Nahhh, booze is for drinking or sipping. Well, I use a little whiskey on my steak while it's cooking but the rest is for drinking. With a splash of water, of course.
I've said it so many times but you make the best videos on RUclips. Project farm and AvE and two of my absolute favorite channels on RUclips. I love learning and I love your attitude and persona. I've learned so much from your videos and appreciate all the effort and time you put into them, I havent seen anyone else who goes to such lengths to evaluate and compare things. I will always be a fan and wish you the best, good day.
I second this. Just got done torquing my half shafts on my C3 corvette and used a cheap harbor freight one and felt like it wasn't accurate at 70lbs but I dont have another to compare it to. Thanks for bringing this up.
My comment is not related to this video.. My query is- Can there be a video on an normal and on a see through engine, Where you run an engine on regular gasoline but supplied with, 1. Pure oxygen gas via air intake. VS 2. Pure Hydrogen gas via air intake. VS 3. Nitrox Oxide gas via air intake. Keeping the pressure same. Also, finding optimum output point for each gases. Would love to see that. Hrishikesh INDIA . BTW love your videos.
Can we get an updated version of this video please. Been using tons of cutoff discs and would love more brands. avanti, etc. also maybe a thinner steel. like steel studs for construction. thanks for awesome work
Great video! I use cutting wheels, aka "death wheels" on 100% of my fabrication projects solely because I'm too cheap to buy a portable band saw and the torch is too messy. I have used the Diablo wheels with great success but I prefer the threaded screw on type disc. They are far less likely to come apart and send shrapnel whizzing past your head at the speed of sound. I "acquired" some German made PFERD wheels from work and the quality is outstanding.
Is there a thread on cut off wheel for the 41/2 in grinder, I've been using the blank arbor wheel with the thread on washer thing, id love a thread on cut wheel like the grinder stone and flapper wheels.
Just a heads up, those diamond wheels that have slots cut into them can grab on thinner sheet metal with enough force to break someones wrist. Just ask my co worker!
I'd have to imagine that 'technique' is a primary factor in preventing a slotted disc from grabbing thin metal. If he was cutting by pushing the disc *straight on* into the edge of the sheet metal, then theoretically it might be possible to push one of the disc slots into the sheet. The better technique would be to cut by running the disc *on top* of the sheet metal, only allowing the least amount of depth of the blade necessary to cut the sheet - i.e. only allowing the disc to cut 3/16" or 1/4" deep when cutting *on top* of 1/8" sheet metal for example.
I only use diamond blades now and yeah you gotta be careful,, but I've seen more harm done by the traditional abrasives so I'll stick to them even though my cuts are a little slower
Would love to see this test done again with 3M Cubitron, Norton BluFire, SAIT, Metabo, and maybe Walter? I think it would be a great companion to this video.
I’m always amazed how you come up with all the different testing parameters. I know pure scientific testing is very difficult but you always come as close as possible outside a lab.
@@ProjectFarm BTW, I wondered if the diamond wheels can be used with more force than the 'normal' cutoff wheels use/need? Could be that it will stand higher cutting force... just thinking.
Harbor freight has multiple product lines, like Bauer and Hercules in addition to the usual Warrior. It would be cool to do a comparison test between consumable items like drill bits/blades/cut off wheels between the brands to see if they really are better or not.
@@ProjectFarm That would be great, because I have a set of the Hercules wheels and the warriors and I'm curious to see the results compared in a test like this.
GREAT cost analysis in the conclusion, would be useful to get $ to $ in the other products? Thanks for fine video- Need to get a Project Farm T-shirt, uniform blue/gray is OK but misses opportunity for additional marketing and cool logo?
@@ProjectFarm would love a Project Farm t-shirt and hat. I definitely know what I would be getting for my brother in law and nephew next year for Christmas. They loved the Send It! Larry t-shirts I bought them lol
makita does make consistently good power tools, but its accessories arnt consistent, usually cheap Chinese quality, dont buy their drill bits or such, bosch saw blades, or B&D dewalt do consistently make decent accessories though
It’s September 2023 and I still go back to these videos because of the level of testing done. It’s the best around PERIOD.!!!! I don’t need every aspect of every product tested but when I want the BEST, I always come back to these videos because no one else does a better REAL LIFE TEST. Love this channel!!!❤
Wow Diablo just consistently performs. They definitely source their products from good firms. I know Freud makes the saw blades, but not sure who makes the cutoff wheels. Just says manufactured in Spain. Just to note, Diablo also has a diamond wheel they claim lasts up to 100X as long. Probably still cuts slow though. Amazing test and video as always.
Thank you very much! I've very impressed with the Diablo brand. They seem to do a terrific job ensuring that all of their products are worthy of the Diablo brand.
How much did each cut cost? Multiplying the price of each wheel times the percentage of the wheel used gives: DeWalt = 1.49 X 10% = 15 cents Makita = 1.99 X 12.5% = 25 cents Harbor Freight= .78 X 41% = 32 cents Diablo = 2.97 X 15% = 45 cents Milwaukee = 2.70 X 31% = 84 cents Helpful? I don't know, but another way of looking at it. Love these scientific comparisons though!
Definitely helpful. Numbers don't lie. By also factoring in time / labor cost, it looks like this: Makita $0.36 @ $10/hr _ $0.46 @ $20/hr DeWalt $0.41 @ $10/hr _ $0.67 @ $20/hr Warrior $0.47 @ $10/hr _ $0.62 @ $20/hr Diablo $0.55 @ $10/hr _ $0.64 @ $20/hr Lenox $0.89 @ $10/hr _ $1.79 @ $20/hr (Based only on time cost) Milwaukee $0.97 @ $10/hr _ $1.11 @ $20/hr 3600sec. = 1hr. Cut time in sec./ 3600 = cut time in hrs. Cut time in hrs. X $/hr. = time cost time cost + cost of percentage of wheel used = Above figures Of course these are all only based off of the first cut. The smaller the wheel gets, the slower it will cut. i.e. The Makita may end up cutting slower then the DeWalt after a certain number of cuts with both wheels.
I was so impressed with the Makita wheel that came on my free-with-blower-kit grinder that I bought a 25 pack on Amazon for $ 30- but they're .032", which actually measures out as .043"! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0199RA4UU That's $ 1.20 each. I'm actually still on my first wheel, but it's not my first choice for cutting because this method stinks up the place something fierce!
Note that Harbor Freight always has $5.99 coupon for 10 pack $0.60 x 41% = 24.6 cents. I might have to give Makita a try. I have always purchased Harbor Freight's cutoff's because all other discs costs dollars per.
I know this comment is a year late but I just had a HF cut off wheel explode and cause me a trip to the ER and some stitches. NEVER AGAIN! So glad my kids weren't in the shop at that moment! Thanks PF, you put out great content, only wish I'd seen this earlier!
Anecdotally they do great. I used to do general apartment type maintenance and I used a grinder quite often. My favorite task was gutting through locks. The steel on some locks is hardened to the point that a hack saw can not even scratch it but a grinder with a cut off blade zipped right through them. I had hopes for the Lennox diamond blade . My experience with diamond blades was they were great for non metallic stuff but they were noisy and slow at cutting through metal. It looks like the Lennox metal diamond blade works about as well as regular diamond blades at cutting through metal. that is to say poorly. One thing I used my cutoff saw for was cutting diamond lath. Cutting diamond lath with tin shears is a slow annoying job. grinders with cutoff blades work really well.
@@davefoc what brand and or type of metal cutoff wheel do you recommend for cutting off locks? I have a 4 1/2 brushless cordless angle grinder and need it strictly for cutting locks- any advise or suggestions?
would like to see which plastic gas tank repair works best including the super glue and baking soda trick and congratulations on the 500,000 you would deserve that for sure
@@TheRoadhammer379 And Fud's opinion stinks like one...... Been using Harbor Freight for 15 years+. Still have a 10+ year old electric impact that actually out preformed a Snap On cordless impact. (That made the mechanic a bit red faced....Impact costing about $55 at the time beating a $350 snap on special)..... Stick to trolling Fudpacker.... Seems to be what you are good at.
Dang dude, slowly been watching through your videos because I find them informative and very well made! Huge props, I'm a fan! In addition I appreciate that you report real units and not only freedom units.. ;)
Please make it a trilogy and test flap discs too! Even if you only test 40 grit from each brand, it would be nice to know where the sweet spot is in price/durability.
Makita is the way to go on tools and batteries second is Milwaukee then deWalt. ProjectFarm is an essential RUclips Channel a must have. Thanks for awesome and informative videos.
Can you test batteries in cold weather to see what battery performs the best when cold? I notice some perform better but how much power do you lose. Thanks love the videos
Nice job! And it kind of confirms what I wrote about the grinding wheels. Cheap and fast wears off fast, mid range is a trade off between speed and durability and the top wheel is fast *and* durable, but costly. The diamond wheel seems to be best at cutting thin sheets, but 5 minutes for a piece of steel? That is a point where taking energy costs into account starts to make sense. Tbh, I miss the videos where you try something completely pointless and destructive but fun and informative nonetheless, like feeding dirt to an engine without an air filter or so. What about speeding up an ice cold engine (dry ice cold at -80 °C) with pure ether and see what happens.
I do enjoy the fun videos, but videos like this one are what I like most. This great guy is saving us time, money, and frustration when choosing what brand works best and last longer. I'm so thankful for these videos. I'd like to see a video on metal cutting Hacksaw blades. My dad did a lot of metalwork and preferred Nicholson.
@@ProjectFarm hmm, not sure if you're gonna fool us and not have a video/or a video of nothing or really have a serious video on the april the first ;)
One of the best channel out there! Kudos to you mate and your continual commitment to your viewers👍🏽 You’re the type of guy anyone could have great yarn and share a beer with around a camp fire. Ever come to Australia.. I’ll be the first to offer just that!
I bought the Makita wheels based on your recommendations. I am a scrapper and when cutting non ferrous they last virtually forever. They zip right through light steel. Very happy with them. Have you considered doing a video on 7 inch wheels?
Will be recommending Makita and Diablo to people, for sure! Thank you for the video, always a real treat while filling in on some weekend overnights at work - don't worry, I got all my primary work done already :)
@@ProjectFarm Always one of the most unbiased reviewers. Here's a video idea, you should pick up a whole bunch of oil filter brands and types, test them, cut them open, and perhaps do a filter test by pouring oil through mixed with metal flanks or something to see how good each brand is at filtering. You could also test the oil flow/restriction through filters. Perhaps if certain types work better in cold starts or high temps. There are many videos that cut them open, but none go in depth with testing, like you do in your comparison videos. And with some many videos relating to oil or additives, it would be nice to see a fair filter comparison.
Hello from one fan from tiny Azores! I love your cientific and unbiased reviewing. One idea, comparing orbital sanding discs, mesh ones versus paper ones. I've been making some research but cannot conclude anything useful, and due to be in a tiny island, only paper ones are available. Thank you for your hard work!
@@kenmore01 Again down to quality, the stock cutting wheels i got with my dremel snapped near instantly after touching metal, some cheapo silverline wheel I bought a 30 pack for 4 bucks lasted an entire project with still usable material left and no snapping. I also bough a 6 pack of diamond wheels for 5 bucks but haven't received them yet to test
@@AntaresSQ01 Where did you buy the silverline wheels? That sounds great! I know the stiffness of the cutoff wheels causes the issue. They are strong, but any sideways force makes then break. Pretty sick of it, TBH. I prefer a metal cutoff wheel or many other options. The Dremel cutoff wheels are, in my opinion, cut off!!

Extremely nice to come upon a video that is simply what one is looking for. A straightforward, objective analysis is almost impossible to find these days. Add one more subscriber to your list. Thank you!
Great video- it lured me into watching some of your other vids! Great stuff! Hey did you make the grinder holder or where can I get one? Thanks from Missouri!
The Lennox blade I use on my circular saw, it does really well. Of course I use a bit more than 3lbs of pressure. The other cutting wheels you can feel them shredding as you cut. As always, your videos are awesome! Very informative. Thanks for your time and effort in helping us make more informed decisions on the everyday tasks.
Great video, well done! Could you tell us the expiry dates on the wheels (normally indicated on the centre ring or printed on the wheel itself)? Expiry dates are extremely important. The resin used in all abrasive bonded wheels is an organic resin which deteriorates over time. According to EU, US and AU standards, expiry dates must be indicated on all wheels used for handheld application and should be equal to 3 years from the date of manufacturing. A wheel which has expired should not be used as you do not know how far the resin has deteriorated. It is quite variable, but you can lose up to 30% in durability and performance if a wheel is older than 3 years. Therefore always make sure you have the "freshest" wheel by checking how old it is and do not expect the same results from an older wheel.
I believe cut off wheels are the wheels where most care should be used to select a good wheel. They consume fast and they can be the most likely wheels to fail. So skimping on them is not the best idea. This video was very helpful in determining that Makita makes some excellent wheels. Not only is it a reputable brand and company but the wheel performance and cost per cut is actually quite competitive as well. Thanks!
Thanks for the video, my co worker and I where just having this discussion on which would last the longest, well you just solved the debate! Surprised on the diamond wheel how slow it cut. Where from Michigan so we use alot of wheels from Praxair gas, but make many stops at Home Depot Lowes Menards etc, now we know. Great videos buddy, keep up the good work!
To add to that, I've no idea if you can get them in the US, but the best discs I've used are Flexovit, while not the fastest, they last wonderfully. So perhaps another brand to consider
One of the problems I occasionally have with grinding disks as I put too much pressure on them or not at a perfect angle and I notice some of the cheaper ones fly apart come apart super easy. That might be a nice thing that test the next time you do this. As always thank you so much before I buy products I always check with project farm first!!
Do you hear the A-Team "build scene" music playing in your head when you put something like that together? I always do when I'm screwing around like that. It's a really cool setup you got there, very nice.
@@lewiemcneely9143 True. After more than 20 years in the USAF our motto was, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Or, the one I liked was, "We have done so much with so little for so long, we are now planning on doing the impossible with nothing in no time."
@@Colorado_Native I was in the Army for 2 years, 9 months, 14 days and about 10 1/2 hours, plus or minus about 30 minutes and have driven trucks and operated heavy equipment going on 51 years and a painter said what I adopted a LONG time ago, Which was, 'Trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear without a silky sow.' And if that sounds hillbillyish, that's because it was/is!
Hey projectfarm, another suggestion! I'm always breaking those cheap razor blades. Whether I keep them in the blade holder/knife, or use them by themselves to peel a sticker or something. The corners break, the blade itself gets dull, and I have always wanted to know who makes the best! Thank you :) keep up the videos, been here since before your first seafoam upload😁 best channel hands down!!!!
I'd love to see a oil filter video. Thanks for all your reviews/tests. Before I buy anything i always check to see if you have tested a product in that field.
You should do an engine race. This race would consist of 2 engine inside of a large circle on a flat surface. Which ever engine vibrates it self out of the circle first wins.
I understand this is a lot of work, and you definitely do this type of unbiased testing better than most, but for a wheel that changes in diameter as it's used, I feel like 3 cuts per wheel and an average cut time would have been more telling. I would be willing to bet that some of the faster wearing wheels would slow down substantially on subsequent cuts . (I know this test happened months ago 😭, still working through the back catalogue)
To really make a fair comparison, you need to factor in how many cuts can be made in a given time, including the time spent changing wheels. I love my diamond wheels because they are always full size. To get full use of abrasive wheels on deep cuts, you find yourself putting an old wheel back on to start, a new wheel to get halfway through, and another to finish where the second one couldn't reach once it wore down. So yeah, if you don't need a full wheel to finish a cut, the time spent swapping them out might be comparable to the diamond, and might be less hours of vibration on your hands and use of the tool, but the safety factor of never having a disc explode still beats the abrasive ones hands down
Man has your channel grown so much. I remember the beginnings and you still stay true to your roots. Keep up the great content and don't sell out. Love you man.
I was betting on the Diablo from the start. The 9 inch Diablo wheel is a BEAST for cutting through metal. I had to saw 3/4in treated stainless steel plate stock in half (6 foot cut, out plasma cutter and waterjet was down) it took only 20 minutes.
This was a very helpful video! Thanks! *video idea* I would love to see a comparison of different bits (carbide, diamond, spade, hole saw) drilling through tile. Which type works best and lasts the longest?
Great video! I really wonder how different loads on the grinder would have affected the speed of cut and material loss, especially with the diamond wheel (maybe you'd just have to increase the load with the diamond wheel to make it cut considerably faster - I know, then you'd have to do the same with other wheels, but I don't think their increase in cutting speed with higher load would be linear (at a certain load the speed would have probably even decreased, due to formation of glazing on the standard wheels, but diamond wheel can probably take much more load as it can withstand higher temperatures and diamonds are also cooled by metal, which is a better heat conductor than just the standard wheel by itself, so it's harder for diamonds to become dull). Just my guess, maybe I'm wrong.
When my discs reach minimum working size for the angle grinder I remount them in my electric die grinder and use them down to the nub, I did make a special arbor on the lathe to adapt them but now all I toss is just the metal rim.☺
From My experience, I've used the H.Freight wheel and the Dewalt I switched to H. Freight because the cuts were much quicker and thinner. One thing to keep in mind with them and possibly others that will break down very very quickly if there is any vibration at all. In other words, the material needs to be large and heavy or in a vice otherwise you can watch it shrink on one cut. I did notice vibration on your tool. In any case, many people won't be steady when cutting. I'll keep with the green disk as it was much more aggressive and a 10 pack ain't so bad.$$.
Any chance of a new video where you test stuff not made for a task on how well it does the task? (the brand stuff isn't quite that international...) nails as drill, best way to hammer in a screw, asphalt as oil/fuel, 2x4 as cutter blade on lawn-mower e.t.c. Or even some about how some mechanisms/mechanical stuff works.
we used to substitute steel chains for mower blades on Gravely walk behind mowers we had a the nursery i worked in as a kid...it was a thick chain with links like 2 inches long...it was years before they told me that wasnt a stock item and they came with standard mower blades that broke right away and the chains ripped though brush better than any blade could and it didnt matter if you hit a rock and they did a decent job on grass
Great video, and very informative. Something that would be interesting to see would be the longer-term results of using these wheels -- say 3-4 cuts each. The reason being, the wheels that wore down faster will have less edge 'speed' as they cut through the material due to the reduced circumference. You did touch on the results of this factor... but my point is that if 'cutting fast' is one of the redeeming qualities of a wheel that wears fast, it may not be so true the more it wears down due to the lower edge speed. This is not a criticism, I'm just thinking out loud... I loved the effort to normalize all the tests with identical testing procedures. Nice job.
Awesome video as always! Just picked up an angle grinder so I'm pretty new to this. How do you know when the cut off wheel is no longer good? I see you kept saying it used up x percent of usable material. So how do you know when to stop and get a new one? Same thing with grinding wheels. When is it time to discard and get a fresh one? Thanks!
Master Farm: Yet another well thought out test. I do some metal work (sculpture and fix-it stuff) and go thru lots of thin cut off wheels. Harbor Freight discs are cheap. I'm kinda cheap and had a bunch, so I use em. My 18V Lithium cordless is a Makita, so I had a few Makita discs. I thought they seemed to last longer, but wasn't sure. This proves it. I do have a beef with your tests tho. In the past year or so of watching your vids it seems I won't buy anything without checking Project Farm to see if you tested it! Just kidding. Love your vids and the way you set them up for fairness.
The Lenox wheels are go for cutting things like corrugated sheeting that really eats up normal cutting disc. Sure they cut slower but they also make less sparks and less dust. It’s the only way to go when cutting a lot of sheeting g in my opinion.
Great video as always! Video idea: Diamond cutting wheel showdown: Lenox, Diablo, Rigid, Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee. Not sure if all of the brands mentioned have a Diamond cutting Disc but one I have personally tried and liked it a lot better than the Diablo is the Rigid. I'm currently doing a car restoration and there's a lot of cutting rusty metal and patches. The Rigid brand outlasted the Diablo by a lot. I would like to confirm if it was just my (mis)handling the Diablo as it was the 1st DCW I tried or is it really better. I ordered the Lenox brand recently and will be trying it out as the Rigid, as good as I think it is, has finally reached its EOL. One thing for sure if you decide to go with the idea; it might get a little pricey. Thank you for your videos! KUTGW
Love your videos!! This one hits home for me. In the construction trades we use blades like this a lot! I usually get blades from colony hardware and they have Sait Z-tech .045 thick made in the USA. They are pretty good. I would have liked to see if it does better than diablo.keep up the good work!!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I go through about 100 cutting disks per week at my company, there are so many options on the market. i would like you to test out some of the other brands on the market. companies like PFERD, Pearl, Walter, SAIT, Norton, Benchmark Abrasives, Black Hawk as well as the ones you already tested, maybe even throw in some other cheap amazon ones. Please, do the ultimate cutting disk showdown so i can know for sure that i am using the best thing for the money.

Just a heads up, those diamond wheels that have slots cut into them can grab on thinner sheet metal with enough force to break someones wrist. Just ask my co worker!
Wow! Thanks for the heads up.
ouch I just felt the pain in my wrist from reading that
I'd have to imagine that 'technique' is a primary factor in preventing a slotted disc from grabbing thin metal. If he was cutting by pushing the disc *straight on* into the edge of the sheet metal, then theoretically it might be possible to push one of the disc slots into the sheet. The better technique would be to cut by running the disc *on top* of the sheet metal, only allowing the least amount of depth of the blade necessary to cut the sheet - i.e. only allowing the disc to cut 3/16" or 1/4" deep when cutting *on top* of 1/8" sheet metal for example.
I only use diamond blades now and yeah you gotta be careful,, but I've seen more harm done by the traditional abrasives so I'll stick to them even though my cuts are a little slower
@@jonathangarzon2798 *Lot slower.
Would love to see this test done again with 3M Cubitron, Norton BluFire, SAIT, Metabo, and maybe Walter? I think it would be a great companion to this video.
Thank you for the video idea!
Agreed. I've used Walters for the last 15 years, have been great. Just discovered the Cubitron cut off wheels a couple months ago. Really impressed.
Ditto for Abracs, Klingspor and Rasta
Industrial brand shoot out? @projectfarm
@@ProjectFarm Pferd and flexovit are very common brands here in australia that are often compaired to the 3M discs to look at as well.
3M Silver are the best abrasives I've ever used, though I've heard really good things about Walter.
I’m always amazed how you come up with all the different testing parameters. I know pure scientific testing is very difficult but you always come as close as possible outside a lab.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm BTW, I wondered if the diamond wheels can be used with more force than the 'normal' cutoff wheels use/need? Could be that it will stand higher cutting force... just thinking.
Harbor freight has multiple product lines, like Bauer and Hercules in addition to the usual Warrior. It would be cool to do a comparison test between consumable items like drill bits/blades/cut off wheels between the brands to see if they really are better or not.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm That would be great, because I have a set of the Hercules wheels and the warriors and I'm curious to see the results compared in a test like this.
GREAT cost analysis in the conclusion, would be useful to get $ to $ in the other products? Thanks for fine video- Need to get a Project Farm T-shirt, uniform blue/gray is OK but misses opportunity for additional marketing and cool logo?

Thank you! I'm really impressed with their cutoff wheel. I've used a bunch of them and they are a great product.

Did you catch your wife watching the AA battery video too?
It’s September 2023 and I still go back to these videos because of the level of testing done. It’s the best around PERIOD.!!!! I don’t need every aspect of every product tested but when I want the BEST, I always come back to these videos because no one else does a better REAL LIFE TEST. Love this channel!!!❤
Thanks!
Wow Diablo just consistently performs. They definitely source their products from good firms.
I know Freud makes the saw blades, but not sure who makes the cutoff wheels. Just says manufactured in Spain.
Just to note, Diablo also has a diamond wheel they claim lasts up to 100X as long. Probably still cuts slow though.
Amazing test and video as always.
Thank you very much! I've very impressed with the Diablo brand. They seem to do a terrific job ensuring that all of their products are worthy of the Diablo brand.
I have Diablo Diamond, it's amazing on thin materials like sheet metals, but slows to a crawl on thick plate steel.
There are pro/cons with wheels that wear... smaller they get the slower the cut/chance of failure.
I have both the diablo diamond blade and the lennox and I find them both to be about the same in speed and durability.
@@wobblysauce smaller the wheel faster the cut
How much did each cut cost?
Multiplying the price of each wheel times the percentage of the wheel used gives:
DeWalt = 1.49 X 10% = 15 cents
Makita = 1.99 X 12.5% = 25 cents
Harbor Freight= .78 X 41% = 32 cents
Diablo = 2.97 X 15% = 45 cents
Milwaukee = 2.70 X 31% = 84 cents
Helpful? I don't know, but another way of looking at it.
Love these scientific comparisons though!
Al Legory u
Definitely helpful. Numbers don't lie. By also factoring in time / labor cost, it looks like this:
Makita $0.36 @ $10/hr _ $0.46 @ $20/hr
DeWalt $0.41 @ $10/hr _ $0.67 @ $20/hr
Warrior $0.47 @ $10/hr _ $0.62 @ $20/hr
Diablo $0.55 @ $10/hr _ $0.64 @ $20/hr
Lenox $0.89 @ $10/hr _ $1.79 @ $20/hr
(Based only on time cost)
Milwaukee $0.97 @ $10/hr _ $1.11 @ $20/hr
3600sec. = 1hr.
Cut time in sec./ 3600 = cut time in hrs.
Cut time in hrs. X $/hr. = time cost
time cost + cost of percentage of wheel used = Above figures
Of course these are all only based off of the first cut. The smaller the wheel gets, the slower it will cut.
i.e. The Makita may end up cutting slower then the DeWalt after a certain number of cuts with both wheels.
Al, thanks for doing the math for us! My son was buying the cheapest wheels, this makes the Makita and the DeWalt look much better.
I was so impressed with the Makita wheel that came on my free-with-blower-kit grinder that I bought a 25 pack on Amazon for $ 30- but they're .032", which actually measures out as .043"! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0199RA4UU That's $ 1.20 each. I'm actually still on my first wheel, but it's not my first choice for cutting because this method stinks up the place something fierce!
Note that Harbor Freight always has $5.99 coupon for 10 pack $0.60 x 41% = 24.6 cents. I might have to give Makita a try. I have always purchased Harbor Freight's cutoff's because all other discs costs dollars per.
I know this comment is a year late but I just had a HF cut off wheel explode and cause me a trip to the ER and some stitches.
NEVER AGAIN! So glad my kids weren't in the shop at that moment! Thanks PF, you put out great content, only wish I'd seen this earlier!
Sorry to hear that!
It would be interesting to see how those wheels do cutting really hardened steel, or Stainless that work hardens like crazy.
Thank you for the video idea!
Anecdotally they do great. I used to do general apartment type maintenance and I used a grinder quite often. My favorite task was gutting through locks. The steel on some locks is hardened to the point that a hack saw can not even scratch it but a grinder with a cut off blade zipped right through them. I had hopes for the Lennox diamond blade . My experience with diamond blades was they were great for non metallic stuff but they were noisy and slow at cutting through metal. It looks like the Lennox metal diamond blade works about as well as regular diamond blades at cutting through metal. that is to say poorly.
One thing I used my cutoff saw for was cutting diamond lath. Cutting diamond lath with tin shears is a slow annoying job. grinders with cutoff blades work really well.
@@ProjectFarm In next video can you use bosch cutoff wheel? Because i use this one and don't know is good or no :D
@@mitsyyyy Try the other Makita wheels, Makita 724115-A-10, they are made in Germany, not China like the ones tested here

Try heat gun to semi melt (weld), a scrap of similar PE over the leak. IE, red plastic container scrap over a hole in a red container.

Can you test batteries in cold weather to see what battery performs the best when cold? I notice some perform better but how much power do you lose. Thanks love the videos
Thank you for the video idea!
Lithium AA's in the trail cameras in winter and temperature sensors in the freezer. All of the others lose voltage in the cold and don't perform well.
Nice job!
And it kind of confirms what I wrote about the grinding wheels. Cheap and fast wears off fast, mid range is a trade off between speed and durability and the top wheel is fast *and* durable, but costly.
The diamond wheel seems to be best at cutting thin sheets, but 5 minutes for a piece of steel? That is a point where taking energy costs into account starts to make sense.
Tbh, I miss the videos where you try something completely pointless and destructive but fun and informative nonetheless, like feeding dirt to an engine without an air filter or so. What about speeding up an ice cold engine (dry ice cold at -80 °C) with pure ether and see what happens.

@@ProjectFarm Always one of the most unbiased reviewers. Here's a video idea, you should pick up a whole bunch of oil filter brands and types, test them, cut them open, and perhaps do a filter test by pouring oil through mixed with metal flanks or something to see how good each brand is at filtering. You could also test the oil flow/restriction through filters. Perhaps if certain types work better in cold starts or high temps. There are many videos that cut them open, but none go in depth with testing, like you do in your comparison videos. And with some many videos relating to oil or additives, it would be nice to see a fair filter comparison.
Hello from one fan from tiny Azores! I love your cientific and unbiased reviewing. One idea, comparing orbital sanding discs, mesh ones versus paper ones. I've been making some research but cannot conclude anything useful, and due to be in a tiny island, only paper ones are available.

@@kenmore01 Again down to quality, the stock cutting wheels i got with my dremel snapped near instantly after touching metal, some cheapo silverline wheel I bought a 30 pack for 4 bucks lasted an entire project with still usable material left and no snapping.

@@AntaresSQ01 Where did you buy the silverline wheels? That sounds great!
I know the stiffness of the cutoff wheels causes the issue. They are strong, but any sideways force makes then break.

lubricate it with wd40 while you cut
Man! You broke half a million subs! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
Thank you!
Great video, well done! Could you tell us the expiry dates on the wheels (normally indicated on the centre ring or printed on the wheel itself)?
Expiry dates are extremely important. The resin used in all abrasive bonded wheels is an organic resin which deteriorates over time. According to EU, US and AU standards, expiry dates must be indicated on all wheels used for handheld application and should be equal to 3 years from the date of manufacturing. A wheel which has expired should not be used as you do not know how far the resin has deteriorated. It is quite variable, but you can lose up to 30% in durability and performance if a wheel is older than 3 years. Therefore always make sure you have the "freshest" wheel by checking how old it is and do not expect the same results from an older wheel.
I believe cut off wheels are the wheels where most care should be used to select a good wheel. They consume fast and they can be the most likely wheels to fail. So skimping on them is not the best idea. This video was very helpful in determining that Makita makes some excellent wheels. Not only is it a reputable brand and company but the wheel performance and cost per cut is actually quite competitive as well. Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for the video, my co worker and I where just having this discussion on which would last the longest, well you just solved the debate! Surprised on the diamond wheel how slow it cut. Where from Michigan so we use alot of wheels from Praxair gas, but make many stops at Home Depot Lowes Menards etc, now we know. Great videos buddy, keep up the good work!

I understand this is a lot of work, and you definitely do this type of unbiased testing better than most, but for a wheel that changes in diameter as it's used, I feel like 3 cuts per wheel and an average cut time would have been more telling. I would be willing to bet that some of the faster wearing wheels would slow down substantially on subsequent cuts . (I know this test happened months ago 😭, still working through the back catalogue)
Very true.
Would you consider testing 18650 rechargeable battery's?, say chinese brands vs name brand eg ultrafire vs samsung.
Thank you for the video idea!
Good idea!! I would like to see this myself too I've tested them and id like to see how they hold up under one of his tests!
To really make a fair comparison, you need to factor in how many cuts can be made in a given time, including the time spent changing wheels. I love my diamond wheels because they are always full size. To get full use of abrasive wheels on deep cuts, you find yourself putting an old wheel back on to start, a new wheel to get halfway through, and another to finish where the second one couldn't reach once it wore down. So yeah, if you don't need a full wheel to finish a cut, the time spent swapping them out might be comparable to the diamond, and might be less hours of vibration on your hands and use of the tool, but the safety factor of never having a disc explode still beats the abrasive ones hands down
Once again. Shared with my friends on Facebook.

No thank you @@ProjectFarm, Been using harbor freight and Makita blades. glad to see my money isn't a waste
Great video! I really wonder how different loads on the grinder would have affected the speed of cut and material loss, especially with the diamond wheel (maybe you'd just have to increase the load with the diamond wheel to make it cut considerably faster - I know, then you'd have to do the same with other wheels, but I don't think their increase in cutting speed with higher load would be linear (at a certain load the speed would have probably even decreased, due to formation of glazing on the standard wheels, but diamond wheel can probably take much more load as it can withstand higher temperatures and diamonds are also cooled by metal, which is a better heat conductor than just the standard wheel by itself, so it's harder for diamonds to become dull). Just my guess, maybe I'm wrong.
Great point. Thank you
When my discs reach minimum working size for the angle grinder I remount them in my electric die grinder and use them down to the nub, I did make a special arbor on the lathe to adapt them but now all I toss is just the metal rim.☺

Project Farm WD40 and duct tape, every handyman’s go to’s.
Great test, again! How about bench grinder wheels.
From My experience, I've used the H.Freight wheel and the Dewalt I switched to H. Freight because the cuts were much quicker and thinner. One thing to keep in mind with them and possibly others that will break down very very quickly if there is any vibration at all. In other words, the material needs to be large and heavy or in a vice otherwise you can watch it shrink on one cut. I did notice vibration on your tool. In any case, many people won't be steady when cutting. I'll keep with the green disk as it was much more aggressive and a 10 pack ain't so bad.$$.
But which wall works best... for you know hhhwhat
Thank you!

Enjoyed the side by side comparisons. 🙏🏼. Editing 👍
Thank you!
Great video, and very informative. Something that would be interesting to see would be the longer-term results of using these wheels -- say 3-4 cuts each. The reason being, the wheels that wore down faster will have less edge 'speed' as they cut through the material due to the reduced circumference. You did touch on the results of this factor... but my point is that if 'cutting fast' is one of the redeeming qualities of a wheel that wears fast, it may not be so true the more it wears down due to the lower edge speed. This is not a criticism, I'm just thinking out loud... I loved the effort to normalize all the tests with identical testing procedures. Nice job.
Thank you
Awesome video as always! Just picked up an angle grinder so I'm pretty new to this. How do you know when the cut off wheel is no longer good? I see you kept saying it used up x percent of usable material. So how do you know when to stop and get a new one? Same thing with grinding wheels. When is it time to discard and get a fresh one? Thanks!
Master Farm: Yet another well thought out test. I do some metal work (sculpture and fix-it stuff) and go thru lots of thin cut off wheels. Harbor Freight discs are cheap. I'm kinda cheap and had a bunch, so I use em. My 18V Lithium cordless is a Makita, so I had a few Makita discs. I thought they seemed to last longer, but wasn't sure. This proves it. I do have a beef with your tests tho.
In the past year or so of watching your vids it seems I won't buy anything without checking Project Farm to see if you tested it! Just kidding. Love your vids and the way you set them up for fairness.
Thanks!
The Lenox wheels are go for cutting things like corrugated sheeting that really eats up normal cutting disc.
Sure they cut slower but they also make less sparks and less dust.
It’s the only way to go when cutting a lot of sheeting g in my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback.
Great video as always! Video idea: Diamond cutting wheel showdown: Lenox, Diablo, Rigid, Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee. Not sure if all of the brands mentioned have a Diamond cutting Disc but one I have personally tried and liked it a lot better than the Diablo is the Rigid. I'm currently doing a car restoration and there's a lot of cutting rusty metal and patches. The Rigid brand outlasted the Diablo by a lot. I would like to confirm if it was just my (mis)handling the Diablo as it was the 1st DCW I tried or is it really better. I ordered the Lenox brand recently and will be trying it out as the Rigid, as good as I think it is, has finally reached its EOL. One thing for sure if you decide to go with the idea; it might get a little pricey. Thank you for your videos! KUTGW
Thank you for the video idea!
Love your videos!! This one hits home for me. In the construction trades we use blades like this a lot! I usually get blades from colony hardware and they have Sait Z-tech
.045 thick made in the USA. They are pretty good. I would have liked to see if it does better than diablo.keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the video idea.
Sait are orders of magnitude better and long lasting than Diablo.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I go through about 100 cutting disks per week at my company, there are so many options on the market. i would like you to test out some of the other brands on the market. companies like PFERD, Pearl, Walter, SAIT, Norton, Benchmark Abrasives, Black Hawk as well as the ones you already tested, maybe even throw in some other cheap amazon ones. Please, do the ultimate cutting disk showdown so i can know for sure that i am using the best thing for the money.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Other than the obvious high quality and professional quality videos, the thing that I appreciate is the lack of nonsensical b s
Thanks!
Watched your recent video on stored fuel with stabilizer and resulting damage
I would love to see how Putoline oil - e10 fuel fighter stacks up against Seafoam, Stabil, etc.
Love your hard work. Keep it up.
