FAQs

Match the disc diameter to the tool's rated wheel size. Small angle grinders (typically 720W and below) run 100mm or 115mm discs. Large angle grinders (1500W+) run 180mm or 230mm discs. 125mm is the in-between size that fits both small and medium angle grinders. The arbor bore is standardised at 22.23mm (7/8 inch) across all common angle-grinder discs. Disc diameter is listed on product pages; the disc must not exceed the tool's rated maximum diameter.

A cutting disc is thin (typically 1-3mm) and used edge-on to cut through metal — fast, narrow kerf, used to slice through bar, tube, and section steel. A grinding disc is thicker (typically 6-7mm) and used flat-on to remove material, dress welds, blend joints, or shape metal — slower material removal but designed for sustained side-loading. Don't use a thin cutting disc for grinding — the disc isn't reinforced for side-load and can shatter. Use the right disc for the operation.

Yes. Stainless-rated cutting and grinding discs are contamination-free — the bond and abrasive are formulated without iron, sulphur, or chlorine, so embedded particles can't contaminate the stainless workpiece and trigger pitting corrosion later. Using a standard mild-steel disc on stainless seeds the surface with iron particles that rust into the stainless under moist conditions, ruining the corrosion-resistance. For any stainless-steel work, always use stainless-rated discs (clearly marked) and dedicated tools or thoroughly cleaned tools.

Store discs flat in their original packaging, in dry conditions, away from chemicals and moisture. Don't store discs against walls, leaning at angles — the bond can stress and crack without visible signs. Don't use any disc with visible chips, cracks, moisture damage, or beyond its stamped expiry date (typically 3 years from manufacture). Always check the rated maximum RPM stamped on the disc against your tool's spindle speed before fitting. Wear eye protection — abrasive discs throw sparks and small fragments under cutting load.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you.

Abrasive Cutting & Grinding

Within Cut & Grind, Abrasive Cutting & Grinding is the highest-volume sub-section — covering the bonded abrasive discs used for metal cutting and grinding with angle grinders, cut-off saws, and bench grinders. Parts For Machines supplies the standard cutting discs, grinding discs, and combined cutting/grinding discs used in fabrication, automotive bodywork, and general workshop steelwork. Bonded abrasive discs are made by binding abrasive grains (typically aluminium oxide or zirconia) in a resin or vitrified bond, formed into discs reinforced with fibreglass mesh. The disc diameter, thickness, arbor, and bond chemistry determine which application the disc fits. Cutting discs are thin (typically 1-3mm thick) — used edge-on to cut through metal. Grinding discs are thicker (typically 6-7mm) — used flat-on to remove material, dress welds, or shape metal. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Abracs across the abrasive cutting and grinding range. Abracs is a UK abrasives specialist whose product line covers the standard angle-grinder and cut-off saw disc diameters and thicknesses across cutting, grinding, and combined-purpose discs in resin-bonded and vitrified-bonded variants. Specifications listed on product pages include diameter (typical range: 100mm, 115mm, 125mm, 180mm, 230mm), thickness, arbor bore (22.23mm / 7/8-inch is the angle-grinder standard), maximum operating RPM (must exceed the tool's spindle speed), and the rated material the disc is designed to cut or grind (general carbon steel, structural steel, stainless steel — stainless-rated discs are contamination-free, with no iron, sulphur, or chlorine in the bond). Bonded abrasive discs have a stamped manufacture date and typical 3-year working life — beyond the expiry, the bond can degrade. Always check the rated RPM against the tool, store discs flat in dry conditions, and never use a disc with cracks, chips, or moisture damage. Trade pricing on bulk and case-pack orders is available; abrasive consumables are a high-frequency reorder line. Contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 for a quote on volume requirements.
