FAQs

What materials can I cut with these discs?

These discs are specifically designed for cutting stainless steel (inox) and other metals, including mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

What size angle grinder do I need?

You need an angle grinder compatible with 115mm discs and a standard 22.2mm arbor (bore size).

Are these discs suitable for grinding or polishing?

No, these are cutting discs designed for making straight cuts. They are not intended for grinding or polishing applications.

How long will a disc last?

The lifespan of a disc depends on the type of metal being cut, the thickness of the material, the power of the grinder, and the technique used. For optimal results, use steady pressure and avoid forcing the cut.

Can I use these discs on a different sized grinder?

These discs are manufactured with a 22.2mm bore. If your angle grinder uses a different arbor size, you may need an adapter if available and safe, or a disc with the correct bore size for your tool.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear safety glasses or a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the work area is clear and the workpiece is securely clamped. Never use a damaged disc.

Troubleshooting

Disc breaks during use

Ensure the disc is correctly mounted and tightened. Avoid excessive side pressure or twisting the disc during the cut. Check that the grinder's power is appropriate for the material being cut.

Slow cutting speed

Verify that the correct disc type is being used for the material. Ensure the disc is not dull or worn out. Check for any obstructions in the cut path or excessive pressure being applied.

Excessive heat or burning of material

Apply steady, light pressure and allow the disc to do the work. Ensure adequate cooling for the workpiece if necessary. The disc is designed for cutting, not prolonged grinding contact.

Disc wobbles during operation

Check that the disc is properly seated on the spindle and that the flange nuts are securely tightened. Ensure the angle grinder's spindle is not damaged.
