Vágókorongok

Vágókorongok, also known as cutting discs or abrasive discs, are consumables used with angle grinders and other cutting tools for a variety of material processing tasks. They are typically circular in shape and made from abrasive materials bonded together with a resin. The specific abrasive material, grit size, and bond strength are chosen based on the material to be cut and the desired speed and finish of the cut.

Common abrasive materials include aluminum oxide for general purpose cutting of metal, silicon carbide for cutting stone, concrete, and glass, and zirconia alumina for cutting tougher metals. The discs are reinforced with fiberglass or metal mesh for structural integrity and safety, especially when operating at high rotational speeds.

The use of vágókorongok requires proper safety precautions. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses or face shields, gloves, and hearing protection. It is also crucial to ensure the cutting disc is securely attached to the grinder and that the tool is in good working condition. Over-application of pressure or cutting at an incorrect angle can lead to disc breakage, posing a significant safety risk. Regular inspection of the disc for signs of wear, chipping, or damage is essential before each use.
