Product Information

Full details

Designed for professional metalworkers and serious DIY enthusiasts, these Dapetz 230mm metal cutting discs offer reliable precision when working with stainless steel and various ferrous metals. The 3.2mm thickness provides a balance between structural integrity and material efficiency, though users should note that the 230mm size requires a large-frame angle grinder and careful handling due to the higher rotational energy involved.

FAQs

Can I use these on a 115mm angle grinder?

No. These discs are 230mm and must only be used on angle grinders rated for that specific diameter.

Are these suitable for aluminum?

While they are designed for steel and stainless steel, they can be used for occasional metalwork, though specialized aluminum discs may prevent loading/clogging more effectively.

What is the maximum RPM for these discs?

These discs are rated for a maximum speed of 6,600 RPM.

Do I need specific PPE when using these?

Yes. Always wear impact-resistant eye protection, heavy-duty gloves, a dust mask, and hearing protection.

Why is there a depressed centre?

The depressed centre allows for a lower profile when cutting, which provides more clearance for the grinder's lock nut and allows for flush cuts.

Troubleshooting

Disc is vibrating excessively during use

Check that the disc is properly centered on the spindle and the locking nut is fully tightened.

Disc is cutting slowly or glazing over

Reduce the pressure applied; letting the tool's speed do the work often prevents the abrasive surface from 'polishing' rather than cutting.

Disc shows signs of cracking

Immediately discard the disc. Never use a damaged cutting disc as it poses a significant safety hazard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability for cutting stainless steel
  • Depressed centre design aids in precision
  • Minimal material waste during cuts
  • Standardized 22.2mm bore size
  • High RPM rating for heavy-duty applications

Cons

  • Requires a 230mm angle grinder (not suitable for smaller models)
  • Thicker profile compared to ultra-thin discs
  • Generates significant sparks requiring proper PPE

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your angle grinder is disconnected from the power source. Use the standard locking nut provided with your grinder to secure the 22.2mm bore disc onto the spindle, ensuring it is tightened firmly. Always check the disc for any hairline cracks before mounting. When not in use, store the discs in a dry, flat environment to prevent warping or moisture absorption, which can compromise the bonding agents in the abrasive material.
