Three years

These expiration dates are usually expressed in months and years, such as 03/2018, and their printing date complies with the manufacturing regulations EN12413: 2007 A1. This date is usually printed on the center ring, up to three years from the time the disc was manufactured. On smaller discs without a ring, this date may be printed on the label, or even the disc itself.

The reason these discs have an expiration date is due to the resin used in the manufacturing process. This resin is used to bond the abrasive, and over time, the resin will absorb moisture, which will cause the cutting or grinding disc to deteriorate.

Using a disc beyond its expiration date will cause the disc to fail and will most likely cause serious injury to the operator and anyone nearby. Retailers are also responsible for not selling outdated discs.

Cutting Disc Type

Classified by purpose

The corresponding purpose is marked on the cutting blade for different purposes

Stainless steel cutting blade

Non-Fe / S / Cl cutting blades for cutting stainless steel, also called inox cutting blades, are generally the most common thickness of 1.6mm, and are suitable for thin plates, wire ropes, and thin-wall profiles made of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals and composite materials And pipes. Used on angle grinders, 115mm diameter cutting discs and 125mm cutting discs are more durable for customers.

Metal cutting blade

Suitable for thin plates, wire ropes, thin-walled profiles and pipes made of metal and non-ferrous metals and composite materials. Angle grinder metal cutting wheels used on angle grinders, 115mm, 125mm, 180mm and 230mm diameter cutting wheels are more durable for customers

Aluminum cutting blade

Aluminum grinding discs for pipes made of sheet metal, wire ropes, thin-walled profiles, metal and non-ferrous metals, and composite materials.115mm, 125mm, 180mm and 230mm cutting wheels used on angle grinders are more durable for customers.

Stone cutting blade

It is mainly used for cutting marble, granite and ceramic tile. The angle of the stone cutting disc of the angle grinder is 100mm, 115mm, 125mm, 180mm and 230mm.

Classified by size

Mini cutting blade

2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch cutting blades are called mini cutting blades, and are generally used to cut various types of steel

4-9 inch cutting blades are most commonly used

Classified by thickness

Ultra-thin cutting blade

The cutting blade with a thickness of 0.8mm is called an ultra-thin cutting blade. The super smooth cutting disc is characterized by fast and smooth cutting speed and low contact pressure.

Thin cutting disc

The cutting wheel with a thickness of 1mm or 1.6mm is called a thin cutting wheel. This thickness can quickly cut different materials and minimize the friction of steel. It has obvious advantages in the competition of various brands.
