angle grinder discs for cutting metal

2. Efficient Cooling One challenge when grinding aluminum is the heat generated during the process. Flap discs are designed to manage heat build-up effectively. Their construction allows for better airflow compared to traditional grinding wheels, which helps keep the workpiece cooler and prevents warping or damage to the aluminum.

3. Maintain a Steady Speed Move the tool steadily along the cutting line. Avoid stopping or slowing down excessively, as this can generate heat and cause the disc to wear more quickly.

Applications in Metalworking

- Material to be cut Different materials require different types of discs. For instance, abrasive discs are suitable for softer metals, while diamond blades are necessary for hard materials.

A flap disc is a type of abrasive tool that features multiple layers or flaps of sandpaper attached to a backing plate. These flaps are arranged at an angle, which allows for a wide surface area for cleaning and finishing. Flap discs come in various grits, from coarse to fine, making them suitable for various stages of woodworking tasks, including grinding, blending, and polishing.
