Tips and Tricks for Anyone Who Still Wants to Improve

Whether you’re a professional, a specialty retailer, or a DIY enthusiast—on the following application pages, we’ve compiled a wealth of useful information for you on cutting, grinding, and polishing metal. Here you’ll find the best tips and tricks to make your work easier and safer.

After all, grinding tools can be life-threatening if used incorrectly or improperly. For this reason, we are not only a founding member of the oSa (Organization for the Safety of Abrasives) and committed to its safety guidelines, but we also actively educate users on how to use grinding tools correctly. And, of course, we continue to work on developing products that are even safer and gentler on the body.

Our application engineers, Markus and Ivo, have been visiting metalworking companies week after week for years. They observe production processes, continually grapple with the challenges they present, and have spent thousands of hours themselves cutting, grinding, and performing polishing. Markus and Ivo almost always know the best solution; they know exactly what to do, when, and how.
