Video: Extending life of abrasive cut-off wheels

Interesting video, thanks.
I seldom work with anything thinner than 1/8 plate, which is 10 gauge. I cut it with a torch, small tip, adjust both gas's appropriately. There are times when I will use cutoff wheels and some do last longer than others, usually a small piece of 1/8 or truck exhaust work or new box for heated bodies, that sort of thing, cut-off wheels are invaluable.....The more pressure you exert on blade the faster it will wear down, let the blade do the work.
I also use welding gloves and full face protection...I do use the what the video calls gouge, a lot of times just to give me a accurate line to follow
Always open to learning new things so I will give what was suggested a try
