CUTTING DISCS AND BLADES

General

Cutting discs and discs are available in two standard designs; abrasive discs and diamond discs.

High speed portable tools

Cutting discs of the make Husqvarna are manufactured for portable, high speed, power cutters. If other makes of cutting discs are used, ensure the discs comply with all the directives and requirements attributed to the specific type of power cutter.

!WARNING!

Never exceed the maximum working speed of a cutting disc.

Special discs

Some cutting discs are designed for stationary equipment and for use with attachments, for example, rail cutting equipment. These types of cutting discs must not be used on portable, power cutters.

!WARNING!

Never use a cutting disc for any other purpose than that it was intended for.

Always contact local authorities and make sure you are following applicable directives.

Abrasive discs

The cutting material in an abrasive disc consists of abrasive corn that is held together by an organic bonding agent. ”Reinforced discs” are made up of a fabric or fibre base that prevents total breakage at maximum working speed if the disc should be cracked or damaged. (The term reinforced does not refer to those cutting discs that are only reinforced around the flange).

A cutting disc’s performance is determined by the type and size of abrasive corn, and the type and hardness of the bonding agent.

Characteristics that give the disc a shorter service life and greater cutting capacity are said to make the disc ”softer”. A disc with a longer service life and slower cutting capacity is a disc with a ”harder” effect.

High quality cutting discs are normally more economical. Lower quality cutting discs usually have an inferior cutting capacity and shorter service life, which results in higher cost per processed material.
