What is the qulaity of the abrasive wheel that's inculded with the saw? Is it serviacable or should a quality wheel be purchased seperately?

The wheel is fine quality. Buy a couple spares as the do go fast in heavy use.

Makita abrasive is one best and priciest but with said it depends on what your cutting one blade is never a good idea all it takes is a bind and any of them snap

The included blade does the job well. This is not a cold saw that gives a mirror smooth cut in a 6 " piece of stainless. For a general purpose cut off saw, it has no peer.

Although I have no experience in this area I would say the hard plastic tire on the wheels would probably be damaged if you cut metal with this saw. I personally woujld not cut metal with my bandsaw.

I believe it has a gear drive. My father has this one and has been very happy with it. Most of these saws are built the same, it is mostly about the quality of the parts and the features. The sliding part is the most important part to me and it works well.

I haven't had a chance to take it apart therefore can not give you a good answer to that. But you should look at a very important factor. The fact that the grinders are so affordable it should not even matter much, unless you are thinking to buy it for 20+ years. I am working in a metal/fabrication shop as a welder for 5+ years now and never had a problem with grinders of good quality like: dewalt, ridgid and others. And i am abusing them on a daily bases quite systematically. If i was to take a guess then i would say that most likely it has the brushes on it, otherwise they would have marketed it as being brush-less I haven't had a chance to take it apart therefore can not give you a good answer to that.

Sorry, for the late answer. I don't can help you. I sold the saw. Because the saw was not what I want. The Tracks are not really good. When you need the saw for business, the saw is not good enough. I buy a different brand, and I'm happy. But off course the new saw was more than the on double price. For hobby is this a good saw for a good price, but not for more.

It comes with a grinding wheel and a metal cutting wheel that works quite well.

Shrader, but avoid this purchase. The wheel does not hold up. See my most recent review.

I have not seen the wheel for sale.The Grinder comes with plastic attachments for loading freezer bag and making link sausage.I removed the handle and put a fan belt and 1/2 horse power motor to mine. works great.A wheel from a used clothes dryer works just as good.

Hello there! This Dremel SM20 comes with one cutting wheel. Along with an Allen wrench, and the instruction manual.

side note: the arbors are compatible i have the milwaukee kit and use individual lenox hole saws with the arbors. both seem to be quality hole saws lenox just seems to have better reputation.

Nope. If you want a swivel wheel you'll want one of the revolutions. But they don't have a handbrake if that's important to you. Or well actually the newer one does, that pro one, not sure if that's out yet.

All my saws are Stihl and while different lengths which is no mind, have the same pitch which is the controlling number. So mine are all 3/8 pitch and that is the size grind wheel i use. Given where the cut of the chain is on the outside and in the cut curl i imagine you could pretty reasonably muddle through a wider pitch chain if you were consistent in your sharpening attack.

this is a professional chain saw sharpener. It works perfectly. I'm not sure which size grinding wheel will do the job for you, but the 3 that come with it and the adjustments that you make will give great results. The owners manual tells you what you will need to do and if you check it out on utube, you will see how easy it will be. Buy it and I promise that you will be thrilled.

I think it is the standard 4" or 4-1/2" cutting wheel. I have boxes of them for my other electric grinders and they fit just fine. If you read PC post it will tell you the size of wheel. You can look it up as well as I can.

John, I can't give you a accurate answer for your area, bit we have a local distributor in Ashland VA who does service everything they sell. On a better note! I have worked the crap out of 2 of these saws and haven't had the first bit of problems with either one. I was sceptical at forst, but truly a good saw!

Amazon lists a 7 inch Dewalt diamond wheel with a 5/8 inch arbor looks same as the 4 1/2 inch
