Machine suitability: The FT38 cutting disc is suitable for handheld use with angle grinders as well as for high-frequency (HF) and pneumatic machines of all power classes. Material suitability: The FT38 is specifically designed for use on stainless steel (VA steel, Inox), such as 1.4301 (X5CrNi18-10 or 304), steel (black steel also known as construction steel, St37, S235JR, 1.0037 or carbon steel), and cast steel, as well as aluminum and other non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, bronze, etc. Construction and manufacturing: The cutting disc contains high-quality corundum (aluminum oxide) and two full-surface fiberglass fabrics. The minimum side load for the cutting disc is 40 N according to EN 12413 and oSa, and from a diameter of 150 mm, it is 50 N. The expiration date (three years) is embossed on the bore ring. Through extensive in-process controls during production, consistent quality is ensured. To provide maximum safety, every thousandth disc is destructively tested. This is a straight form disc (Form 41). Straight form cutting discs allow for a greater immersion depth and thus more cuts. Quality: With the FT38, the user receives the best RHODIUS tool in its category. RHODIUS TOPline products stand for the highest level of performance and quality. Application: In use, the FT38 is characterized by a very long service life, an aggressive cut, minimal dust generation, and excellent running smoothness. This cutting disc allows for particularly economical working. This RHODIUS quality tool is especially suitable for cutting construction steel, tool steel, stainless and acid-resistant steel, high-alloy steel, high-strength sheet metal, beams, profiles, plates, and girders. Dimensions: The freehand cutting disc with a disc width of 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm is available in diameters from 115 mm to 230 mm.
