Combinator

July 12, 2012

Metabo Corp. offers a combined cutting and grinding wheel. The Combinator, designed for performance and safety, eliminates the need to change abrasive wheels during cutting and grinding applications. With the Combinator wheel, one grinder can be used for two applications.

The Combinator is ideal for cutting, deburring and light grinding. At 5/64" thick, it cuts quickly and with three full layers of fiberglass, safety is designed into the wheel for grinding applications.

The Combinator makes quick, clean and straight cuts in stainless steel, steel, alloy steels, hardened steels, pipe, tube and solids. This specially formulated wheel is contaminant-free, making these perfect for stainless steel grinding and cutting applications.

Available in 4-½", 5" and 6" type 27 versions, the Combinator employs an improved abrasive/resin formulation for fast cutting with increased wheel life, as well as strength and rigidity for grinding/metal-removal applications.

  • abrasive

    abrasive

    Substance used for grinding, honing, lapping, superfinishing and polishing. Examples include garnet, emery, corundum, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond in various grit sizes.

  • alloy steels

    alloy steels

    Steel containing specified quantities of alloying elements (other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, sulfur and phosphorus) added to cause changes in the metal’s mechanical and/or physical properties. Principal alloying elements are nickel, chromium, molybdenum and silicon. Some grades of alloy steels contain one or more of these elements: vanadium, boron, lead and copper.

  • grinding

    grinding

    Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.

  • grinding wheel

    grinding wheel

    Wheel formed from abrasive material mixed in a suitable matrix. Takes a variety of shapes but falls into two basic categories: one that cuts on its periphery, as in reciprocating grinding, and one that cuts on its side or face, as in tool and cutter grinding.
