What Is The Difference Between The Grinding Disc And The Cutting Disc?

Grinding discs and cutting discs can be used on the grinder, but the performance requirements are different for the work. Today, we distinguish between angle grinding discs and cutting discs from two levels.

First, the thickness is different. Both take the grinding disc and cutting disc with a diameter of 100 as an example. The grinding disc will be thicker; the thickness of the conventional grinding disc is more than 10mm, while the cutting disc will be thinner, and the thickness of the conventional size is around 1mm. The cutting disc is thinner, so there is less frictional resistance when cutting, which is suitable for cutting operations. However, if the cutting disc is used to polish the workpiece, the cutting disc will be broken due to the pressure on the side. The grinding disc is thick and can bear a large longitudinal force, which is suitable for grinding workpieces, but if it is used for cutting, it cannot cut.

Second, the use of different. The function of the grinding disc is used for grinding and polishing, such as removing the burr on the surface of the steel part, removing the welding tumor on the surface of the steel part, etc., it is necessary to use the grinding disc to remove the burr and smooth the welding tumor. The function of the cutting disc is to cut metal, stainless steel, crushed fire steel, tool steel construction metal, cast gray iron, hard cast iron metal, etc., with high tensile, impact resistance, bending strength, and wear resistance (wear resistance of the grinding wheel High performance, less consumption of abrasive grains, especially when grinding very hard and brittle workpieces). The grinding force of the resin grinding wheel is smaller, the grinding temperature is lower, and the processing process is more secure. The ground workpiece has high precision, good surface quality, and good shape retention. The grinding efficiency is higher than that of other grinding wheels.
