Whether it’s the construction of industrial buildings, parking garages, fences, bridges, or infrastructure in general—such as power poles—the steel construction industry requires constant metal cutting and grinding.
Mostly carbon steel is processed. A wide variety of machines, from angle grinders to chop saws, are used. The grinding tool or cutting disc used must be perfectly matched to the machine and, of course, to the specific application.
This cannot be achieved with a “one-size-fits-all” standard disc. To meet precisely these challenges, RHODIUS has deliberately positioned itself broadly with its extensive product portfolio and various quality lines.
Anyone who uses a lot of abrasives—that is, anyone who has to constantly buy grinding wheels and cutting discs—naturally keeps an eye on costs. For companies in the structural steel construction industry, this presents unexpected and significant opportunities for optimization.
We at RHODIUS are happy to advise you on this, test your tools, and then calculate the most cost-effective and sensible product for you in the long run. And we also keep a close eye on labor costs. It is a key factor in determining whether a softer cutting disc or perhaps a harder grinding tool is the best choice for you, a company specializing in steel construction.
Tips and tricks from pros for pros
Cutting profiles and solid material
A cutting disc can only deliver its full performance if it is perfectly suited to the machine, the application, and the material.
Adjustment and Rework During Installation
Sometimes it’s just a millimeter that sticks out. The grinding disc removes the defect quickly and easily.
Chamfering of welded parts
Chamfers are also applied to remove burrs or to facilitate further assembly.
