WEST CHESTER, Pa., September 2006 -- Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, now introduces a new version of its Super Slicer cutting wheel that outperforms its predecessor by more than 50 percent.
By reformulating the blend of abrasives, the Super Slicer cutting wheel now lasts up to 50 percent longer without suffering degradation to the speed of cut. The newly improved Slicer Wheel provides maximum performance when cutting extremely hard and heavy gauge metals, such as stainless or abrasion resistant steels, high-tensile alloys and hastelloy.
The Super Slicer is part of Metabo's Choice Cuts line of job-matched wheels that are designed to provide the optimum combination of abrasives and blade thickness for individual applications, ensuring increased wheel life and improved cutting speed.
Metabo has also reformulated the other components of its Choice Cuts line to provide users with longer-lasting Slicer Wheels. Reformulations of the Original Slicer and Slicer Plus wheels resulted in increased performance of 40 and 33 percent respectively.
Metabo's most popular wheel, the Original Slicer, is the market leading, fastest cutting wheel in its class. The Original Slicer is .040" thick and is ideal for general purpose cutting of ferrous materials such as tubing, piping, rebar, and smaller diameter rods.
The Slicer-Plus is a .045" thick cutting wheel. Its coated grain and proprietary bond system make it capable of performing thicker sectional cuts, and cutting large diameter rods, and stainless steels.
All of the job-matched Slicer Wheels in the Choice Cuts family are available in 4.5" x 7/8" and 6" x 7/8" diameters. The Original Slicer and Slicer Plus are offered in Type 1 and Type 27 versions, while the Super Slicer is available as a Type 1 cutting wheel.
