The Klingspor PS 18 E grinding disc is a professional-grade abrasive tool engineered for high-performance surface finishing and efficient material removal. Built with a focus on durability and consistent results, this disc is designed to handle demanding industrial and workshop tasks with ease. Its robust construction ensures that it maintains its effectiveness over extended periods of use, providing a reliable solution for various grinding applications.
Advantages
The primary advantage of the Klingspor PS 18 E lies in its high-quality aluminium oxide grain, which offers excellent cutting performance and longevity. The paper backing is specifically selected for its strength and flexibility, allowing the disc to conform to different surface contours while resisting tearing. This combination of materials ensures a uniform scratch pattern and a superior finish, reducing the need for rework and increasing overall productivity in professional environments.
Suitable for
- Smoothing and finishing wooden surfaces
- Removing old paint or varnish layers
- Surface preparation for metalwork
- General sanding tasks in workshops
- Industrial material removal applications
When it may not be suitable
This grinding disc is not intended for heavy-duty grinding of hardened steel or masonry, as these materials may cause premature wear of the abrasive grain. It is also not suitable for wet sanding applications due to the paper backing construction.
Key specifications
- Diameter: 12.5 cm
- Abrasive material: Aluminium oxide
- Backing material: Paper
- Application type: Dry grinding
How to use
To use the Klingspor PS 18 E, ensure that your power tool is disconnected from the power source before attaching the disc to the backing pad. Align the disc carefully with the center of the pad to ensure balanced rotation. Once securely attached, start the tool and apply light, even pressure to the workpiece. Move the disc in a consistent motion to avoid creating deep grooves or uneven spots on the surface. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and a dust mask, during operation.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 12.5 cm diameter is compatible with your specific sander or angle grinder.
- Ensure your tool supports the attachment method required for this disc.
- Consider the grit size requirements for your specific material removal or finishing task.
Usage recommendations
For optimal results, replace the grinding disc as soon as you notice a decrease in cutting efficiency or if the surface becomes clogged with debris. Always store the discs in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the paper backing and the abrasive bond.
