Can you use a cutoff wheel with this tool? I need to cut off a bolt that is too long. Will this tool do it?
86046
Yes this tool can be used to cut off a long bolt. Please make sure you buy a cut off wheel that is rated at, or above, the Maximum RPM of the tool.
86047
Yes, no problem if you have a cut off wheel that can spin at 25,000 RPM.Of course you have to be able to get to the bolt you need to cut off.This unit is on the large size of most die grinders, However being electric it will run atspeed much better and longer then an air die grinder unless you have a large air compressorwith unlimited air available. Hope this helps.

Easily! But you will need a good quality wheel! Also, there is no guard so a firm grip and face shield are recommended.

If all you wanted to do is cut a bolt- yes this would do it. I personlly think you wouldn't need something quite as good though, this would have a more speed than you might need given the diameter of the cut off wheel. I would recommend using a small wheel so you can maintian control. If you don't need it for various grinding, porting , poishing needs, you could probably get a way with something much cheaper.

Yes, I do it all the time, I believe I am using a 3/8 arbor with a thin cut off wheel

Sure. It has good control using two hands. But be careful because cutoff wheels can break it they get wedged in the cut or too much pressure is used. The broken pieces are like shrapnel, so be sure to wear good safety goggles and take your time. I agree with using a small diameter wheel.

You have to make sure you either have a cut off disk rated for very high rpm, or you have to set the speed of the grinder low. Otherwise you risk shattering the cutoff disk do to speed, and that would lead to injury.

Yes, but its like a MAXI dremel. You need to brace yourself and be aware which way the machine will kick-out if you are too aggressive. FULL FACESHIELD. Paid up medical.

If you get the proper cut off wheel. Needs to have a 1/4 inch shaft. The grinder is great with the variable speed. It also has the power needed to tackle tough jobs. We used in combo with glitter bits to cut mortar.

Yes, this should do the trick. Use the size that's almost, but a tad bit smaller, than the bolt you're attempting to extract.

there is always a way - however due to safety reasons i would recommend buying the kit. u need to have the correct thickness and diameterm and material temper washer and bolt. Additionally the oversize shield provides efficient deflection of the cutting debris. Is the risk of injury realy worth not spending the money? Why take a chance?

The manual suggests that you don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The biggest concern would be whether the wheel will sit flat when you turn it over onto the leather. If you needed too, you could trim it back so that the leather was not in the spindle clamping area.Cheers

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results. BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

I cut the ends at a 45 degree angle and they virtually disappear. I also find that if you are bending this in a arc (such as a wheel well edge) it will work better if you bend it in a shape similar to what you want and then let it sit that way overnight - if you don't give it a chance to rest and try to force it to bend the way you want it, it will eventually lose grip and you will have to replace it (a problem I'm now having)

This puller attaches to the wheel studs, it is held in place with the lug nuts and can be used with the jacking screw as shown or fastened to a slide hammer. As long as the lug nuts match up to the holes I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I really doubt it. The twist of the inside 'threads' of the tool only bite into the bolt head when turned counterclockise. Try carefully filing the bolt head to fit a smaller wrench. Worth the effort if you ever need to remove it again. Or look for a tool with a set screw arrangement or a cam action. A very small pipe wrench might work, too. Best of luck, Michael.

Don't abuse your high speed (low torque) tool with such a large bit. Use a drill for more power. They don't make an adapter to fit such a large shaft. (The Dremel chuck accessory fits perfectly and I recommend it but it doesn't fit larger than 1/8" either.)

I have used this to cut 11 gauge 4 inch square tubing and 1 inch rebar. You just need to go slow and let the wheel do the cutting.

My husband says he's used them for cutting metal of up to 1 inch in thickness with no trouble. Just be aware that the thicker and wider the material, the more wheels you may have to go through to complete your cut. He said he's gone through 1" thick, 3" wide flat stock with one wheel. Hope this helps. :)

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

Definitely. You will need an adaptor that the drill will hold, and accepts 3/8" or 1/4" drive sockets. I have driven lag bolts and used it on automotive and other mechanical applications as well. It packs a surprising punch, but if the load is too big, it does have its limits. I say try it and see what happens. Excellent tool.

Yes but it probaly dosnt have the torque to do it. Also becareful because it will strip wheel studs and can't torque your wheel properly so without a additional torque supplied after(use a ratchet or a 4 way) you will lose your wheel.

if any mini cut out there can do what you ask. this is it. I would say this is more an industrial unit. than a hobby unit. it is a fully adjustable cutting head and table. and solidly built. I threw away the blade that came with it. for a cut-off wheel. I also modified the blade shield. and extended the safety release handle. for my requirements. I have cut #8 hardened bolts 7/16th thick. the cut-off wheel was slower than the motor to cut through. this should service you well. hope this helps.

Jen I am not familiar with that style. This tool is specific to the axle size and track offsets used by BSA for Kub Kars. The axle size is by far the most critical issue. If the axles are not compatible you are either going to over-drill or under-drill both of which will not be desireable outcomes.

Dear Nann, I am not a mechanic. So my requirements are not stringent. I used a small Porter Cable pancake compressor, to remove stubborn bolts off a car and mower. The air impact does get them off. I had been attempting for days to removes these bolts. I tried PB blaster, with no avail and this unit saved me hours of work. I would not use for torquing down. I use a torque wrench, to make sure each bolt is torqued to its specification. Hope this helped. I would recommend you contact Ingersoll Rand and ask what minimal pressure is required for these units. Especially the Air rachet. Dear Nann, I am not a mechanic.
