Cutting and Grinding — The Unsung Heroes of Metalwork

Cutting and Grinding — The Unsung Heroes of Metalwork

Abrasives and cutting discs prepare, shape, and finish metal surfaces — making them essential to any workshop or construction site.

Facts & Info:

  1. Disc Quality Equals Safety – Cheap discs can crack or shatter during use.

  2. Correct RPM Rating – Always match the disc’s speed rating with the tool’s output.

  3. Material Type Matters – Choose discs suited to steel, aluminum, or stainless.

  4. Grinding Discs for Finishing – Ensure smooth weld transitions and precise finishes.

  5. Flap Discs for Polishing – Combine grinding and finishing for time efficiency.

  6. Cutting Depth – Thin discs give faster cuts; thicker ones last longer.

  7. Storage & Handling – Keep discs dry to prevent weakening or corrosion.

  8. Proper PPE – Safety goggles and gloves are essential when using abrasives
