Ultracut ABM Series

Alpha® Ultracut ABM Series is designed for use on most popular pneumatic cut-off tools which are widely used in automotive body shops and many other industrial manufacturing facilities. Unlike regular abrasive cut-off wheels, the Alpha® Ultracut doesn’t change diameter during the cutting operation. It will maintain maximum cutting depth throughout its life. The Ultracut was made with the highest quality diamond grits allowing you to cut multiple layers of different materials while assuring a fast, clean cutting experience. The Alpha® Ultracut has bi-directional rotation so that you can use on reversible cut-off tools, which could be useful to direct sparks and debris away from the operator.

Question : How long does it last compared with a standard abrasive cut off wheel?

Answer : It is subjective depending on the application. However the general indication of the Ultracut ABM Series is that it may last up to 50 to 60 times more than that of a standard abrasive cut off wheel. Conservatively it should last 30 to 40 times more than a standard abrasive cut-off wheel. With this said, you can save downtime from the disc changes, thus adding user-convenience, without wrenches and abrasive cut-off wheel inventory.

Question : Can I use it with water to eliminate dust?

Answer : Yes you can use Ultracut ABM Series with water to reduce dust and also improve the performance and life of the tool.

Question : Can I cut a glass such as window shield?

Answer : If you cut glass for the demolition purposes, you can use Ultracut ABM Series Vacuum Brazed Diamond Blade. For precise glass cutting application, Alpha® recommends the Vetro blade or a cordless saw blade for wet cutting applications on glass.

Question : Can I use the Ultracut ABM Series on an angle grinder?

Answer : No. Angle grinders require 20mm or 7/8” arbor. Ultracut ABM Series comes with a 3/8” (10mm) arbor so that it will not fit. However Alpha® offers Ultracut GPM or APR Series for use on most popular angle grinders.

Question : Can I get double the life with the Ultracut ABM Series since it is a bi-directional blade?

Answer : No. Ultracut ABM Series will perform at its best in either direction for a long time when it is new. However when you flip the blade, you are utilizing the remaining cutting edges of diamond that were not exposed to the application so that you can extend the life but it will not double the life of the blade.

Question : I need to do flush cutting. Can Ultracut ABM Series do that?

Answer : No. However Alpha® offers the Ultracut APR Series for flush cutting applications with an angle grinder.
