Abrasive Wheels

A common tool on-site, abrasive wheels are designed for cutting and grinding materials such as metal, stone, concrete and hardwood. The wheels are a component of various tools rather than a stand-alone item, as such, you will find them on:
Angle Grinders
Bench Grinders
Petrol Cut Off Saws (or Chop Saws)
Table Saws
The abrasive finish comes from either diamond or CBN grains resulting in a super abarasve finish, or silicon carbide, aluminium oxide, or ceramic grains known as conventional abrasives. Whichever finish is applied, the result is a hardwearing tool that can make precise cuts, polishes and finishes on various hardwearing surfaces. In the market, you will see them advertised as cut off wheels, diamond tipped wheels, cone wheels, cylinder wheels, tapered wheels and straight-sided wheels.
