Grinding disc

Cutting disc contains different abrasives which allow the disc to actually be able to cut steel but also, different abrasives are designed for specific metals. Take care with this step as if you select a disc designed for another metal, you could completely destroy your job by contaminating it.

Cutting wheel, or cut-off wheel, differs from grinding wheels in their function and structure. Where grinding wheels use an abrasive to grind large pieces of material off a workpiece from a shallow angle, cutting wheels typically make narrow, precise cuts at 90-degree angles.

A grinding disc is any disc designed to fit in an angle grinder and rotates at high speed to perform cutting and polishing operations. The angle grinder disc or wheel spins at anywhere from around 2,800 rpm to 12,000 rpm, depending on the brand and model of the tool and the settings you select. Just by switching different discs in and out of the tool, you can use your angle grinder for a variety of applications. You can cut, grind, polish, carve, and more. Moreover, you can work on a wide range of materials such as metal, stone, mortar, brick, or wood.
