Changing the disc takes only 3 seconds
With the new X-LOCK system from Bosch Professional, changing 115mm or 125mm cutting discs and grinding discs is up to five times faster. With this quick-change system, no additional tools, flanges, nuts, or wrenches are required.
An X-LOCK disc is simply pressed into the holder on a compatible angle grinder. The audible click confirms to the DIYer that the disc is seated correctly. Thanks to an easy-to-use lever mechanism, the grinding tool can then be easily released after use.
When you need to work on different materials one after another and always want to have the perfectly matched disc mounted on your angle grinder, this system saves you time and hassle. It’s the perfect tool for any metalworking shop, plant engineering firm, or plumbing business.
Grinding Tools for Professionals – Quality Made in Germany
With a disc thickness of just 0.8 mm, the world’s thinnest cutting disc for X-LOCK is a RHODIUS disc. And the innovative flap discs from the groundbreaking RHODIUS VISION series are now also available for the patented quick-change system.
The extra-thin RHODIUS cutting discs, the RHODIUS flap discs, and the high-performance RHODIUS diamond cutting discs enable users to achieve virtually burr-free cuts, deliver impressive cutting performance with a long lifetime, and consistently deliver full performance across a wide range of applications—in stainless steel, steel and aluminum, as well as in concrete, ceramics, and natural stone.
RHODIUS X-LOCK discs in 115 mm and 125 mm diameters are compatible with angle grinders from a wide range of manufacturers—including Bosch, Makita, Berner, and BTI.
RHODIUS plus X-LOCK – Cutting-edge technology meets cutting-edge technology
At RHODIUS, we have been guided by a single principle for nearly 70 years: We want to offer grinding tools that make metalworking easier and more efficient. So what could be more natural than combining our outstanding technologies for even greater performance with an innovative quick-change system?
An outstanding example is the XTK8 X-LOCK: It is only 0.8 millimeters wide and allows for quick tool changes. The cutting disc cuts easily, causes minimal tarnish colour, and reduces burr formation to a minimum.
The development and production of this extra-thin cutting disc for 115 and 125 angle grinders presented a unique challenge. RHODIUS is the first manufacturer to master this challenge and bring it to series production. Here, RHODIUS offers true cutting-edge technology Made in Germany.
Unique, high-performance cutting discs and grinding discs
All RHODIUS discs for X-LOCK are backward compatible, which means they can also be used on a standard angle grinder with a 22.23 mm arbor.
However, the following always applies: Always follow the safety instructions. Wear the recommended protective gear, do not use damaged discs, and use a closed guard when cutting.
