the art of making the perfect cut-off wheels.
Thinner wheels create thinner, cleaner slices, which results in less waste. Making the right cut-off wheels clearly necessitates a significant amount of engineering and manufacturing expertise. For cutting ferrous metals like steel and iron, aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive grain, and any grit variety should suffice. An aluminum oxide cut-off wheel with 60 and 46 grit can be used to cut sheet metal with minimal burring.
Stainless steel cut-off wheels are unlike any other metal wheels because of their properties. For zirconia grain cut-off wheels, stainless steel and high-tensile materials are suitable. Ceramic is the next abrasive grain and one of the most essential elements of contaminate-free stainless steel cutting ceramic cut-off wheel.
