Cutting disc SPECIALIST BRITVA Basic 125 x 1.2 x 22 mm for metal and thin materials

The SPECIALIST BRITVA Basic cutting disc, measuring 125 x 1.2 x 22 mm, is a professional-grade abrasive tool engineered for efficient cutting of metal and various thin materials. Its ultra-thin 1.2 mm profile is specifically designed to minimize resistance during operation, allowing for rapid, clean, and precise cuts while significantly reducing material loss and heat buildup. This disc is compatible with standard angle grinders featuring a 22 mm arbor, making it a versatile addition to any workshop or construction site.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cutting disc lies in its optimized thickness, which ensures a narrow kerf and high cutting speed. By reducing the amount of material removed during the cut, the disc helps maintain the structural integrity of the workpiece and minimizes the need for post-cut finishing. The durable construction provides a balance between longevity and performance, ensuring reliable results across various metal fabrication and repair applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting sheet metal and thin-walled profiles
• Metal fabrication and construction projects
• Automotive repair and bodywork
• General maintenance tasks requiring precise cuts

When it may not be suitable

This disc is not intended for grinding or side-loading applications, as applying lateral pressure can cause the thin blade to fracture. It is also not suitable for cutting thick solid steel bars or non-metallic materials like stone, concrete, or wood, as these require specialized abrasive compositions.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Thickness: 1.2 mm
• Arbor size: 22 mm
• Application: Metal and thin materials
• Compatibility: Standard angle grinders

How to use

Ensure the angle grinder is disconnected from the power source before mounting the disc. Place the disc onto the spindle, ensuring it is centered correctly on the 22 mm arbor, and tighten the locking nut securely. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection. When cutting, hold the grinder firmly with both hands and allow the disc to reach full speed before making contact with the material. Apply steady, light pressure, letting the disc do the work without forcing it into the metal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the arbor size of your angle grinder matches the 22 mm requirement
• Ensure the maximum RPM rating of your grinder does not exceed the disc's safety limits
• Assess the thickness of the material to ensure it is within the effective range for a 1.2 mm disc

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the disc for cracks or damage before each use. Never use a damaged disc, and ensure the protective guard is properly positioned on your angle grinder at all times to prevent injury from debris.
