Choosing the Right Disc
Not all discs suit all jobs – or all grinders. Here’s how to pick the right one:
1. Disc Size
Most grinders use 115mm or 125mm discs. Bigger grinders can take 230mm – always check guard size and RPM rating.
2. Material Type
Use metal-cutting discs for steel, and diamond or stone-rated discs for masonry and concrete.
3. Task Fit
Cutting discs are thin for fast results. Grinding wheels are thicker and remove more. Flap discs finish or blend. Match the disc to your end goal.

Grinder Disc FAQs
Can I use a cutting disc for grinding?
No – cutting discs are too thin and may shatter under side pressure. Always use a grinding disc for shaping or smoothing.
What’s the difference between flap discs and grinding wheels?
Flap discs use sandpaper-like flaps to smooth surfaces, ideal for finishing. Grinding wheels are coarser and designed for bulk removal or weld clean-up.
Are diamond discs suitable for dry cutting?
Yes – many diamond discs are rated for dry cutting. Using water helps reduce dust and prolong disc life but isn’t always required.
What RPM rating should my disc have?
Match the disc RPM to your grinder’s max speed. Most 115mm discs are rated for up to 13,300 RPM.
Can one disc be used for all materials?
Not safely – always choose the right disc type and abrasive for your material. Misuse may cause poor results or disc failure.
