Cutting Wheel Proxxon PR28556 — 50 mm Tungsten Carbide Cutting Disc

Proxxon PR28556 — 50 mm Tungsten Carbide Cutting Disc is a compact, replaceable cutting wheel engineered for precision tasks on small rotary tools and mini saws that accept 50 mm attachments. The disc features a tungsten carbide cutting edge to provide high hardness and wear resistance, suitable for working with small metal parts, hard plastics, ceramics and composite materials where precise, clean cuts are required.

Advantages

The tungsten carbide composition offers long service life and maintains a sharp cutting edge under repeated use. Its 50 mm diameter and compact profile permit access to tight spaces and detailed work. As a replaceable disc, it is simple to install and replace on compatible rotary tools, minimising downtime. Designed for precision, the wheel reduces chipping on brittle materials and provides consistent cutting performance on small components.

Suitable for

• Precision cutting of small metal parts and sheet metal
• Shaping and trimming hard plastics and acrylics
• Cutting thin ceramic pieces and composite substrates
• Detail work and model making that require compact cutting tools

Key specifications

• Cutting wheel material: tungsten carbide cutting edge
• Diameter: 50 mm
• Design: replaceable cutting disc for compact rotary tools and mini saws
• Typical applications: metal, hard plastics, ceramics, composites
• Profile: compact for access to confined or detailed areas

How to use

Fit the cutting disc to a compatible 50 mm rotary tool or mini saw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the tool is switched off and unplugged or the battery is removed during installation. Secure the disc with the provided fastening mechanism and verify that it runs true before use. During cutting, use steady, controlled feeds and moderate speed appropriate for the work material to avoid overheating. Apply light pressure and let the wheel do the cutting; excessive force can shorten disc life or cause damage. After use, allow the disc to cool before handling or storing.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection, gloves and respiratory protection when cutting materials that generate dust or particles. Choose cutting speeds and feed rates suitable for the material—slower speeds for brittle ceramics, moderate speeds for metals and plastics—and replace the disc when cutting quality deteriorates or excessive wear is observed.
