• Custom Grades for Production WET CUTTING

  10"-26" DIA. PRODUCTION CUT-OFF WHEELS PREMIUM FORMULATED & FABRICATED FOR WET CUTTING

  WET CUTTING BOND / SERIES RR5 -
  This versatile rubber-resin bond is designed for use in wet cutting applications where smooth cuts without burn or burr are required. Generally recommended for cutting non-ferrous and composite materials. A durable bond, ideally suited for production wet cutting of alloys and stainless steels... the tough materials.
  
  WET CUTTING:
  Rubber-resin bonded wheels are normally used on cut-off machines equipped with coolant tanks and circulating pumps that deliver coolant to the wheel and workpiece to dissipate heat. This wet cutting process is used on sensitive materials like titanium, ceramics and many of the exotic alloys. Wheel grade selection is extremely important, as expensive materials can be damaged by heat-checking and breakage. Wet cutting with rubber-resin wheels can provide high quality cuts and good wheel life. Our recommendations can help you select a grade that will minimize burn and burr, and help to reduce finishing costs. These wheels generally run in the 7500 to 9500 surface feet per minute speed range, however slower speeds may produce better quality cuts without a significant reduction in cutting rates.
  
  

• Custom Grades for Production DRY CUTTING

  10"-30" DIA. PRODUCTION CUT-OFF WHEELS PREMIUM FORMULATED & FABRICATED FOR DRY CUTTING

  DRY CUTTING BOND / SERIES B33
  One of our most productive bond types that has been designed to maximize the power from a cut-off saw. A special combination of thermosetting resins, blended with premium grains and fillers produces a tough bond that stands up under heat and pressure in most applications. In the size range of 14" to 26", reinforcement patterns allow for pebbled, rough sides to reduce side friction and provide faster, cooler cutting.
  
  DRY CUTTING:
  Most dry cutting is performed with cold-pressed, resin-bonded wheels. Although the initial cost of a premium wheel may be slightly higher, it’s added durability and extra-fast cutting action can save enough in labor to make it more cost effective than a standard wheel. Whether cutting cross-sections or tube, it should also be noted that a fast rate of cut is the key to efficient operation. In dry cutting, wheel speeds are higher than those used in wet cutting. A speed of 12000 to 16000 surface feet per minute is suggested.

• Custom Grades for Production FOUNDRY CUTTING

  PREMIUM FORMULATED & FABRICATED HEAVY-DUTY CUT-OFF WHEELS FOR FOUNDRY APPLICATIONS

  FOUNDRY CUTTING WITH FIXED-HEAD, PUSH-THRU, CHOP-STROKE OR SWING-FRAME CUT-OFF MACHINES:
  In foundry casting operations, abrasive cut-off wheels are used to trim gates and risers from the castings. These aggressive operations will involve swing frame, floor, and table machines, utilizing wheels specifically designed to match the machine type and horsepower, as well as the characteristics and cross-section size of the material being cut. All foundry applications require wheels reinforced with high-strength fiberglass fabric, to provide the ability to withstand the typical twisting and side-pressure forces encountered.

• Why Use Magnum for your Application-Specific, Custom Formulated Cutting or Grinding Wheels?
  When cutting expensive materials, an ordinary wheel may not provide the cool, smooth burr-free and burn-free cuts that are required. An incorrectly designed wheel can quickly turn expensive castings, forgings, extrusions, spinnings, formings, composites, etc. into scrap. Reinforcement is typically used on wheels rated at speeds above 9500 surface feet per minute. High-strength fiberglass reinforcement is generally recommended.
  
  Special applications may require zone, or non-reinforced wheels, due to the machine horsepower or the material being cut. A correctly designed wheel provides reduced costs, faster cutting, more cuts per wheel, and a better finished cut.
  
  Magnum has over 25 years of experience formulating high performance resin bonded and rubber-resin bonded abrasive products, providing superior cuts on titanium, specialty steels and cross-sections.
  
  We have the expertise and resources to make almost any shape or size abrasive wheel that you may require, in diameters from 1 to 34 inches.
