The abrasive particles from cut off wheels would indeed be similar to those from grinding wheels. However, unless you're doing continuous production work, I doubt you would ever discern wear of moving parts from those particles. Vacuum, brush, or blow off the particles occassionally and you should be fine. Also note that the particulate is harmful to breath and use appropriate PPE.?

Hi, quick question here: I wonder about the use of Dremel cut off wheels on the lathe; is that advisable? Reason for asking is that I wonder about the particles these cut off wheels leave during the use. Might these particles be similar to the particles grinding wheels leave during use, ruining a lathe's bed??
Thanks in advance for your help,
Herman?
