We Manufacture Premium Cutting Wheels for Every Industrial Application

Calumet has been manufacturing premium cutting wheels for more than 60 years. We know how to make wheels that meet all your needs, no matter how complicated. We also constantly adopt new technologies so you can remain competitive. With Calumet, you get a superior product.

Calumet’s premium cutting wheels are:

• Formulated to optimize wheel performance
• Consistent in superior quality: Each wheel is tested in our in-house laboratory for speed, safety, and life expectancy
• Designed to drive your profitability with on-time delivery and inventory tracking to deliver the best price-performance wheel in the industry

To better match all your applications, Calumet offers two lines of products: Calumet Abrasives manufactures customized wheels and provides custom engineering solutions, while Hummer Abrasives provides general purpose abrasive cutting wheels.

Calumet Abrasives: Specialists in Custom-cutting Wheels

Calumet Abrasives has a long history of product innovation to meet the needs of customers in the US—and anywhere their work takes them.

Calumet Abrasives’ cutting wheels:

• Are fabricated with premium bonds and abrasives—both standard and zirconia—to ensure optimal performance and product longevity
• Are tested in-house up to their failure point, which is well beyond the operating conditions of the job: you get your wheels only when performance has been successfully, and safely, demonstrated

Type 1

Cutting stainless or other tough alloys requires a cutting wheel that can stand up to the tool being used and the type of material being cut. We test all our Type 1 wheels in our in-house laboratory to insure that the wheels perform optimally. We then take the wheel out to the field to test it under actual conditions.

Snagging Wheels

Removing big chunks of metal in the fastest possible time requires the use of snagging wheels. We go through the same systematic process when making snagging wheels as we do with our type 1 wheels, emphasizing safety at every turn. We:

• Analyze all the forces involved
• Test reinforcements and wheels to their point of destruction
• Adjust bonds and abrasives to give rapid stock removal

Throughout the process, we keep in mind a simple goal: To give you the most appropriate solution for your specific needs.

Stainless Steel Cutting

Stainless steel is a “gummy” and sticky material to cut, which requires cutting wheels made of stronger, tougher abrasives. We develop such wheels for specific applications in a variety of industries, matching the material being cut along with the grinder being used on the job. We alter the bond, the abrasive and the reinforcement until we get a wheel that excels for the job. After testing in our lab and in the field, we are ready to train your operators to ensure optimal performance.

Welderaser TM Wheels Answer Specific Needs of Process Piping and Fabrication Industries

If you work in energy-related industries, you face unique fabrication and contamination-control issues when cutting and grinding. Calumet understood early on the specific concerns arising from working in such an environment: That’s why the company developed the Welderaser line of products. Fifty years ago, it enlisted the help of welders working on the ground with chemical plants and oil companies to make sure that the Welderaser wheels were the safest and most durable they could be.

Welderaser wheels are used for specific applications, including cutting pipe both for repair work on existing piping, or to create new piping.

Welderaser wheels are just one more example of Calumet’s ingenuity in solving complex issues.
