A cutting disc for every application and material

Are you looking for the best blades?

When performing a cutting task, many factors must be considered depending on the result we seek. Choosing the right type of cutting disc is essential to facilitate the process and ensure safe cutting.

Which factors determine the choice of a cutting disc

On which tool the disc is to be placed. It is essential to know the diameter of the disc so that it fits perfectly with the machine we have. There are many machines with different proportions, so we must know the specific dimensions to choose the disc.

The material to be worked on. The next fundament factor is the material to be cut. There is a big difference between cutting wood and cutting metal, and under no circumstances should you use the same disc for different materials.
Number of teeth. The more teeth the cutting disc has, the smoother and cleaner the finish will be. Conversely, a disc with fewer but larger teeth will result in a rougher and more irregular cut, eliminating more material. This directly affects the finish we want.
Disc diameter. The diameter of the cutting disc determines the depth of cut can be achieved. Following this logic, a smaller diameter offers a shallower cut than a larger one, but gains in stability.tabilidad.

Different types of cutting discs for each material

Discs for wood. Non-abrasive saw teeth to avoid burning the wood.
Discs for metal. Made from carbide compounds to provide abrasiveness. They offer clean and fine cuts.
Discs for tiles. Diamond discs with large segments for greater cutting precision.
Hard materials. Ventilated diamond discs to prevent overheating and with a thicker width. Many small teeth for clean cuts.

In summary, the number and size of the teeth on a cutting disc determine the finish and the material it can be used for. As blade distributors, CIBA provides any cutting disc you need for your machines and specific needs.
