Tips to maximize cutting effective

When speaking of cutting among abrasive wheel, we refer to the wheels in 0.035” to 1/8 inch thickness and the 2” to 14 inch diameter. But,today I am going to narrow down the range to the Slim cutting with angle grinder, also called grinder disc, which normally need practicing operator to handle.No one wish to see the inferior performance and low effective when in operation since ignorance and inappropriate measures. Here are some faces you need to consider to Maximize Cutting effective:

Before cutting : Choose the right Wheel ：The right cut off wheel should be depend on the material of workpiece being cut: If a resin cutting disc does not match the workpiece, the abnormal wear; overheat and Lack of sharpness will occur causing the damage of wheel and also safety problems. There are some main categories of workpiece material : Metal ; Stainless steel (Inox); Aluminium; Stone. While, Metal should be divided into: A: ferrous metals like Steel, construction steel, unalloyed steel, etc in lower hardness and tempered steel steel with higher hardness.B: other non-ferrous metals.Each wheel should be specialized for each kind of material.You may can see the wheels for it’s application.Besides, we also should notice that where the  workpiece used in, normal referring to construction;home; Fabricate & welding; Industrial & manufacturing,since that will decide what quality level of wheel we should use in case of any waste or shortage.

The right shape of cut off wheel is also help to improve in different cutting situations: There are two shapes most commonly found: T1/T41 cutting wheels has a flat profile and a larger cutting surface, allowing the operator to complete more cuts per wheel. It usually allow for deep cuts in general and enough operation space,while T42/T27 wheels come with a depressed center provides additional clearance with the tool, but it reduces the amount of cuts especially with wheels in 4 1/2 inches or smaller in diameter. T42/T27 cutting wheel are more suit for flush and rip cutting.When there is some type of interference and the wheel needs to be raised up from the base of the grinder.When the operator is cutting thicker material or need cut too deeply into the workpiece, we would better choose T1/T41,such some solid round bar in open space.In general use T41/T1 type would be more used. 

Choose the right wheel thickness: Thinner wheels remove less material during a cut, it will be smoother and faster in cutting, what’s more the surface of the workpiece would be neater, while thicker wheels will generally can last longer and perform better on thicker materials.(larger diameter), but it will causing more heat in the process. If you need quick cut and cutting sheet metal or thinner-gauge material, then choose the thinnest as you can. like 0.03 inch and 0.04 inch.If you need longer cuts, you may need thicker one like 0.045 inch and 0.065 inch.The best one is to make balance on cuts and speed from the wheel Material quality not just from thickness. 

While cutting：Backing and forth motion needed through the cut: If we just rightly use single and straight downward force, that will let our abrasive grain duller, so, It is recommended to use a sliding or rocking motion in the direction of the cut moving the wheel into and through the workpiece rather than straight down. We should let the Abrasive cutting wheel to pull itself through the workpiece,which can minimizes friction and resistance and can helps extend the life of the wheel.

No need to push too hard: If you push too hard that will bring much more pressure and heat. These are the biggest enemies for abrasive grain. It is easily to think that pushing on wheel will make it perform better, but, push will cause heat and wear which damage wheel. Increased friction will shorten wheel life. It is advise to cutting in nature force to let the wheel do as much of cutting possible.

Starting cut from the right angle: The Slim cutting wheel should be used at a 90-degree angle perpendicular to the work surface.An improper angle can cause tight binding.The Thinner the wheel is, the more critical it is need to be.Thicker wheels are more tolerant. Operators should stand a position where he can see the wheel cutting line.Alway start cutting from the spot that with lease resistance.

Above all, no matter what kind of abrasive cut off wheels an operator selects, understanding what the wheel is designed to be used and following some best cutting practices can help protects operator’ safety and product life, as well as maximize cutting effective .

What are “Coatings”

  T he coatings come up with the overall coverage of abrasive grain particles (such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide) which are attached to the backing material of coated abrasive product, or rather, how much space is filled or not filled with abrasive grains. The more open space there is between grains, combined with the constant motion from sanding, can lead to a longer abrasive life. As the  sandpaper sheet  is used in a more open coat allows the residue to fall off, thus making it less likely to get stuck in between the grains. Not to mention, the extra space allows more room for air to flow, thereby cooling down the   sanding disc  during the sanding process. Ultimately, with less heat, there will be less opportunity for the wood resins and finish to soften in the first place.   There are three forms of coating options available: open, semi-open and closed - Each type has a different particle ratio and optimal application. Let's take a look at the ...

The Common Problem In Using Diamond Saw Blades

  Diamond saw blades  are an essential tool in a variety of industries, including construction, stone cutting , and glass cutting. They are known for their durability and long lifespan, making them a popular choice among professionals. However, using diamond saw blades is not without its challenges. Here are some common problems that users may encounter when using diamond saw blades: 1.  Blunt edges  of diamond saw blades : One of the most common problems with diamond saw blades is that their edges can become blunt over time. This happens because the abrasive material wears down, causing the blade to lose its cutting power. If you notice that your saw blade is becoming blunt, it is important to replace it as soon as possible to avoid damaging the blade or the material being cut. 2.  Chipping: Chipping is a common problem when cutting tiles , stone or other brittle materials. This occurs when the blade hits an object or material that is harder than the blade itse...

Best Way To Wet Sand Orange Peel In Car Paint

图片
   As a car owner, it can be frustrating to discover that your paint job is not as smooth as you want it to be. This is particularly true if you notice orange peel on your vehicle’s paint. Orange peel is a term used to describe the bumpy, rough texture of car paint that resembles the surface of an orange peel. If you want to eliminate orange peel on your car’s paint, you can use a wet sanding technique. In this article, we will guide you through the steps on   how to wet sand orange peel in car paint . What is Orange Peel? Before we start with the process of wet sanding, it’s essential to understand what orange peel is and how it occurs. Orange peel is a texture that appears on the surface of the car’s paint when it dries. The bumps are a result of the paint not spreading out evenly on the surface of the vehicle. This usually happens when there is too much paint on the surface or when the paint dries too quickly, resulting in a rough texture. Orange peel is more common in...
