Title: Cutting aluminum,,
Post by JOG on 11/30/24 at 11:05:52

Anyone who has used a cut off disk on aluminum knows how nasty it is. And if clogs up the disk.. Watching a YouTube, Colt Builds It, he smeared a thin layer of grease on the disk. YaKnow, too much and it's getting Nasty, so,, think about it. It sliced through nicely and his shirt didn't look metallic. He had a silver streak on his hand, Mehhh..

That's an interesting way to avoid getting an aluminum cutting disk.

I've never seen one. If they aren't crazy money, I'm game.

You spose they cut faster? Shoot albumium out? Would they do better with a light dose of grease?
Thanks for the links. Gonna check them out.
I'm working on a project with of a lot of cuts in aluminum, of various gauges so I will be able to try different ideas. Ill report back.

It's a pretty big project so I'm getting a 6" grinder. The 4.5" disks aren't in my future.
Do they make 6"?

I can have some 6" Blackhawks sent out to you, just message me your address again so I can forward it.

I appreciate the offer. I think I'd feel kinda weird about accepting. I think I'd rather get my own disks. Information about the options would be appreciated.

Make sure you search the terms "for cutting aluminum" as many are aluminum in structure thus containing aluminum in the search, but will actually be for hard metals.
