This paper provides a practical engineering and design overview for anyone considering a new, large-diameter abrasive cutoff machine. This paper addresses the essential question: Is abrasive cutting appropriate versus other options, such as friction saws, carbide-tipped saws and band saws? Key equipment configuration, design and layout options and parameters are identified. Examples of successful project implementations, as well as common errors to avoid are provided. In addition to a successful project road map, basic abrasive cutting science is presented, with a list of technical references and contacts for those who seek a deeper working knowledge of abrasive cutting theory and practice.
