Fixed base cutoff wheel tool

tools

I need a fixed base machine for a 2" to 3" diamond cutoff wheel. Most typical tools for cutoff wheels are angle grinder type hand held units. I need a fixed base machine, basically a motor with an arbor, ideally with speed control and can be clamped to a table.

Does such a tool exist? If so, what is it called?

It looks like you're in luck. There's a good selection of tools called mini cut-off saws. They take a blade or wheel of the size you're talking about. Tiny saw blades and abrasive cutting wheels are readily available supply items. Diamond wheels ought to be easy enough to find. For example:

MicroLux® Mini Miter / Cut-Off Saw from Micro-Mark

The picture shows it cutting wood, but it also cuts metal (and other stuff) using the appropriate wheels.
