PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS - CUT-OFF Q&A

Please ensure you have followed all manufacturers instructions and follow all guidelines.

WHEEL DOES NOT CUT CAUSE SOLUTION In case of blue cutting: wheel too hard or too thick Use softer or thinner cutting wheels, check peripheral speed Peripheral speed too low Increase rpm up to max. (80m/sec)

EXCESSIVE WHEEL WEAR CAUSE SOLUTION In case of white cutting edge: wheel too soft Use harder wheel Operating speed too low Increase rpm up to max (80m/sec) Decrease of rpm during cutting Use machine with more power, reduce pressure on the machine

CRUMBLED WHEEL EDGE CAUSE SOLUTION Cutting-off wheel used for grinding operations WARNING! ONLY use a grinding wheel for grinding operations Work piece is moving Ensure to clamp the work piece properly Too much side-pressure Add only the radial pressure to the wheel

ARBOR HOLE OR CENTRE BREAK OUT CAUSE

SOLUTION Wheel sticks in the work piece / material Use more radial pressure & swing the wheel forwards and backwards Cutting-off wheel used for grinding operations Use a grinding wheel for grinding operations Too much side pressure Add only the radial pressure to the wheel Different diameter top/bottom flange Use flanges with the same diameter

CUTTING-OFF WHEELS

FOR METAL FABRICATION & WELDING

Right angle cut-off wheel line consists of Type 41 straight and Type 42 depressed centre cut-off wheels from 100mm to 230mm diameters. These wheels come in ultra thin 1.00mm thinckness for quick burn free cutting to 2.5mm for more durable applications. All wheels are reinforced for the demanding nature of cutting-off metals or masonry with right angle grinders.
