Features of metal cutting discs
Metal cutting discs are abrasive tools designed to make precise and efficient cuts in various types of metals. Composed of abrasive grains bonded to a durable backing, these discs remove material through friction, delivering clean and fast cuts. At Abrasteel, we offer a wide range of discs designed for different applications, ensuring optimal performance in every job, whether using angle grinders, grinders, or electric cutting tools.
Our metal cutting discs are manufactured using high-quality materials such as aluminum oxide, zirconia, and silicon carbide, ensuring excellent durability and efficient cutting even under the most demanding conditions.
Types of Abrasteel metal cutting discs
- Aluminum oxide discs (BASIC): Ideal for fast cutting of steel alloys and stainless steel. Our BASIC cutting disc is the most commonly used option by professionals to achieve efficient and fast cutting with precise material removal.
- Zirconia discs (XTREM): Perfect for cutting harder materials such as stainless steel and iron alloys. Abrasteel’s XTREM cutting disc delivers fast and consistent cutting, ensuring superior performance in intensive applications.
- Silicon carbide discs (ALU): Mainly used for cutting softer materials such as aluminum and other light alloys. The ALU cutting disc is specifically designed to work with soft metals, ensuring extended service life and reducing the risk of loading.
In addition to choosing the right type of abrasive material, it is essential to select the correct disc thickness for the task. Thinner discs, such as 0.8 mm, allow for faster and more precise cuts, while thicker discs, such as 3.2 mm, are ideal for heavy-duty work where greater strength is required.
