Hot Max 26182 Mandrel 4 Inch Review

Mandrel is bent/deformed due to manufacturing, wobbles a lot, which in turn leads to imbalance and chattering of the cutting wheel.

works, but the shaft on my product was unbalanced and causing excessive vibration. I used it on a router and it damaged the router bearings.

This is one of those things that you hope you don't need to use often. However, it could stand between you and a good night's sleep!

Complete and complete scrap DO NOT BUY! It broke on the first attempt to cut 080" aluminum and now it won't hold the cutting wheel and I can't get it back. Do yourself a favor and buy something better.

Save Money I couldn't cut a 1/8 inch thick aluminum bracket with it. The aluminum just chewed through the wheel. I even had a groove for the wheel. I used this with my Dewalt hand drill. and it was with only 2 wheels and not 3. very dissatisfied with this product.

I received this package and was disappointed that the mandrel was neither round nor flat (to fit on a cut-off wheel). Aside from not being able to cut the correct line, a 10 degree imbalance can also cause the blade to break dangerously at high speed. I am returning this item.

When I bought this I could tell where the discs were of poor quality but I didn't care because I needed a mandrel. It's not straight, so the slices are slanted. This causes the tool to vibrate and the resulting cutting width is larger than if it were not crooked. Don't buy it, dangerous and poor quality. No quality control.

I bought these to fit a cut-off wheel on my 1/4 inch air grinder. probably better suited to a full size 4.5" angle grinder, but I wanted to see if this mandrel/cutting disc kit would work with my smaller air tool in a pinch. It worked great! No problems with loosening the screw on the mandrel or premature wear of the cut-off wheel throughout the project. I used the kit for about 10-12 hours, sanded off the powder coat, cut 1/8" thick metal and cut away the various layers of metal tubing. All of
