CBN cutoff wheel for SS sheet

Toms Wheels · Apr 26, 2018

I have to make a bunch of cuts on SS sheet, 716 and .060". Cuts no longer than 3 inches. I have a fine blade for the Vert band saw, but thinking the SG with a fresh CBN wheel .045" may be easier on the operator (me). Because of the shape I cannot stack the material, which would make a slam dunk for the saw if possible.

I can bolt the work to a block set square on the mag chuck, that the idea.

Your thoughts please.

If you are now cutting it with a bandsaw,I presume the material is in its unhardened state.In other words it is typical tough stainless steel. I think cbn grinding wheels were developed to grind hardened steel not tough steel.They are moslt used to grind hispeed steel end mills and such.Edwin Dirnbeck

Yep, why don't you use abrasive cutoff wheels? Metabo works good on stainless's.

I would try cbn as a last resort.
Old school abrasive cutoff wheel as mentioned above is what I would use.
