Working cleanly and safely


In vehicle construction – including special-purpose vehicles, utility vehicles, construction machinery or car repairs and body maintenance – the kinds of work that require an angle grinder, or the cutting or finishing of metal parts are very varied. Steel is the material usually worked with – and to a lesser extent aluminium and stainless steel. The grinding tool or cutting disc used here should be perfectly matched to both these materials and to the respective application.

We help you pick the right product and offer some useful tips for safe usage – whether in vehicle construction or car repair work.

Tips and tricks from pros, for pros

Cutting out thin metal sheets

Even more grinding tools for vehicle construction and body making


The RHODIUS grinding tools product range, which includes cutting discs and grinding discs for vehicle construction, body making and car repair work is a truly comprehensive portfolio, offering products for cutting especially thin metal sheets, removing welding seams in hard-to-reach places, working with steel for vehicle subframe construction, and removing paint residues or rust before priming and painting work.

The RHODIUS SVS non-woven disc offers especially gentle abrasion that does not damage the surface. Care is needed, however: a non-woven disc is only suitable for use on an adjustable-speed angle grinder or straight grinder. The non-woven material will melt at excessive speeds. The optimum speed here ranges from 3000 rpm to 7000 rpm. The RHODIUS SVS disc is naturally also available as a MINI version for use on straight grinders – because who actually wants to dismantle half the vehicle just to make a few repairs to the bodywork?
