@jim -- yeah, that sounds about right. No identifiable brand and from a flea market. That's precisely the sort of stuff that I'm looking for. I ordered the ones in the picture.. I guess I'll have 100 to experiment with. FWIW these will be used for prepping and cleaning up some welds on an aluminum dirtbike frame.

I haven't found any cutoff wheels which perform perfectly with aluminum as the metal tends to melt and gum up the wheel. Will experiment with slower cutting speeds.

@jac -- Yep. I agree. However I'm trying to find off-label stuff so I don't have to pay the premium price for an item that says "dremel" vs an item with no identifiable manufacturer that performs just as well.

Thanks to you both for the insight.
