Cutting discs
Selecting the optimum RHODIUS cutting disc
The maximum efficiency can only be achieved if a cutting disc perfectly matches your machine and application. We have summarised what you should look out for when choosing a product and how RHODIUS cutting discs differ.
Extra-thin cutting discs
RHODIUS extra-thin cutting discs bear the product code XT. With a maximum width of disc of only 1.9 mm, they are the ideal tool for processing thin-walled materials as well as solid material. Extra-thin cutting discs by RHODIUS cut much easier thanks to the lower friction at the workpiece. This minimises the thermal load and greatly reduces blueing of the workpiece. Its almost burr-free cut also minimises time-consuming reworking.
Sturdy cutting discs
RHODIUS cutting discs with a width of disc greater than 1.9 mm are identified by the code FT within the product name. Thanks to their kind of fabric reinforcement and the associated high stability, they are suitable for tough jobs such as the freehand cutting of structural and tool steel. Use RHODIUS cutting discs with the code ST for stationary cutting.

























Selecting the right cutting disc for the machine:
Very high-performance cutting discs require powerful drive machinery to fully exploit the optimum performance of the cutting discs. Simply identify the output power of your machine and select the matching cutting discs:
| High-power machines start from ... | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machine type | Ø 100 mm | Ø 115 mm | Ø 125 mm | Ø 180 mm | Ø 230 mm |
| Pneumatic angle grinder | < 450 W | < 650 W | < 850 W | < 1600 W | < 1900 W |
| Electric angle grinder | < 550 W | < 1000 W | < 1200 W | < 2000 W | < 2200 W |
Softer cutting discs for low-power machines
⚠️ For low-power angle grinders, select softer cutting discs. Thanks to the softer bond, the abrasive grain can be released more easily. Result: High cutting ability. With hard cutting discs, low-power machines cannot generate the force required to release new abrasive grains. Consequences: The cutting ability decreases and the disc becomes blunt, which can lead to vibrations that significantly shorten the service life of the cutting disc.
Harder cutting discs for high-power machines
⚠️ If you are using a powerful angle grinder, choose hard cutting discs from the RHODIUS high-quality TOPline or PROline ranges. Result: Very long service life and high cutting ability. With soft cutting discs, high-power angle grinders cause the bond to break down more rapidly. Consequences: The service life of the cutting discs is significantly shortened.
