4.5 Inch 115mm Abrasive Cutting Disc 2mm Thickness For Metal Cutting

The cutting disk belongs to the grinding wheel, and is made of abrasive and binder resin for cutting ordinary steel, stainless steel metal and non-metallic materials, which is divided into resin cutting sheet and diamond cutting sheet. Cutting disk, also known as cut-off wheels, are specialized tools used with angle grinders for cutting various materials.

Classification of Cutting disk

Cutting disk according to the material is mainly divided into fiber resin cutting sheet and diamond cutting sheet.

Features of Cutting disk

Material Composition

Aluminum Oxide: Commonly used for cutting metal.

Zirconia: Offers better durability and longevity for tougher materials.

Diamond: Used for cutting hard materials like concrete, stone, or tile.

Diameter

Available in various sizes, typically ranging from 4.5 inches to 14 inches. The diameter affects cutting depth and speed.

Thickness

Generally thinner than grinding discs, allowing for quicker cuts. Thinner discs (1/16" or 1.6 mm) are ideal for metal, while thicker discs (1/8" or 3 mm) are used for more heavy-duty applications.

Grit Size

Varies based on the material being cut. Finer grits are used for smoother finishes, while coarser grits are better for faster material removal.

Applications of Cutting disk

Metal Cutting: Ideal for cutting steel, aluminum, and other metals.

Concrete and Masonry: Diamond cutting discs are perfect for concrete, bricks, and stones.

Plastic and Wood: Some discs are suitable for cutting softer materials like plastic or wood, although specific wood-cutting blades may be preferred.

Safety Considerations

Proper Fit: Ensure the disc fits the angle grinder’s arbor size.

Speed Compliance: Use discs rated for the grinder's RPM to prevent breakage.

Protective Gear: Always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect against debris and sparks.

Inspection: Check discs for cracks or damage before use to ensure safety.

Tips for Use

Stable Work Surface: Secure the material being cut to prevent movement.

Steady Pressure: Apply consistent pressure without forcing the cut to avoid damaging the disc.

Cooling: Allow the disc to cool between cuts to prolong its life and maintain performance.
