Freehand cutting discs with a 400 mm diameter
A new dimension in discs: the two freehand cutting discs FT30 and FT40 were launched in 2021. An alternative to the 300 mm and 350 mm diameters, both of these RHODIUS cutting discs are now also available in 400 mm.
The FT30 is specially designed for cutting steel and cast steel with a petrol cut-off saw or electric cutting machine. With its extra reinforcement, the FT30 also handles high lateral loads (50 N according to EN 12413 and oSa), which ensures it can be safely used as a freehand cutting disc. A high cutting speed combined with a long lifetime means that the RHODIUS FT30 is an especially cost-effective choice.
Concrete products, screed, sand-lime brick, natural stone and marble have no chance against the RHODIUS FT40 – and the new freehand cutting disc also works well on titanium. The FT40 is characterised by its fast, light and cool cut. As with the FT30, the minimum lateral load is also 50 N (according to EN 12413 and oSa), so the FT40 can also be used as a free-hand cutting disc on petrol cut-off saws and electric cutting machines.
Grinding disc for steel with X-LOCK system
The X-LOCK system for BOSCH Professional angle grinders makes the tool changing process faster, simpler and easier than ever before. In fact, so many customers have already been convinced by X-LOCK that RHODIUS continues to expand its range of grinding tools using this system.
Our popular RS2 grinding disc is now also available in an X-LOCK model, which now lets users enjoy all of its many benefits – from maximum efficiency thanks to high stock removal performance to versatility and a long lifetime – on BOSCH Professional angle grinders. From chamfering and weld seam preparation to deburring, surface grinding and plenty more besides, the RS2 X-LOCK is always the right tool for the job.
Also good to know: when you don’t have a BOSCH machine to hand, the RHODIUS RS2 X-LOCK is also backwards-compatible. This means that the grinding disc can also be used on all angle grinders with a 22.23 socket and from almost any power class.
XT10 Extended and XT20 Extended extra-thin cutting discs go from strength to strength
RHODIUS grinding tools in the EXTENDED premium class offer you at least 30% more performance to make your jobs even more cost-effective. This extra level of performance is achieved by the use of high-quality materials that are carefully matched to one another. We’re not giving away our formula, but we have aimed to get more active abrasive grain onto a much smaller area.
As well as these quality raw materials, a larger diameter also ensures that the RHODIUS XT10 EXTENDED and XT20 EXTENDED extra-thin cutting discs offer better performance. From 2021, the two products are also available as 150, 180 and 230 mm cutting discs.
The RHODIUS XT10 EXTENDED, for use on stainless steel, steel and cast steel, is also available in the diameters 105, 115 and 125 mm. Optimised for working on steel and cast steel, the RHODIUS XT20 EXTENDED is also available as a 115 or 125 mm disc.
Low burring and less sparking plus a high cutting speed are features that are common to all of our XT10 and XT20 products.
New flap disc for maximum stock removal performance
New arrivals for our RHODIUS LSZ FB zirconia flap disc line. This product is now also available with a 150 or 180 mm diameter plus grits of 40, 60 or 80. On angle grinders in any power class, the LSZ FB achieves impressively high stock removal combined with a very long lifetime plus low vibration when working on steel. The flap disc is also suitable for processing stainless steel.
A wealth of features are designed to simplify your work. From the tapered design of the flaps that offers ergonomic handling to the fibre glass backing pad that ensures high contact pressure can be maintained, as well as the high-quality zirconium that achieves an aggressive stock removal.
High-performance disc in diameters of up to 404 mm: RHODIUS LD300
The LD300 diamond cutting disc is the flagship product from the RHODIUS range of diamond tools for use on concrete. Key features include the tall, 12 mm turbo segments, which not only ensure a longer lifetime but also achieve high cutting speeds and better transport of dust and debris away from the work area. From hard brick and various types of concrete and ferroconcrete to road kerbs, asphalt and much more – the RHODIUS LD300 is capable of tackling a huge variety of jobs. Whether wet or dry cutting, the tool cuts easily through medium-hard to hard material.
The LD300 high-performance cutting disc is as flexible as the power tool chosen to work with. The disc can be used on petrol cut-off saws, table saws and freehand on angle grinders, and produces effective results on machines in any power class. But on high-performance machines in particular, the RHODIUS LD300 really shows its class. And this is also why we have now expanded our range of TOPline diamond cutting discs. While we used to stop at 230 mm, we now offer discs in 304, 354 and 404 mm diameters with a 25.4 mm socket. A reducer ring to adapt the socket to 20 mm is also always provided.
RHODIUS KSN V – the new abrasive mesh
The new KSN V abrasive mesh has been designed to meet the requirements of automotive users. In this sector, abrasive meshes are used on many different materials, like GFRP, paint, filler and (stainless) steel. All of these materials can be easily worked with the RHODIUS KSN V, and excellent results can even be achieved on wood, for example.
The open mesh structure featured on the KSN V offers you a number of advantages, including high tear strength, maximum dust extraction and minimal clogging, as well as compatibility with a wide range of rotary sanders regardless of the specific hole system used.
The RHODIUS KSN V is available in the diameters of 125 and 150 mm, plus grits of 80 to 400. The abrasive grain used is high-quality aluminium oxide.
New PROline carbide burrs
We have completely redesigned the Z7 cut used on our carbide burrs. So much so, that the Z7 PRO now joins the RHODIUS PROline range of tools that meet truly demanding standards. The double cut is cut into the heads of our carbide burrs by high-precision diamond discs on our ultramodern 6-axis CNC machines. This more resilient cut makes for a longer lifetime and a more powerful cutting geometry than was the case of the old Z7 cut. High concentricity and easy handling with less aggressive stock removal means that high-precision work is also much more achievable with the RHODIUS PROline carbide burrs.
The HF PRO carbide burrs are available in all standard industry shapes, from A to M. Examples include the HF C PRO in WRC/ball-nosed cylinder and the HF H PRO FLF/flame. The RHODIUS PROline carbide burrs are available with head diameters of 6, 8, 9.6 or 12.7 mm, depending on shape, and can all be used on straight grinders as well as air grinders. HF PRO carbide burrs can be used to work a wide range of materials, including (stainless) steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals.
