Why Having the Correct Abrasive Cutoff Wheel is Important

Why having the correct abrasive cutoff wheel is important for various reasons.  The chop saw wheel is one of three important key pieces of the cut equation and each wheel grade will give you different cut finishes so you will want to try many different cutoff wheels until you get the finish that you’re happy with.

For example: a cutoff wheel designed to cut mild steel may or may not cut a particular alloy due to the steel hardness.  If does cut the alloy, the cut finish may not be what you want.  So you will need to switch to a softer wheel to cut you’re alloy.  A second example: if you’re looking to do a metallurgical cut, having a reinforced abrasive cutoff won’t give you that cut (depending on the size of the blade that will change).  Typically metallurgical wheels are non-reinforced. 

Important: Rule of thumb is harder the material the softer the blade and softer the material the harder the blade.

With this being said you will want to get with Kalamazoo Industries to discuss your application and then send in your test pieces so we can do test cuts to find the appropriate saw and cutoff blade for your material. If you have the saw all ready get with your abrasive chop saw wheel supplier to get you some blades appropriate for your material.

This is why having the correct abrasive cutoff wheel is important.
