Cutting Discs
Cutting discs are essential for fast, clean material removal using angle grinders. Whether you’re slicing through metal, trimming stone, or needing a thin cut-off disc for precision work — we’ve got a full range of sizes, grades and pack sizes ready to ship.
What Are Cutting Discs Used For?
Cutting discs are bonded abrasive wheels designed for rapid material separation:
- Metal Cutting – Pipework, rebar, sheet metal, bolts and angle iron
- Stone & Concrete – Brick, paving slabs, render, and breeze block
- Multi-Material – Some discs cut metal, PVC, plastic and soft masonry
- Thin Cut-Off – Ideal for stainless steel, exhaust pipe or accurate trim work
Used By:
- Builders and groundworkers
- Fabricators, welders and pipefitters
- Electricians and maintenance engineers
Choosing the Right Cutting Disc
Always check disc rating, bore size and application before use:
1. Material Specificity
Metal discs are harder with fine grit. Stone discs have softer bond to resist glazing on mineral surfaces.
2. Disc Thickness
Thin discs (1–2.5mm) give fast, clean cuts with less heat. Thick discs (3mm+) offer stability on tougher jobs.
3. Bore & Speed Rating
Match 22.23mm bore for most grinders. Always check RPM rating meets or exceeds tool max speed.

Cutting Disc FAQs
Can I use a metal cutting disc on stone?
No — the bonding and abrasive type differs. Use only discs rated for stone to avoid damage or failure.
What does 'Inox' mean?
Inox discs are stainless-safe — made without iron, sulphur or chlorine, ideal for stainless steel cutting without corrosion risk.
Are thin discs better?
For fast, clean cutting — yes. But thicker discs are better for rough work or thicker sections where stability matters.
Can I use these on a cordless grinder?
Yes — as long as bore and RPM rating match. Thin discs work particularly well on cordless tools due to lower load.
