Cutting Discs versus Grinding Discs – when to use what?

Cutting discs and grinding discs are both tools used for material removal, but they are designed for different applications.

Cutting discs are thin, flat discs that are used for cutting through metal or other hard materials, such as concrete or masonry. They typically have a diameter of 4-14 inches and a thickness of 0.04-0.12 inches. Cutting discs are designed to cut through material quickly and cleanly, and they are typically used with angle grinders or other handheld power tools.

Grinding discs, on the other hand, are thicker and have a larger surface area than cutting discs. They are designed for grinding and smoothing rough surfaces, such as welds, metal edges, or concrete surfaces. Grinding discs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including flat, depressed center, and conical, and they can be used with angle grinders or other power tools.

When deciding whether to use a cutting disc or a grinding disc, you should consider the material you are working with and the job you need to do. If you need to cut through metal or other hard materials, a cutting disc is the appropriate tool. If you need to smooth or grind rough surfaces, a grinding disc is the better choice.

It's important to note that using a cutting disc for grinding or a grinding disc for cutting can be dangerous and can damage the disc, the tool, or the workpiece. Always make sure you are using the right tool for the job and follow all safety guidelines and instructions.
