Grindex · Cutting, Grinding & Finishing Abrasives
Grindex cutting discs are bonded abrasive wheels for cutting metal and stainless steel, available 100–230 mm in 3 mm depressed-centre form for angle grinders and 300–400 mm in 3 mm flat form for chopsaw machines, manufactured to EN 12413 and OSA certified.
Price on request. Supplied from Abu Dhabi across the UAE and GCC — quotations include confirmed lead time and delivery terms.
Where it is used
Features
The range is split between discs for metal and steel and discs for stainless steel and INOX. The distinction is not marketing: a stainless-specific disc is formulated free of iron, sulfur and chlorine, because contamination transferred from an ordinary disc into an austenitic stainless surface causes rust staining and can initiate corrosion. Using the wrong disc on stainless undoes the material’s whole purpose.
Depressed-centre T-27 discs at 3 mm thickness in 100, 115, 125, 180 and 230 mm for angle grinders, and flat T-1 wheels at 3 mm in 300, 355 and 400 mm for chopsaws. T-42 depressed discs are also available — the two sheets in our files cover 115 mm and 180 mm in that type.
The 300–400 mm chopsaw wheels are double reinforced with a design engineered for free cutting on all kinds of pipes, angles and channels, and are suited to lower-power chopsaw machines — where a wheel that loads up stalls the machine rather than cutting.
The abrasive standard followed is EN 12413, the European safety standard for bonded abrasive products, and the products carry OSA number 16465. OSA certification is the recognised third-party safety mark for abrasives, and it is the thing an HSE department looks for before a disc is allowed on site.
Every size carries a maximum operating speed of 80 m/s and a maximum rotational speed in rpm that falls as diameter rises — 15300 rpm at 100 mm down to 6700 rpm at 230 mm. Fitting a disc to a grinder whose no-load speed exceeds the disc rating is the classic cause of wheel burst.
Packed in corrugated boxes — 100 pieces per box for 115 mm, 40 pieces for 180 mm. Consumption on a production fabrication job is high enough that pack quantity matters to both price and store space.

Operating essentials
Every disc carries a maximum rotational speed — 15300 rpm at 100 mm falling to 6700 rpm at 230 mm — and a maximum operating speed of 80 m/s. The grinder’s no-load speed must not exceed the disc rating. This is the single most important check before fitting a disc, and it is the one most often skipped.
Use the stainless/INOX formulation on austenitic stainless steel, not the general metal disc. Iron, sulfur and chlorine transferred from an ordinary abrasive contaminate the surface and cause rust staining and potential corrosion initiation. On a food, pharmaceutical or process plant fabrication this is a rejection, not a cosmetic issue.
The recommended working angle for a cutting disc is 90° to the work. A cutting disc is 3 mm thick and designed to be loaded on its edge; using it at an angle to grind puts a side load on a wheel that was never built for one.
Cutting leaves heat tint and discolouration along the cut edge on stainless. Where corrosion resistance matters, that needs removing by pickling and the surface passivating afterwards — cutting cleanly is only the first half of the job.

Frequently asked
Thickness and intended loading. Grindex cutting discs are 3 mm and designed to be loaded on the edge at 90° to the work. Grinding discs are 6 mm and designed to be used at an angle for stock removal. Using a cutting disc to grind puts a side load on a thin wheel and is a common cause of wheel breakage.
You should not. Grindex supplies a separate stainless/INOX range because abrasives for general steel can transfer iron, sulfur and chlorine into the stainless surface, causing rust staining and potentially initiating corrosion. On food, pharmaceutical or process plant work that is grounds for rejection.
The 115 mm disc is rated to a maximum of 13300 rpm, with a maximum operating speed of 80 m/s. Your grinder’s no-load speed must not exceed the disc’s rating. For 180 mm the limit is 8600 rpm (8500 rpm on the T42 data sheet), and for 230 mm it is 6700 rpm.
Depressed centre 3 mm discs in 100, 115, 125, 180 and 230 mm for angle grinders, and flat 3 mm wheels in 300, 355 and 400 mm for chopsaw machines. Both metal and stainless formulations are available across the angle grinder sizes.
The abrasive standard followed is EN 12413, the European safety standard for bonded abrasives, and the products carry OSA number 16465. OSA certification is the recognised third-party safety mark that most HSE departments look for.
100 pieces per corrugated box for the 115 mm disc and 40 pieces for the 180 mm. Ask us for pack quantities on other sizes.
