The grinding disc is the most important part of your grinding wheel. It is responsible for removing material from your workpiece and transferring it to the wheel.
A grinding disc is a circular piece of abrasive material mounted on a mandrel (a handle) with a central hole for attaching it to a grinder or drill. These discs are available in various shapes, including flat, round and square. They're available in both aluminum oxide and silicon carbide abrasives, which differ in their hardness and durability.
Grinding Disc are used by inserting them into a drill or grinder that spins them rapidly against whatever surface you're working on. The spinning action causes friction that melts away material from both the disc itself and the surface being worked on — usually metal — leaving behind a smooth finish.
Choosing The Right Grinding Discs for Your Project
If you're into metalworking, you probably already know how important it is to get the right grinding disc for your project. You wouldn't use a hammer to drive a nail, or a screwdriver to pry open a can, so why would you use the wrong grinding disc when polishing or cutting?
The main thing to consider when choosing the right grinding disc is what material you're going to be working with. If you're doing any sort of metal-cutting or metal-polishing work, then you'll want to get one of our aluminum oxide discs. They work great for both types of jobs and will cut through whatever you throw at them like butter.
The type of material you're grinding, and the size and shape of the area you're grinding will determine the type of disc you use. For example, if you're roughing out or shaping a large surface area, then you'll need a coarse grit disc that will remove a lot of material quickly. If you're doing fine finish work or cutting tight radii, then you'll need a finer grit disc to keep the edges sharp while keeping them straight and clean.
But if you're working with wood or plastic, we recommend using our silicon carbide discs instead. These discs are designed specifically for those materials and will give you better results than any other type of disc on the market today!
