diamond cut-off wheel source?

[Andy Cooper]

Does anyone have a source for the 2" diamond cut-off wheels that fit the mini cut-off saw from Harbor Freight? Their site doesn't list them any longer.  Thanks!

Just about any tool supply should have them, believe it would be same wheel you see on die grinders. Grainger, MSC, McMaster Carr have mail order.

Thank you, sir!

Hi.I bought mine on the auction site.It came with three little diamond disks.If you really(I mean really) can't find them anywhere I' ll send you one for free.

[Andy Cooper]

El greco, thanks for the generous offer. I'll let you know if I can't find them...but I suspect I'll find them. If not, though, you can send me one for free. Of course, then I'll hafta send you some broadheads or something for free, just for the halibut!

Just curious , why the diamond wheels??

Don't the regular friction wheels do a good enough job?

X2 you cutting carbide?

The first one seemed to dull really fast...just thought I'd try for something with a bit longer life to the cutting edge. I'm cutting wood and carbon shafts.

Look at item #5623 on the 3Rivers web site,Not sure if it will fit your saw.. it's a diamond blade saw for an apple arrow cut off saw so it's a 3" blade?? I just use the $6 ones from them to cut Aluminum and carbon

If you could find a very fine tooth saw blade to fit that saw it should work better than a friction blade for cutting wood and carbon. I use a cut-off blade to cut carbon and aluminium and a regular saw blade for wood.

When I got my Mini Saw it came with the wood fine tooth blade.

Mine too. I was at work when I read the friction blade post, and it went by me. I've been using the fine toothed blade, but it seems to be dulling quickly.

Just went to Harbor Frieght site they still sell the wood blades 3 for $10.00. Wonder where the friction blades went??

I saw those. I'm wondering if a diamond blade would outlast ~10 of the regular blades? Even if it did, I'm not sure I'd be cutting THAT many shafts!

Diamond blades are for cutting "Very" hard material (carbide),, Typically steal and aluminum will fill the blade with material and dull it very fast.

If your friction wheel is dulling early it probably isn't rotating fast enough.

Carbon shafts=diamond blade.
