Cut-off Wheel Types<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are a wide variety of types of cutting discs on the market. Each one of them has a specific use and is made of one material or another depending on its end use.<\/p>\n

In order to achieve a professional result, it is important to be familiar with the types of cut-off wheels available in order to use them correctly. Among the criteria to be taken into account when choosing the right type of disc are:<\/p>\n

The material on which the cut is to be made determines the type of disc to be used, thus harder materials to be cut will require, in most cases, discs of softer material which are those that release worn abrasive grains more easily and thus avoid their crystallisation.<\/p>\n

Cut-off wheels should also be selected according to the thickness of the material to be cut. It is recommended that the thickness of the surface to be cut should not exceed one tenth of the diameter of the disc in its original condition, i.e. to cut a piece of concrete of 11.5 mm, it is advisable to use a 115 mm cutting disc.<\/p>\n
