Lenox® METALMAX™ is a new alternative to abrasive cut-off wheels. Its breakthrough diamond technology delivers extreme durability to help you maximize work efficiencies and reduce costs in your metal cutting jobs. Lenox® METALMAX™ delivers 1000 or more cuts with no need for wheel changes. That is 30 times longer life than thin bonded cut-off wheels. Average performance for 4-1/2 in wheel in 1 in carbon steel square tube vs. Thin bonded abrasive cut-off wheels. Because Lenox® METALMAX™ is made with diamonds, it doesn't get smaller. The cutting depth stays the same throughout its life, meaning better control, reach and precision. Lenox® METALMAX™ is made with a solid steel body that is stronger to greatly reduce the risk of breakage. With Lenox® METALMAX™ there is less odor and dust residue as the wheel does not wear down like bonded abrasives. Visible sparks originate only from the material being cut. Lenox® METALMAX™ is recommended for multiple types of metal including steel, sheet metal, stainless steel, rebar, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Lenox® METALMAX™ is designed for use in the same power tools as bonded abrasive wheels, at the same RPMs and feed forces. No changes in operating settings are required. Use Lenox® METALMAX™ as you would a bonded abrasive wheel.
