No hassle changing of cutoff wheels?

Any major drawback like rotation speed limited by imbalance?

Thanks.

The biggest problem I've had with them is actually getting them on/off the
spring-loaded mandrel. I've found that it's best to have the mandrel
chucked into the tool first.

I've used them at rotational speeds up to 56K RPM without difficulty.

Have you noticed any vibration maybe caused by the cutoff wheel
being spring-loaded? Mainly curious. Thanks.

By the way. Too bad the entire outside of each cutoff wheel has a
permanent label attached to it. I find the outside of other cutoff
wheels very useful for smoothing edges/corners. This one requires
sanding first. Changing a cutoff wheel is difficult. Besides while
it's in the tool, (if convenient) holding the mandrel shaft against
something like the corner of a table makes changing the cutoff wheel
easier.

Why not simply use a thin cutoff on a standard mandrel? Changing mandrels is
a 10-second activity and can be done without tools.

Otherwise, use the "inside" to do your work! <grin>
