metallilõikeketas

Metallilõikeketas, also known as a metal cutting disc, is a circular abrasive tool designed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. These discs are typically made from abrasive grains, such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, bonded together with a resin. They are commonly used with angle grinders or cut-off machines.

The abrasive grains perform the cutting action by grinding away material from the workpiece. The bonding material holds the grains together and provides the disc's structural integrity. Metallilõikekettad come in various diameters and thicknesses, chosen based on the specific application and the power of the tool being used. Thicker discs are generally more durable but can be less flexible, while thinner discs offer a faster and cleaner cut but may wear out more quickly.

Safety is paramount when using metallilõikekettad. Users must wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection. The workpiece should be securely clamped to prevent movement during cutting. It is also important to ensure the cutting disc is compatible with the material being cut and the speed rating of the tool. Never exceed the maximum RPM (revolutions per minute) specified for the disc. Regular inspection of the disc for damage, such as cracks or chips, is crucial before each use.
