Abrasive wheel cut off machines are developed for cutting metal samples usually required for quality controlling metallurgical laboratories and manufacturers, though the same can be used for production purpose. Although similar to miter saws in operation abrasive cut-off machines are designed to crosscut ferrous metal. The wheel is made of abrasive materials held together with special resins. Thin, abrasive cutoff wheels are capable of sawing through nearly every material known, at rates faster than those of metal saws, while generating less heat and producing a better and smooth cut surface. Some space-age metals, because of their harnesses, can be cut only with abrasive wheels.
These cut off machines are designed for various vertical angle cutting. It is important to choose the proper cut off wheel for the material and type of cutting you plan to do.
