Now I know it can be done since these are precut for purchase at stores. But for something I’m trying to Ghetto rig, I’d like to be able to make a circular cut on a cut off wheel/disk. The material is what I’m really looking to use and the center cut out might be perfect. ![http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00JBLQAglylhoi/Cut-Off-Wheel-R41A-A-.jpg](http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00JBLQAglylhoi/Cut-Off-Wheel-R41A-A-.jpg) This is what I’m looking to make smaller but still round. ---

> [@tpgsr](#): > > attach to grinder, press against metal or concrete until it is the size you want? That was my plan as well. Just didn’t know how long I’d be doing it for. Haha. As for buying the size I need. It’s the inside diameter the most. I know the inside would be the hardest to cut. ---

> [@donkeyballs69](#): > > I know couple guys that collect old parts so i’ll let you know if I find anything. Thank you. Just having a fun time finding parts on Ebay for this truck. I’m thinking I’m going to have to custom make something to make this truck move again. When it did run, hell it moved pretty good, till it flipped on its side in the air and landed snapping the shaft right behind the rim.
