Summary: Cutting

Abrasive cutoff
wheels are thin, circular discs used in power tools to make clean and precise
cuts through various materials, primarily metal, but also stone, tile, and
other materials.
Composition: They are made of abrasive grains (like aluminum oxide or silicon carbide) bonded together with a resin or other bonding agent.
Function: When rotated
at high speed, the abrasive grains grind away the material, creating a narrow
cut.
Tools: They are commonly
used with:
* Angle grinders
* Cutoff saws
* Die grinders
Uses:
* Cutting pipes, bars, and sheets of metal
* Cutting tiles and stone
* Removing rusted bolts or other fasteners
