What are Abrasive Wheels Used for
                     What are Abrasive 
Wheels Used for
• The cutoff wheel is a 
specialized, often hand-
held machine for cutting 
hard materials such as 
ceramic tile, metal, 
concrete, and stone. 
• This tool looks a lot like 
an angle grinder, chop 
saw, or even a die 
grinder, and it's really 
good at cutting rigid 
materials, particularly 
when compared to other 
tools.
Uses of Cut-Off 
Wheels
• A hand-held grinder with a cutting wheel is needed 
for several manual cutting tasks. One of the most 
common applications for cutting wheels is metal 
fabrication. Cutting board, sizing metal stock for 
welding, rewelding a cutting weld, and cutting and 
notching steel pipe are only a few applications.
• A die grinder with a cutting wheel is needed for 
smaller projects and more precise cuts. A giant 
disc cutter is needed for thicker or heavier 
materials.
• Larger products, such as heavy metal stock, metal 
studs, and long metal pipes, are cut with a cutoff 
saw.
