Re: [AFMUG] Grinding wheel for cordless drill

[Adam Moffett]

cutoff wheels are thinner....not sure what the disk itself is made of, 
but they'll be coated in silicon carbide or similar industrial 
abrasive.   A grinding wheel is probably a stone.  You could do a lot of 
damage with either one.

Maybe cutoff wheel is a better word.  We used an air whiz wheel for 
padlocks but that requires a tank of air...augh.

    You wouldn't want the dremel sized ones for a padlock
    anyway....they'd get too hot and shatter before you finished.

    ....Maybe the 4" ones for an angle grinder.  You can put angle
    grinder disks into a drill if you put a bolt through the hole in
    the middle and tighten a nut on it.  Then you chuck the drill onto
    the bolt.  I've done that to use the brush or sander disks in a
    drill.   You might be right about the RPM's with a cutoff wheel.

    I don't think a drill has the RPM to make the wheel effective.

        Here and there we need to cut bolts and padlocks when people
        forget their combos.  What would I look for to get a small
        wheel that fits in your average drill chuck?  I want to avoid
        a dremel for cost and another battery reasons
