WALE high quality abrasive cut-off wheels are available in either silicon carbide or aluminum oxide compounds. Silicon carbide wheels are useful for cutting glass, quartz, ceramics, titanium, tungsten, zirconium, uranium, beryllium and germanium, fiber, plastics (such as phenolics) and fiber-reinforced plastics. In general, hard substances (such as fused quartz, hard metals and alloys) are most economically cut with “hard” wheels, however, “soft” wheels will give the highest quality cut in the shortest time.
Wheel life is relatively longer in respect to wheel hardness i.e.; “hard” wheels equal longer life. In the case of very hard materials it may be that a “soft” wheel will be the only wheel capable of making the cut.
Cut-off machines with low horsepower (3/4 HP or 1 HP) tend to require softer wheels for a given job than the same machines with a 3 or 5 HP motor.
