High-performance freehand cutting disc for a powerful cut with maximum service life. Iron and sulphur free. • Long service life • Easy cutting • High cutting speed Machine suitability: For freehand use, the FT38 cutting disc is suitable for angle grinders as well as high-frequency (HF) machines and air grinders in any performance class. Material suitability: The FT38 has been designed especially for use on stainless steel (SST, Inox), e.g. 1.4031 (X5CrNi18-10 or 304), steel (carbon steel – also termed structural steel, St37, S235JR and 1.0037) and cast steels, as well as aluminium and other non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass and bronze, etc. Structure and production: The cutting disc contains high-quality corundum (aluminium oxide) and 2 full-coverage glass cloth layers. The minimum side load for the cutting disc as defined by EN 12413 and oSa is 40 N (50 N from a diameter of 150 mm). The expiry date (three years) is embossed in the disc hole ring. Consistently high quality is ensured by sophisticated in-process controls applied during manufacturing. To ensure a maximum level of safety, every thousandth disc is tested destructively. This disc features a straight shape (shape 41). Cutting discs with a straight shape enable deeper insertion depths and therefore a greater number of cuts. Quality: The FT38 gives users the best RHODIUS tool in its category. RHODIUS TOPline products represent a maximum level of performance and quality. Applications: The FT38 offers its users an exceptionally long lifetime (tool life), an aggressive cut, low dust generation and smooth, vibration-free operation during use. This cutting disc helps to make work especially cost-effective. This high-quality tool from RHODIUS is especially suitable for cutting structural steel, tool steel, rustproof and acid-proofed steel, high-alloy steel, high-strength sheet metal, supports, sections, panels and beams. Dimensions: With a disc width of 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm, the freehand cutting disc is available in diameters from 115 mm to 230 mm. Industries: This makes it the ideal tool for the many applications and challenges facing building fitters, as well as in plant and container construction, boiler and tank construction, structural steel engineering, pipeline construction and installation work. Notice: The RHODIUS cutting discs for stainless steel are iron- and sulphur-free. To avoid rusting, you should never change from normal steel back to stainless steel with the same disc.
