Rite Price Industrial’s cutting discs and cutting wheels make cutting materials precise and efficient. These abrasive tools are essential in the industrial and trade industries across Australia. Cutting discs and wheels have a fast cutting action and are suitable for angle grinders as well as other cutting tools commonly used in these industries.
Detail the different types of cutting discs available, including those for metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminium), masonry, and other hard materials. Explain their specific abrasive compositions and bonding agents that ensure clean, fast, and safe cuts.
Cutting discs, also called cut-off wheels, come in many iterations for different materials. Aluminium oxide or zirconia alumina discs with resin bonds and fibreglass reinforcement deliver clean, fast cuts with thin profiles, between 0.8–2.5 mm, that minimise burrs. Stainless steel discs use iron-free abrasives for contamination-free, ultra-thin (0.8–1.6 mm) cuts. Aluminium discs use silicon carbide to prevent clogging, with anti-friction coatings ensuring smooth and low-heat cuts.
These high-performance cutting discs are ideal for angle grinders and deliver professional-grade results for tradespeople tackling tough cutting tasks.
What types of metals can cut-off discs be used on?
Cut-off discs can be used on steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
How do I choose the correct size and thickness of a cutting disc for my angle grinder?
To choose the right cutting disc for your angle grinder, consider the material that will be cut, the thickness of the material, and the size of your grinder.
Are there specific safety guidelines for using cut-off wheels in industrial settings?
Yes, the safety guidelines for cut-off wheels in industrial settings include wearing appropriate PPE (eye, face, and hearing protection), selecting the correct wheel for the material and tool, verifying proper mounting, maintaining secure workpiece clamping, and adhering to the tool manufacturer's RPM limits to prevent shattering or injury.
Do your cutting discs leave a clean finish, or is further deburring usually required?
Cutting discs do not leave a clean finish and often leave rough edges after cutting. Further deburring is required for a smooth, clean finish.
