Questions & Answers
Yes, without a hitch.
I did some research and found that the arbor sizes for both are difficult to find, but according to the Lenox site, the blade has a 3/8" arbor, while the Dremel site says the SawMax has a 7/16 arbor. But it's not quite there.
I'm not sure, and the cuts aren't exactly smooth.

It's dragging the Direct Drive attachment along with it! Despite the fact that it fits my Rotozip, it causes the Direct Drive attachment to come off the tool and fly around the room, even when it is cinched as tightly as possible. I believe it has something to do with aerodynamics because it flies around quickly, hovers like a small helicopter, and then drops to a gentle landing as it slows down. I tried three times to keep it on the tool before giving up out of fear for my life. It appears that it simply does not want to work with a Rotozip, but watching it fail was both fascinating and terrifying. Returning to the cut-out ceramics For me, it's off the beaten path.
This is what I put on my Dewalt cutoff tool. When I spun the disk by hand, I immediately noticed that it was wobbly and bent. I remounted several times, thinking it was a user error, but it remained wobbly. Then I noticed that the arbor hole has a gold ring inside it, making it 1/4" rather than 3/8" (as measured). It would be 3/8" without the ring. The gold ring on this disk sits on top of the arbor, causing the disk to never be level. The gold ring popped out the fourth time I tightened the disk to the arbor. The disk now fits on the arbor correctly, but it is extremely tight. Because the disk continues to wobble, I believe it is bent. The cheap cutting disk that came in the Dewalt box fits perfectly and isn't even slightly wobbly.
This diamond cutter wheel was purchased to cut sheet metal on some bodywork. However, on a failed roller bearing, I had to section the outer race. Even though the reviews said this wheel couldn't cut itself out of a wet paper sack, I decided to give it a try despite the fact that the cutter was already in the cut off tool. I'm not sure if my technique is better, but this wheel glided right through the hardened bearing race. I've always had good luck with Lenox hole saws and utility knife blades. It's no different with this blade.
The cuts are a little wider than a standard cut-off wheel, but they've outlasted them so far. In addition, the amount of dust produced has significantly decreased. So far, there has been no damage to the blade, and it should last for quite some time. br>br>Pros: br>The composition is well-balanced. Doesn't cause the die grinder to shake muchbr>Less cutting dustbr>Long lastingbr>Saves time by not having to change out the wheelbr>br>Cons: br>It has a bit more bite to it, which necessitates more caution when cutting.
This was purchased with the intent of cutting aluminum. It won't cut aluminum and isn't much better than a standard cut-off wheel. It only takes 5 seconds for the diamond (if that's what it is) to clog up. It wouldn't cut a single inch, and it never broke through the 0 barrier. ten pieces of soft aluminum Very let down.
This was purchased to reduce the frequency with which I had to change the cutting wheels on my die grinder. It's a standard Dewalt end grinder with a cord. I don't think it has enough amps to run this wheel effectively. It's a shame, because Metalmax is a good product, and I'm sure it would work well for others, or even more powerful die grinders. It's likely that it'll still be useful for small cuts or notching.
I needed to cut the ends off of a couple of steel 55 gallon drums, and I figured that using my Milwaukee 3" cut off saw would suffice. Nope. It became clogged, stopped cutting, and ran out of battery power. As a backup, I bought a pack of cheap, abrasive blades at the same time. They functioned flawlessly.
I use it with a Milwaukee 12V cutting tool that I have on hand. Cutting conduit from 1/2" to 1" is simple with this wheel. 1" is done very well. This does a great job of expanding the Milwaukee tool's capabilities. It's extremely tough and long-lasting in use. Copper, plastic, and other softer materials perform admirably.
