Keeping pace with your metalworking


From steels and stainless steels to aluminium – plant engineering uses a wide variety of materials. The same is also true of the work processes to be completed before workpiece is finally finished. Anyone wanting optimum results from plant engineering needs to use the right grinding tools, cutting discs, rough grinding discs, carbide burrs and – for a perfect finish – the best polishing tools available. Tools for stainless steel and aluminium also have to fulfil a very particular set of criteria. Frequently, surfaces must be highly weatherproof and resistant to many materials. The risk of a particular surface rusting later on can be reduced to a minimum at the plant construction stage simply by ensuring that the right tools are used.

Tips and tricks for perfect results in plant engineering


Effective treatment of fillet welds, even on very hard-to-reach areas

Fillet weld grinding

Far and away the best choice here are specialised flap discs with longer flap projections and a sturdy cloth backing. For grinding hard-to-reach corners and contours, a ball-nosed cylinder carbide burr is ideal.

In metal construction, high stock removal performance and long lifetimes are essential.

Grinding welding seams

Carbon steel is used for almost half of all workpieces in plant construction and especially for the construction of support structures. Cutting and grinding is all in a day’s work – and must be both quick and efficient.

Fewer tool changes – cutting and dressing with just one disc

Reworking on the site

Sometimes rework is inevitable on site. Anyone needing to cut, chamfer, deburr or dress a wide variety of solid material, pipes or coated metal sheets – and sometimes at very short notice – really needs a universal tool.

Even more cutting and grinding discs for plant engineering


While plant engineering is dominated by standard jobs like cutting sections, grinding welding seams and fillet weld treatment with a disc or carbide burr – not forgetting the last few adjustments made during installation – as a highly qualified professional, you also expect your tools to be of the very highest quality. A tool that you can rely on – with the longest-possible lifetime and an optimum price-performance ratio. As the experts and leading specialist toolmakers for machine-based metal cutting and grinding, RHODIUS can offer a range of superior products for plant engineering.
