New abrasive cut-off line increases productivity
115 new cut-off wheels complete Bosch Abrasive introduction With the addition of nearly 115 abrasive cut-off wheels, Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corp., now offers its first complete line of abrasive wheel solutions. All promise efficiency and long-lasting durability. Three separate Bosch cutting solutions, Rapido, Standard and Saw wheels, provide an ideal balance between cut-rate and wheel life at a competitive price. And with the easy-to-read color-coded labeling system, selecting the appropriate wheel will never be cause for concern.
End-users looking for a cut-off abrasive for strut, threaded rod, thin sheet metal, steel cable, thin walled profiles and pipes, stainless and non-ferrous metals, composite, and high-temperature materials need look no further than the Rapido line. Because of their thin design, these new wheels cut extremely fast. With less pressure required and vibration-free operation, users complete tasks with less fatigue.
Within the Standard wheel line, the Type 27 wheels include special designs for metal, pipeline, long-life metal, stainless steel, masonry and concrete wheels that can additionally be applied in light grinding applications.
Various standard Type 1 circular Saw abrasive wheels separately handle applications in metal, stainless steel, masonry and concrete, while Multi-Material wheels give users the ability to switch between metal and masonry without changing wheels.
