Working cleanly and safely
In structural steel engineering, metal needs to be cut and ground as a continuous process – whether to build factory buildings, fencing, bridgework or for larger-scale infrastructure work such as electricity pylon construction.
This usually involves working with carbon steel. A wide variety of machinery is used for these applications – from angle grinders to chop saws. The grinding tool or cutting disc used here must naturally be perfectly matched to both the machine and to the respective application. This is not an area where a ‘one-size-fits-all’ disc will work. To ensure it meets this wide range of requirements, RHODIUS has deliberately created a broad-based portfolio featuring a range of different high-quality product lines.
Quality for any application and at the best price
Cost is obviously going to be a factor for anyone who gets through a lot of abrasives, and therefore buys grinding discs and cutting discs on a regular basis. For engineering firms working in structural steel, there is a surprisingly high potential for optimisation here.
Our RHODIUS consultants offer advice, test your tools and work out what is the most economical and appropriate product for you over the long term. And we also keep an eye on personnel costs at all times. Also important is the choice of perhaps a softer cutting disc or a harder grinding tool as the ideal product for you to use as a company working mostly in the structural steel sector.
Tips and tricks from pros, for pros
Cutting sections and solid material
A cutting disc can only achieve maximum performance if it is a perfect match for the machine, material and application.
Adjustment and rework during installation
Sometimes there’s just a millimetre of material too much. The grinding disc removes the problem quickly and easily.
Chamfering welded parts
Chamfers are also applied while removing burrs or to make subsequent assembly more straightforward.

Quality for every market around the world
From our long-standing local proximity to customers, we know that the machines typically used will differ from country to country. While operators in Germany typically work with a 125 mm or 230 mm tool, customers in Central and Eastern Europe will prefer a 150 mm angle grinder, while those in Asia or in the USA will almost always use a grinder sized at 100 mm or 180 mm instead.
RHODIUS can satisfy the needs of all of these customers, offering cutting discs in sizes from 30 mm to 230 mm, and in depressed and flat variants. Our range of stationary cutting discs extends this portfolio to include diameters from 300 mm to 500 mm.
