Such a tool as a grinder is in high demand among both professionals and practical users for carrying out household maintenance and repair work. The abrasive cutting wheels used in them belong to the category of the so-called disposable cutter, which is replaced as necessary (when grinding to the minimum permissible size) ... To carry out a certain type of operations when processing products from:
- Extra strong steels.
- Soft non-ferrous alloys.
- Concrete, natural, artificial stone or ceramics.
- Wood, chipboard, fiberboard or laminate
An appropriate cutting disc must be selected. This can be done by examining the designation on it (only a professional can understand it) or consult a seller.
Varieties of cutting discs
Sizes of abrasive cutting discs differ in outer diameter (the diameter of the inner ring is standard for all models - 22.2 mm) and thickness. Distinguish discs for metal:
- Household - the outer diameter is 125 or 115 mm.
- Semi-professional - have a diameter of 150 or 180 mm.
- Professional for powerful equipment diameter 230 mm.
The thickness of the circles is 1 to 3 mm. It is selected depending on the strength of the metal being processed (the higher the strength indicators, the thicker the abrasive wheel is chosen).
Discs for wood are equipped with special external teeth, and for work on concrete and tiles they differ in color:
- Blue - concrete, marble.
- Gray - ceramic tiles.
- Orange - brick and plastered surfaces.
