A 355mm cut-off machine is built for fast, straight cuts through metal stock. It is the right tool for fabrication yards, rebar processing, and structural prep work.

Ideal use cases

  • Cutting rebar bundles to length
  • Trimming angle iron, channel, and square tube
  • Prepping bolts and threaded rod
  • Fabrication work where repeatable lengths matter

If your crew needs consistent, square cuts on metal, a 355mm cut-off machine is faster and more consistent than a handheld grinder.

Blade selection tips

Match the wheel to the material.

  • Use abrasive wheels for general steel work.
  • Use specialty wheels for stainless or hardened stock.
  • Replace wheels early if they glaze or slow down.

Safety and setup checklist

  • Clamp the workpiece securely before cutting.
  • Keep hands outside the guard line and use the handle for all cuts.
  • Let the wheel reach full speed before contacting the material.
  • Do not force the cut. Excess pressure leads to wheel damage.
  • Allow the wheel to stop fully before lifting the guard.

Workflow efficiency

Add a simple stop block for repeat cuts. It speeds up production and improves consistency without extra measuring.
