Use Tips for Firepower Cut-Off Wheels:

1. When using cut-off wheels, a soft pressure should be used for initial contact with the workpiece – cutting should be done with even constant pressure.
2. For stationary cut-off machinery, it is important to have good stability and steadiness to prevent vibration. Also, the motor should be powerful enough to keep the cutting time as short as possible to prevent burning or discoloring the material
3. Material being cut or ground should always be clamped or securely positioned, especially in cutting-off operations.
4. Proper machine speed is essential for maximum efficiency. Low speed causes “jumping” of the disc., and can cause the circumference to wear unevenly.
5. Flat cut-off wheels can be brushed, if required.
