Review on 🪚 LENOX Tools METALMAX 4-Inch Diamond Edge Cut Off Wheel for Precise Metal Cutting (1972920) by Joseph Brendemuehl

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not 1000 cuts, more like 30+, though rebar

We used this disc on a grinder to cut 5/8 inch rebar. The disc wears out after about 30 cuts. It also cuts steel more slowly than fine grinding wheels, which cost $3-4 each. These discs go through the steel reinforcement much faster because they remove much less material. Yes, sanding sheets cut less, probably about 10 rebar, and yes, a diamond blade probably won't break, as thin sanding sheets are much more likely to break on you and get smaller with each cut (confused with concrete cutting discs (some of my colleagues have done this). If safety is your If speed and accessibility are a major concern, probably use sanding sheets like those found everywhere.
