Power tools enable workers and DIY enthusiasts alike the opportunity to complete laborious tasks more easily and swiftly, one such tool is cut off saws. LSG Machine Tools, the expert in sheet metal and engineering machinery, ensures that you have the right cut off saw for the job at hand.
Cutting Through Hard Materials
Used to cut hard materials such as metal, concrete and ceramics, cut off saws, or abrasive saws, have a thin abrasive disc, similar to a grinding wheel that performs the cutting action. Unlike circular saws, the lack of teeth on the disc allows the wheel to apply a constant cutting motion without the risk of getting stuck making them the perfect tools for cutting through tough metals such as rebar and steel pipes.
Tips to Follow When Using Cut Off Saws
Working with power tools comes with certain risks and to ensure your safety whilst using one of our cut off saws, LSG Machine Tools has compiled a list of tips to follow:
- As safety is always paramount when operating power tools, we suggest that you use a complete face shield to protect yourself from serious injury.
- Secure your working material safely in the vice before you begin cutting.
- Gently push down onto the material and let the cut off saw do the work for you.
- Applying too much pressure will result in dust and damage to the blade. Cutting correctly shows sparks, not dust.
- Abrasive saws have been designed to cut through harder materials. Expect the wheel to break or get damaged if the cut off saws are used for wood, plywood and plastic, to name a few.
- If the rotating blade is not guarded, it could result in serious injury whilst in use or when left idling.
This simple yet powerful cutting tool will produce the desired results as long as it is used correctly and safely.
