[QUOTE="richg99, post: 404026, member: 4376"] The problem that I read about.... cutting aluminum ....with a normal grinding wheel is that the "glue" that holds the abrasive together can become super heated (due to loading up the spaces in the grinding material) and the wheel can, and does, explode. I've read enough to make me very wary. Norton does make an Aluminum cutting wheel. The only source that I've found is a package of 25 for $63.00 plus shipping. Hoping to find another place to buy one or two. I, too, have cut aluminum with a standard grinder wheel. I am just not that comfortable anymore using a regular cutting wheel after reading about one boater who can't use his hand after his wheel exploded. richg99 [/QUOTE]
