Cutting through Carbon Steel Alloy with DeWalt Cut Off Tool?
I have a DeWalt DC410KA cut Off Tool and I need to cut through some 3/4" think carbon steel alloy rods. What type or brand of cut off disc should I use? Is the General Purpose disc going to be up to the task? Thanks.
You said some rods. You didn't say how many. A Cut Off Tool will do it with any of the disc that fits the tool, but you are getting into some tuff work there if you have many at all to cut.
Unless you order the disc from somewhere like Harbor Frieght in packs of ten, the disc will cost you an arm and a leg They wear out really fast and especially on something 3/4" thick.
It would be better for you to find a good small welding/machine shop and have them cut them for you on the Band Saw. They could cut 10 or 15 while you are trying to get one cut with the cut off tool.
I do things the hard way too, but not when I have a choise in the matter.
They will probably make each cut fot a buck and you will spend 2 or 3 bucks per cut fro the disc.
Hope this helps you out.
