Cut-off and roughing wheels are an important part of the welding process as they help to clean the surface of the metal parts before welding and finish them after welding. It is important to use high-quality cut-off and roughing wheels to ensure precise and efficient processing of the metal parts. Our products are specially designed for welders and grinders and offer high performance and durability.
Cut-off wheels and grinding wheels are designed for use with angle grinders or other suitable power tools and offer welders versatile and reliable tools for various metalworking tasks.
Cut-off wheels, also known as cut-off wheels or grinding wheels, are specially designed for cutting metal. These wheels have a reinforced construction with a thin, abrasive edge that can cut through metal parts quickly and precisely. They are available in various diameters and thicknesses to suit different cutting requirements, whether cutting thick mild steel or making precise and intricate cuts in thinner materials.
Grinding wheels, on the other hand, are mainly used for grinding, blending and smoothing metal surfaces. These wheels consist of abrasive grains that are embedded in a bonding agent and provide the necessary abrasiveness to remove material and achieve the desired surface finish. Grinding wheels are available in a variety of grit sizes, allowing welders to select the appropriate coarseness level for their specific grinding applications.
The choice of cut-off and grinding wheels depends on factors such as the type of material being processed, the desired cutting or grinding speed and the task at hand. When cutting thick steel, for example, a cut-off wheel with a greater thickness and reinforced construction may be preferred to ensure stability and durability. Conversely, when grinding surfaces, a grinding wheel with a finer grit can be selected to achieve precise material removal.
It is important to select cut-off and grinding wheels that are compatible with the power tools used and specifically designed for metalworking applications. Using the wrong type or size of wheel can compromise safety and result in inefficient or ineffective cutting or grinding.
Safety precautions must be taken when using cut-off and grinding wheels, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, gloves and face shields. Proper handling and maintenance of the wheels is also important to ensure their longevity and optimum performance. This includes inspecting the lenses for signs of damage or wear before each use and replacing them if necessary.
