Cutting & Grinding Wheels
Cutting and grinding wheels are accessories that are used with angle grinders, rotary hammers, and other power tools to cut, grind and finish various materials such as metal, concrete, tile, and stone.
Cutting wheels are typically made of abrasive materials such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide and are used to cut through materials such as metal, tile, and concrete. They come in different thicknesses, diameters, and arbor sizes to fit different power tools and materials.
Grinding wheels are also made of abrasive materials and are used to grind and finish surfaces, remove rust and paint, and sharpen edges. They come in different shapes, such as straight, cup, and dish, to fit different types of grinding applications.
There are also diamond cutting and grinding wheels that are specifically designed to cut and grind hard materials such as stone and tile. They use a diamond abrasive that is harder than other abrasives, which allows them to cut and grind materials that would be too hard for other types of wheels.
It is important to use the correct cutting or grinding wheel for the task, and to make sure that the wheel is well-maintained, with no cracks or chips. It is also important to wear safety glasses, dust mask, and ear protection, and to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using cutting and grinding wheels to avoid injury.
