  1. What is the difference between a grinding wheel and a cut-off wheel?

  2. Grinding wheels are thicker than a cut-off wheel. It is ideal to have a size 4-1/2″ x 1/8″ of the disc. Grinding discs with abrasive coatings are usually at least 1/4″ thick. The thin cutting discs cannot withstand considerable sideload without breaking, whereas the thicker discs may withstand significant force.

  3. Cut-off Wheels vs. Grinding Wheels The main differences between Cut Off discs vs Grinding discs are: Depending on the type of metal you’re cutting, the ideal choice of cutting wheels will be different. When compared to smaller, more flexible bits of metal, thick sheets of metal require more powerful cutting and grinding wheels. Cut-off wheels are used for cutting on the peripheral surface. Why? • Cut-off wheels are thin by design, and their affecting quality is unsuitable for side cutting. • The fiberglass reinforcing adds strength to the wheel. It may be damaged if you use the side of the wheel. This weakens the wheel and puts it at risk of breaking.
