CUTOFF WHEELS Cutoff wheels are inexpensive and do a great job cutting or shaping steel. You can use them to sharpen tool points, cut piano wire to length, make slots, and sharpen worn drills. Other uses include modifying pliers and making your own design stamps. Ive even used them to cut off a padlock. My preference is the one inch diameter size. Be sure to hold the wheel firmly so nothing moves to break the disk, and definitely wear your safety glasses. Those are little flakes of steel coming off the disk. BTW - Cutoff wheels are poor at soft metals like copper, silver and gold. They will work, but the soft metals tend to clog up the cutting edges.
