What cutting wheel thickness is best for thin-wall steel tubing in light manufacturing?

For thin-wall steel tube — 1.5–3 mm wall — a 1 mm ultra-thin cutting wheel gives the cleanest cut with minimal burr and heat. For heavier-wall tube (4–6 mm), 1.6 mm balances disc life against cut quality. Avoid discs over 2 mm on thin wall — the extra heat distorts the tube end. Call (905) 430-1777 and we’ll match you to the right spec.
