1. What is a Norton BDX Cutting-Off Wheel?

A cutting-off wheel (also known as a cut-off wheel) is an abrasive tool made from high-quality coarse or medium-grade grains. Its primary function is to cut through various types of metal such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and other alloys. These wheels are typically used with handheld power tools to perform material cutting tasks. Common tools include chop saws, angle grinders, and die grinders.

Norton is a globally recognized brand, especially known for its high-performance abrasives, including grinding wheels and cutting-off wheels. Part of the BDX product line, Norton cutting-off wheels, grinding wheels, and diamond tools offer versatile solutions across a wide range of applications. They are compatible with both handheld and stationary machines, making them ideal for different types of industrial use.

2. Common Applications of Cutting-Off Wheels

Cutting-off wheels are essential tools in various industries due to their wide range of applications, including:

• Metalworking: In mechanical engineering and metal fabrication, cutting is a crucial step in producing components and parts made from materials like steel, aluminum, and copper. Each type of metal may require a specific cutting-off wheel to ensure optimal performance and precision.

• Stone and Tile Processing: In the construction industry, cutting-off wheels are used to cut, shape, and grind stones and tiles. These tools help save time and energy, contributing to faster and more efficient workflows.

• Woodworking: Cutting-off wheels are also applied in cutting and shaping materials such as MDF and plywood, supporting the production of furniture and construction components.

Overall, in fast-growing sectors such as automotive, motorcycles, electrical appliances, and electronics, nearly every product consists of components that must be cut and shaped. The Norton BDX cutting-off wheel plays an indispensable role in manufacturing these parts. Choosing the right wheel for your application ensures faster processing, reduced effort, and greater time savings.

3. Cutting-Off Wheels vs. Grinding Wheels: What's the Difference?

At first glance, cutting-off wheels and grinding wheels may look quite similar in shape and size. However, they serve different purposes and are constructed with distinct features to meet specific application needs. Below are some key differences between the two:

	Cutting-Off Wheel (e.g., Norton BDX cutting-off wheel)	Grinding Wheel
Material	Made primarily from softer abrasive grains that break away easily during use, exposing fresh cutting edges. This allows the wheel to make fast, clean cuts even on hard materials.	Composed of harder abrasive grains with better bonding strength, designed for durability and finer surface finishes.
Function	Used to cut through materials into desired shapes and sizes.	Used to grind, smooth, and finish surfaces of materials. Ideal for the final steps of processing.
Structure	Has a higher grit level for increased friction, enabling more effective cutting. Cutting-off wheels are typically thinner and have a smaller diameter compared to grinding wheels.	Features a lower grit level and is generally thicker than cutting-off wheels, offering more control and durability for surface finishing.
