Choosing the right Robtec cutting disc
When selecting a Robtec cutting disc, consider the following factors:
Material to be cut: Use the INOX disc for stainless steel to prevent contamination and for a cleaner cut. Use the metal cutting disc for general steel and iron.
Tool compatibility: Ensure the disc's diameter and bore size match your angle grinder or chop saw.
Disc thickness: Thinner discs provide faster, cleaner cuts with less material waste. Thicker discs are more durable and suited for heavy-duty applications.
Performance: For fast and precise cuts, the INOX series is designed for higher efficiency. For general-purpose work, the standard metal cutting disc is a reliable option.
