Product Information

The thin design of cutting discs gives users a degree of cutting accuracy that is highly valuable in metal fabrication. Their thin profile makes them far more precise and clean cutting than equivalent grinding wheels, or other types of abrasive discs. Woodcutting discs typically feature a toothed, circular blade. You will notice the tips are often tungsten carbide. The reason manufacturers use carbide tips for wood cutting discs is because carbide is incredibly hard. In fact, if you need to sharpen carbide tips, you will require diamond to get the job done. You should ensure that you are fully informed on the safe operation of abrasive cutting and grinding wheels. More on training in the use of cutting and grinding wheels........

Worried about a flap disc overheating? You can try a ceramic sanding disc as an alternative. 5. Wire Wheels First things first—let’s go over the basics. An angle grinder disc is any disc designed to fit in an angle grinder and rotates at high speed to perform cutting and polishing operations. The angle grinder disc or wheel spins at anywhere from around 2,800 rpm to 12,000 rpm, depending on the brand and model of the tool and the settings you select. Although a concrete grinding wheel can offer great longevity, these tough discs eventually wear down. An old disc becomes increasingly likely to chip during use. 9.

Its name describes how the tool looks; the head of the tool is at a 90-degree angle from the shaft of the tool. An angle grinder is a handheld power tool that has a rotating disc approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Its main use is for grinding and polishing. Instead of wire bristles, a paint stripper wheel features poly-fiber material. It removes paint with efficiency, but should not scratch or scuff the underlying surface. You also can use it to remove epoxy or other residues. 7. Polishing Pads We have compared the die grinder with the angle grinder. We have given you some of the key features of each of these hand tools and also some of their uses. Primarily, you can see that the die grinder is a smaller tool with less overall power and is made to be used on smaller more intricate projects. In contrast, the angle grinder is a somewhat larger tool, with more power and is commonly used on larger grinding and polishing projects. Don’t forget, however, that it can also be used to cut and sand too. Cutting discs are used in smaller cutting power tools, such as angle grinders and die grinders.

As with the die grinder, there are many uses for the angle grinder. As was stated before, its primary function is polishing and grinding, but that can be applied to a variety of materials and projects. It also can cut and sand if you use the appropriate disc. So, depending on the material you are working with and the task you are wanting to complete, your angle grinder will be able to complete the task as long as you attach the correct disc. Along with hard abrasive materials, these wheels are made of sturdy materials through and through like durable fiberglass. Such materials not only preserve the life of the wheel but also help it push through concrete. Besides grinding concrete with these types of discs, you can also use them to grind granite, stone, marble, masonry, and similar materials.
