The Do's and Don'ts for Angle Grinding Discs

Angle grinders may be used both for removing excess material from a piece or simply cutting into a piece. There are many different kinds of discs that are used for various materials and tasks, such as cut-off discs (diamond blade), abrasive grinding discs, grinding stones, sanding discs, wire brush wheels and polishing pads. The angle grinder has large bearings to counter side forces generated during cutting, unlike a power drill, where the force is axial.

Angle grinding disc is a kind of resin abrasive products with reinforced special fiber fabrics. It is used for grinding, lapping and polishing with a good anti-stretch, anti-bending, and resistance to impact. Most of the abrasives products are synthetic ones made of abrasive and bonding agents, the rest are natural abrasive products processed directly by natural minerals. Widely used in mechanical manufacturing industry and other metal processing industry, abrasive products are also used in non-metallic materials, such as grain processing, papermaking, ceramics, glass, stone, plastics, rubber, and woodworking.

In modern manufacturing, angle grinding discs are basically made in full automatic assembly lines. Room temperature and constant humidity guarantee products' stability. Several points need attention in choice of angle grinding discs. Superior resin, abrasives, and reinforced mesh would be the best choice. Since angle grinding discs require high velocity working, they should be carefully checked to avoid cracks before put into use. When installing angle grinding discs on an angle grinder, specially attention should be paid in case of accident or danger.
