1The sustained cut rate claim is determined from averaging the cut/cycle from cycles 7-20 (which is 14 minutes of grinding).

2Results are based on an automated, cutting of a 3 mm thick 304 stainless steel sheet. Cut-off wheel geometry was 125 mm x 1.6 mm x 22 mm mounted on a 1.5 hp angle grinder with an applied force of 9 lbs. Cut speed was defined by time needed to cut 1 meter of stainless steel. The life was defined as the total length of cut when the wheel reached 50% of its initial mass.

3Results are based on an automated beveling of 1018 carbon steel bars. Grinding wheel geometry was 115mm outer diameter mounted on a servo motor with an applied force of 12 lbs. Cut speed was defined by metal removed after 10 minutes of testing. The life was defined as the total metal removed when the wheel reached 50% of its initial mass.

4Results based on an automated, 10-minute grinding test on 304 stainless steel using 36" long belts. The total material removed in grams at 40 cycles.
