Grinder: which disc to use
The angle grinder or “flex” is a power tool available to all companies that need to cut, grind or sand different materials or specific materials. Today we will delve into which discs can be used on the flex and for which applications.
Angle grinder: abrasive discs
The first discs we are going to analyze are the abrasive discs for angle grinders. These black discs are very specific products for grinding or cutting metals and steels.
Flap abrasive discs
The grinding disc is commonly very often with a lowered flange to allow horizontal use. You will notice that in the contact part there is a mesh that allows you to use the product even on the edges of steel and metals. The most common use is to remove burrs or to grind excess weld parts. Today, most of these grinder discs have been replaced by flap discs with different grits. These products allow you to choose what degree of finish you can obtain.
Nord Srl has a very high quality product with different grain sizes: 40, 60, 80, 120. Our YZK has a fiber flange and is a made in Italy product to comply with high safety standards.
Abrasive cutting discs for grinder
Abrasive cutting discs are very thin, usually 1.6 to 1.0 mm thick. Again, they offer maximum performance on ferrous materials such as metals or steels. Our YST is a high-performance product with a thickness of 1.0 mm. It can also be used on stainless steel, metal and iron without putting pressure on the power tool . This product is also made in Italy to meet the best safety and reliability standards.
The abrasive cutting discs for angle grinders allow you to cut even very soft materials such as: plastic or PVC pipes. With this type it is also possible to grind, grind and ratify the cut if there is a surface burr.
Grinder: diamond discs
Diamond discs or disks for grinders are ideal for cutting hard and abrasive materials such as: concrete, bricks, granite and stone, marble and ceramic or porcelain stoneware tiles.
Turbo diamond discs
Turbo diamond discs for flex are the most commonly used. This type of tool allows you to make very fine and fast cuts with ease. The continuous turbo crown is ideal for dry cutting and allows for quick cooling of the tool.
Universal Turbo Diamond Discs for Grinder
Nord Srl has been producing diamond discs since 1960 in Italy. The universal turbo diamond discs for angle grinders are the most used.
The diamond crown formula is composed of soft metal powders so that it can adapt to different materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles, natural stones and ceramics.
Turbo diamond discs for ceramic and porcelain stoneware
Diamond discs for porcelain stoneware are very thin. La Nord Srl products are specific for fast and clean cutting of porcelain stoneware with thicknesses up to 2 cm. The cutting thickness varies according to the version.
Our KTRDO has a cutting thickness of 1.2 mm and is suitable for all types of porcelain stoneware, even those with a very glassy and delicate marble effect. The KT has a cutting thickness of 1.3 mm and is very soft and suitable for fast cutting of stoneware with thicknesses of 2 cm. Our KSP, on the other hand, is a product designed for 45° or jolly cutting on porcelain stoneware tiles or slabs. Its reinforced flange allows excellent performance even on inclined cuts.
Turbo diamond discs for granite and natural stone
Our flagship product GRGL is the diamond blade par excellence for granite and natural stone. This product has optimal cutting performance on tiles or granite, gneiss or marble tops. The diamond crown has an ad hoc formula to guarantee a clean, sharp cut and long life.
