Frequently asked questions
How do I choose cut-off wheels?
Match the accessory to the tool, material, required finish and rated speed. Diameter or shape alone is not enough.
Does more teeth or finer grit always mean a better finish?
Not universally. Tooth count, tooth geometry, abrasive type and grit progression must match the material and operation.
Can I use an accessory on any tool it physically fits?
No. Verify arbor or shank, diameter, speed rating, guard requirements and the tool manufacturer's approved accessory types.
What causes accessories to wear quickly?
Excess heat, incorrect speed/feed, loading, excessive pressure and using the wrong abrasive or cutting geometry are common causes.
When should I replace it?
Replace damaged, cracked, glazed, missing-tooth or excessively worn accessories according to manufacturer guidance.
How should accessories be stored?
Keep them dry, protected from impact and organized so edges, abrasive surfaces and shapes are not damaged.
What is the biggest buying mistake?
Buying a large assortment without checking whether its sizes, grits or geometries match the work you actually do.
