What is Cutting Wheel?

Cutting wheels are core cutting tools in the fields of metal processing, building demolition, etc. Their classification system is mainly based on the base material, abrasive type and cutting object characteristics. Compared with ordinary grinding wheels, cutting wheels generally adopt fiber-reinforced structure, and the thickness is reduced by 30%-50% to achieve higher cutting efficiency while maintaining sufficient bending strength.

 

According to the base material, it can be divided into two major systems: resin cutting blades and diamond cutting blades. Resin cutting blades use glass fiber mesh as the skeleton and are filled with alumina or silicon carbide abrasives. They are suitable for cutting metal materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel. The conventional specifications are 100-400mm in outer diameter and the speed needs to match 8000-14000 rpm equipment. Diamond cutting blades use metal matrix sintered diamond abrasives and are specially used for hard and brittle materials such as concrete and stone. The width of the blade is usually controlled at 2.5-3.5mm to reduce material loss.

In terms of structural innovation, ultra-thin cutting blades (thickness 1.0-1.6mm) are widely used in the field of precision machining, and the cutting accuracy can reach ±0.05mm when combined with laser welding technology. The explosion-proof cutting disc is reinforced with a double-layer fiber mesh, which can maintain structural integrity under the overload condition of the angle grinder. In recent years, composite cutting discs have become popular, such as the mixed abrasive design of nickel-plated diamond and zirconia corundum, which enables a single tool to cut both steel bars and concrete.

 

Special application scenarios give rise to special products: the use of aluminum alloy matrix cutting discs with heat dissipation holes in the automotive repair field can reduce the cutting temperature by 40%; the semiconductor industry uses nano-diamond coated cutting discs, which are combined with deionized water cooling to achieve non-damage wafer cutting. With the tightening of environmental protection policies, the market share of cobalt-free metal binder cutting discs has increased to 35%, while maintaining cutting efficiency while eliminating the risk of heavy metal pollution.

Types Of Cutting Wheels
 

Type 1 Cutting Wheel (Type 41 Cutting Wheel)

A type 1 cut-off wheel, also known as a type 41 cut-off wheel, is completely flat. It is typically considered the most efficient type of wheel for general all-purpose cutting. Because it lacks a depressed center, it provides more cutting surface and minimizes interference with the workpiece.

Type 27 Cutting Wheel (Type 42 Cutting Wheel)

Instead of being completely flat, a type 27 cut-off wheel, also known as a type 42 cut-off wheel, has a depressed center. The depressed center allows for added clearance when the operator is working at a constrained angle, though it gives the wheel limited cutting ability when working around corners, profiles, or extrusions.

Advantages of Cutting Wheel

 
 
01
 

Superior Heat Resistance

CBN wheels maintain their sharpness even at high temperatures. As such, it lowers the chance of the workpiece suffering thermal damage.

 
02
 

Long-Lasting Sharpness

They keep their cutting edge for longer periods. Hence, it ensures consistent performance and reduces downtime for wheel replacement.

 
03
 

Minimal Thermal Damage

The high thermal stability of CBN minimizes the risk of overheating. Therefore, it preserves the integrity of the workpiece.

Cutting Wheel Applications
 

General Fabrication

In general metal fabrication, 0.045-inch wheel diameters are common choices. With thinner materials, an operator may want to choose a 1-millimeter wheel instead for greater precision, less heat generation, and fewer burrs that will require removal before welding.

Pipe Fabrication

In metal pipe fabrication, the choice of cutting wheel often depends on the diameter of the pipe to be cut. For a 3/4-inch or smaller pipe, a 4 1/2-inch diameter will usually be sufficient. For a pipe of up to 2 1/2 inches, a 6-inch cutting wheel is effective, and for a pipe of up to 3 1/2 inches, a 9-inch cutting wheel is often most suitable.

Shipbuilding

When an operator is working on the confined, hard-to-access spaces of a ship, making a cutting wheel last as long as possible is often a priority. For this reason, the operator will often want to choose a harder, potentially longer-lasting wheel like Tiger Ceramic.

Welding Preparation

Preparing for welding typically involves exact metal cutting. With a basic cut-off operation, precision is not critical, but with complex work or repairs that need to preserve the initial aesthetic qualities of the material, precision can save time and money.

Railways

Modern railways use hard-to-cut alloy steels, so a high-performance cutting wheel is necessary for high-speed gas saws. A self-sharpening zirconia alumina grain that retains a high cutting performance throughout the life of the wheel offers excellent performance.

Construction

Building and construction sites feature a wide variety of metal cutting applications. Operators often look for a wheel that can do it all, from cutting off rebar to making long cuts on sheet metal. Many times, an aluminum oxide wheel provides the right mix of versatility, performance, and price.

 

Maintain Steel Cutting Wheel

After use, clean the residue and coolant on the cutting sheet in time to keep the cutting sheet dry.

When storing, avoid direct sunlight and humid environment, keep dry and clean.

Check the cutting pieces regularly and replace them in time when serious wear is found.

 

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the best material for cut-off wheels?

A: Aluminum Oxide is the most commonly used abrasive. ...
Aluminum Oxide/Silicon Carbide blends are durable and are commonly used on steel parts with scale and iron castings.
Aluminum Oxide/Zirconia Alumina blends have a higher cut rate and longer life than aluminum oxide alone.

Q: Will a cut off wheel cut hardened steel?

A: Cut-off wheels are essential tools for precise steel cutting, offering efficiency and safety. Whether you need to cut mild steel or hard metals like stainless steel, choosing the right type, width, and thickness is crucial.

Q: What shouldn't you do with a cutoff wheel?

A: Don't flex a cut-off wheel: During a cut, never try to flex or bend the wheel to make a curved cut. This introduces side loading and can fracture the wheel.

Q: Will a cut off wheel cut rebar?

A: You can use metal cut-off wheels or diamond blades to cut rebar. Metal cut-off wheels are budget-friendly and great for occasional cuts. They're thinner and cut faster, but they wear down quicker. Diamond blades cost more upfront but last much longer.
