Optimize your metal cutting work with the Makita Premier 5 Cutting Wheel for Metal and Stainless Steel such as rebar, steel pipe, structural & galvanized steel, sheet metal, structural tubing, black steel, cable and small to medium diameter solid pieces. When cutting, consider applying the proper amount of pressure at a 90 degree angle to allow the cutting wheel to do the work. For best results, consider not pushing too hard on the wheel, which can cause the grinder to stall or kick back or give a less efficient cutting action, while also increasing the chances of slippage or loss of control of the tool, resulting in injury or damage. Applying light to moderate pressure and consistent movement will provide the most efficient cut and minimize heat build-up. Consider using light pressure and a consistent motion throughout the cut for the fastest cut-rate and prolonged wheel life. Excessive pressure through the cut causes increased friction and heat build-up, which can cause increased heat discoloration of the work piece and reduced wheel life. For demanding applications, higher amperage &/or torque angle grinders provide easier, long-lasting & efficient cuts
