New 0.75 mm Disc For Cutting Thin Material

A thick cut-off disc can cause unwanted burring, localised heating and deformation when cutting thin sheet metal and other delicate materials such as profile and tube of small cross section. To avoid the problem and the possibility of having to rework or scrap the job, Tyrolit has introduced into its Secur Extra range a 0.75 mm disc that is claimed to be the thinnest on the market.

The resin-bonded, fibre-reinforced disc is aimed at automotive repair shops, electrical equipment fitters and tinsmiths, but is also suitable for heavier work such as cutting steel rope and steel reinforcement. The ultra-thin profile results in straight, clean cuts and effortless operation, making it especially suitable for working overhead. The load on hand tool is also reduced.

Two sizes of disc are available, 115 mm and 125 mm diameter, for cutting mild steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals. Both discs have a 42F depressed centre for strength and longevity, and may be used at peripheral speeds up to 80 metres per second.
