A grinding disc is an abrasive cutting tool used for grinding, smoothing, or shaping metal, stone, and other hard materials. It is commonly attached to angle grinders or other power tools.
Key Features of Grinding Discs:
- Material: Composed of abrasive grains (e.g., aluminum oxide, silicon carbide) bonded together with resin or metal.
- Shape: Flat or slightly concave discs to accommodate different grinding angles.
- Sizes: Available in various diameters (e.g., 4.5″, 7″, etc.) and thicknesses for diverse applications.
- Grit Levels: Offered in coarse, medium, and fine grits for heavy material removal or precision finishing.
- Types:
- Cut-off Discs: Thin and designed for cutting materials.
- Grinding Wheels: Thicker and used for heavy grinding tasks.
- Flap Discs: For smoothing and polishing surfaces.
Applications:
- Metalworking: Removing welds, rust, or burrs.
- Construction: Cutting or grinding concrete, tiles, and stone.
- Automotive: Smoothing body panels or removing paint.
Advantages:
- Fast material removal.
- Long-lasting durability with proper use.
- Versatile for various materials.
