Cut-off Wheels

About

Benchmark Abrasives Type 1 Cut-Off Wheels Type 1 cut-off wheels are flat, bonded abrasive cutting wheels designed for thin, precise cuts in metal. Each bonded abrasive Type 1 cut-off wheel uses abrasive grains fused with durable binder materials and thermo-setting phenolic resins. This construction delivers strength, longevity, and consistent cutting performance across a wide range of metals and shop environments. Why Choose Type 1 Cut-Off Wheels ? Efficiency – Fast, smooth cutting with minimal effort Clean Results – Reduced burrs and a thinner kerf for less material waste Durability – Long-lasting bonded construction Compatibility – Works with most angle grinders and cut-off tools Precision – Reliable accuracy for tight-tolerance metal cutting Best Applications for Type 1 Cut-Off Wheels Benchmark Abrasives cut-off wheels are used in fabrication, such as steel pipe, sheet, bar, and profile cutting. They are used in construction for rebar, studs, and structural metals. In automotive, use type 1 cut-off wheels for exhausts, bolts, and body panels. For maintenance, repair, and manufacturing, cut-off wheels are ideal for precision machining and metalworking. Type 1 Cut-Off Wheels Offer Efficiency and Top Results Precision Cutting – Straight, clean cuts with minimal waste High Durability – Consistent, long-life performance Versatility – For steel, stainless, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals High-Speed Performance – Optimized for fast, productive cutting Tested for Safety – Built to withstand demanding shop conditions Choosing the Right Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel for Your Job When choosing a Type 1 cut-off wheel, consider the following factors: Abrasive Material: Choose a wheel with the appropriate abrasive grains (e.g., aluminum oxide for ferrous metals, silicon carbide for non-ferrous metals). Benchmark Abrasives offers three formulas: our signature Ba line, our 4X line with ceramic grains, and our Aluminum Cutting Formula for use on nonferrous materials. Diameter and Thickne
