[VAC] Re: I Found Bolts!
Gerald,
My original cutoff tool was a Sears "Muffler and exhaust" cutoff
machine. It is as you say, using 3" X 3/8" (hole size) wheels and having
a plastic guard. The guard is very nice because it gives you something
to hold onto while doing some delicate cutting, in addition to
protecting you from a broken wheel. Or all the crap that the thing
throws as it's cutting.
I've bought a couple of other air cutoff tools from places like Harbor
Freight for $25.00 or thereabouts. They work fine, believe it or not.
The worst point for many would be the requirement for plenty of air, at
least a 3HP compressor, with a fairly large tank.
