LENOX MetalMax 4-1/2-In. Diamond-Edge Cutting Wheel

The LENOX MetalMax Diamond-Edge Cut-Off Wheel, 4-1/2-in. x 7/8 in., is an alternative to bonded abrasive cut-off wheels. Breakthrough diamond technology delivers 1,000 or more cuts and 30x longer life than thin bonded cutoff wheels (average performance in 1-in. carbon steel square tube vs. thin bonded abrasive cutoff wheels) without sacrificing speed or finish. Made of solid steel to greatly reduce the risk of breakage, the combination of a steel body with a diamond edge allows MetalMax to hold its original wheel diameter until the last cut, meaning better control, reach, and cut precision throughout the wheel’s life. The enhanced design substantially reduces dust particles and lessens odor. MetalMax is suitable for metal cutting applications including steel, sheet metal, stainless steel, rebar, cast iron, aluminum (cutting wax or saw lubricant is recommended to avoid chip welding when cutting aluminum), and non-ferrous metals, and works at the same speeds and feeds as thin bonded abrasive wheels.

• 1,000+ cuts - MetalMax™ delivers 1,000 or more cuts with no need for wheel changes
• Recommended for multiple types of metal including steel, sheet metal, stainless steel, rebar, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous metal
• Designed for use in the same power tools as bonded abrasive wheels, at the same RPMs and feed forces; no changes in operating settings are required; use as you would a bonded abrasive wheel
• Long life - advanced diamond technology provides extreme durability in metal cutting applications, leading to increased productivity, reduced downtime, and a lower cost per cut compared to thin bonded cut-off wheel
• Diameter retention - because MetalMax™ is made with diamonds, it doesn't get smaller; cutting depth stays the same throughout its life, meaning better control, reach, and precision
• Less dust residue - there is less odor and dust residue as the wheel does not wear down like bonded abrasives; sparks originate only from the material being cut
