The blade strip in these utility knives snaps off in segments to remove worn cutting edges and expose sharp ones. Their sliding lever moves the blade strip into and out of the knife handle to retract and extend the cutting edge. A utility knife is generally six inches long and works well for slicing fruit, tender pieces of meat, or sandwiches. As the “knife of all trades,” it's a handy go-to for the everyday chef. “Snap-off blades have so many advantages: they allow for longer blade exposure; they're convenient, safer, versatile and always ready to use – and you'll have quick access to fresh, always-sharp blades. OLFA® STAINLESS STEEL™ blades are sharper than most other snap-off blades in the world, and rust-proof. This makes them perfectly suitable when things can get a little wet or moist. Utility knives are used to cut and trim a variety of building materials including: drywall, felt paper, wallpaper, rope & twine, plastic sheet material, fiberglass insulation and more. They can be divided into 3 general categories, Retractable Blade, Fixed Blade and Snap-off Blade. Utility knives usually only expose about 3/4-inch of the blade, so you have a limited cutting depth. Snap-offs retract around a couple of inches if you need to make a deeper cut in s
Flexible grinding wheels allow the operator working on the metal more flexibility. With more flexibility, it offers more forgiveness. It provides an opportunity to avoid the common bounce and chatter from the machine on the metal that is naturally going to occur. The two most common disc sizes are 4.5” (115mm) and 9” (230mm). Grinders with larger discs are particularly well suited to heavy-duty applications, whereas those with smaller discs are ideal for finer work. TYPE 27. Type 27 is by far the most common abrasive grinding wheel. Type 27 grinding wheels differ from other wheels in that they have a flat profile with a depressed center. A depressed center allows for clearance when the operator must work at a constrained angle. Grinding discs are suitable for metal and stone applications across a range of machine sizes. The main use of such discs is in the removal of materials. However, they can also be used for the finishing and preparation of stone and metal surfaces. Grinding plates come in different standard number sizes (based on diameter size) to match the size grinder you have. Besides the standard number size, grinding plates also come with a variety of hole sizes for making fine , medium, or coarse (chunky) ground meat. For surface grinding, use the flat part of the wheel, maintaining a 20°-30° angle between the tool and the work surface. Position the blade guard at the back toward your body.
