What size angle grinder is required?

These discs are designed for use with 4 1/2" (115mm) angle grinders.

Do I need a backing pad?

How long do the discs last?

The discs are designed to last significantly longer than conventional sanding discs, offering extended use and value.

What grit size is this disc?

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. Use appropriate dust protection, especially when working on materials that produce a lot of dust. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated.

Can I use these discs for wood sanding?

While these discs are primarily designed for metalworking, they can be used for wood sanding. However, be aware that the 40 grit may be too aggressive for some wood projects. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Disc is wearing out too quickly.

Check the pressure being applied; excessive pressure can accelerate wear. Ensure the correct disc type for the material being worked on is being used. Make sure you are using the disc on the appropriate angle grinder.

Disc is not cutting effectively.

Ensure the disc is securely mounted. Check that the disc is suitable for the material. Try a different speed setting on the angle grinder if available.
