Questions & Answers
I'm not sure where the ones I bought were made, but if you enlarge the photo of the single wheel, it says they're made in Thailand. I don't have access to look at the ones I bought right now, but I like the very thin size thickness of them. They cut well and produce very little heat; however, because they are so thin, they appear to wear out more quickly.
On a Bosch grinder, I use these disks, but I'm not sure about the x lock.
I took a 1/128 over measurement on the disk. 032 ,

These Makita cutoff wheels have a special quality about them. I've tried a lot of different brands, but none of them have ever given me the same results as these. Steel, aluminum, and plastics are all surprisingly strong for such a thin material. When you let the wheel do the cutting, wear isn't an issue. Some people like to push the wheel into the cut; if you do this, your wheel's life will be cut short. If you let the wheel do the work, it will cut incredibly well and last an absurdly long time. To put it in perspective, one wheel cut 18 feet of 1/8" x 1 1/2" plate steel lengthwise. It was completely the wrong tool for the job, but I was in a pinch in the field and it came in handy. Makita was instrumental in resolving the problem.
world's first off-road vehicle! I'm not kidding when I say that these are incredible. You'll never use another similar-looking product after trying these. a size cutoff Japan was the source of this item. Exceptionally thin cut- off wheel for extremely fast cuts and flexibility, allowing you to deform it to cut flush The 5" models are what I prefer to purchase. br>I've had a few breaks after over-deforming them during flush cutting, but I was aware that I was abusing them, and the breaks were always just the center hub separating from the disk, with no drama, damage, or injury. I've used over a hundred of these and they've never broken down or thrown pieces at me. They've never been dangerous, and I don't use a guard; instead, I use a speed-up device. A Husky brushless 18v 4 or a Makita 12amp 9564CV 5" grinder can be controlled. They came with a 5" grinder. I usually run the Makita at full speed, which is about ten times its normal speed. 5k RPM. br>The speed with which these cut and how well they hold up will astound you. They get you a lot more cuts per battery charge with the cordless.
It's possible that he's a tad underweight. The problem I'm having is that the center ring gives way and the wheel no longer bites. I was able to complete my work, which included cutting out 10" and 16" rocker panels and cutting replacement pieces, but it took 20 wheels. Next time, I'll get something a little thicker.
I don't have much experience with angle grinders or cutting pipe, but I've been experimenting with cutting discs and am happy with how well they cut through the hardened stainless steel exhaust pipe pieces I cobbled together to fit an aftermarket muffler on my car. After my experience, I'd say the best way to get a nice even(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)( The ish) cut is to use a chain tube cutter to groove a decent outline, then use this nice thin blade to cut along that groove - In a fraction of the time it would take a higher-end chain tube cutter to complete the job (at least for me). ) In areas where it is safe to cut (e. g. , NOT under a car in your driveway, lol) I found that using these discs was the most similar to using a Dremel, and they cut much faster. Spreading a little cutting oil on the area to be cut appeared to extend the blade's life as well.
These are fantastic metal-cutting blades! Over the years, I've used thousands of other cutoff wheels and worn out 20 grinders. For one dollar, you can get ten crosscuts and a couple of rips on roof metal sheets. 60 wheel. With a cordless grinder, I was able to cut 1/2" x 6" mild plate into six cuts. br> The thin kerf and high quality produce effortless cuts, and the wheels fail at the hub rather than shattering when they fail due to abuse. br> Never force these to grind; if you do, they will last much longer than most.
The wheel has a solid cut. After reading reviews, I was concerned about how well they would hold up, but they far surpassed my expectations. Your tool skills and the material you're cutting have a lot to do with it. Allow the wheels to do their job and sink into the material; if you try to force the wheel into the material, it will have a shorter life and may be damaged.
With my Makita cordless grinder, I got one of these. I've cut a lot of pipes and nails, and there's no visible wear. At work, I've used a lot of 3" cutoff wheels that didn't cut as well as these and didn't last as long. I was so impressed that I ordered twenty-five more ahead of time because I never want to be without this handy tool again.
I like to use thin disks so that I don't have to compensate for 1/8th of an inch in my measurements; I've used thin ones like this before from another brand, and they worked fine; these are ok, but they twist too much when cutting with them; I've never seen that before.
