Key Features of Faithfull Cutting Discs

Premium Abrasive Composition: Faithfull cutting discs utilise high-grade aluminium oxide grains selected for their exceptional hardness and cutting efficiency. This ensures aggressive material removal whilst maintaining disc integrity even under demanding cutting conditions.

Reinforced Construction: Multiple layers of fibreglass mesh reinforcement are embedded throughout each disc, providing enhanced structural strength and reducing the risk of breakage. This safety-critical feature protects operators whilst extending disc longevity.

Depressed Centre Design: Many Faithfull cutting discs feature a depressed centre configuration that allows the disc to sit flush against workpieces, enabling cutting right up to edges and into corners whilst providing additional hand clearance for improved safety.

Versatile Application Range: The comprehensive range includes discs optimised for different materials—ferrous metals, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and masonry—ensuring users can select the ideal disc for their specific cutting requirements.

Standard Bore Sizes: Faithfull cutting discs feature industry-standard bore sizes compatible with common angle grinders and cutting machines, typically 22.23mm, ensuring broad compatibility across different tool manufacturers.

Temperature Resistant Bonding: Advanced bonding systems maintain their integrity even under the high temperatures generated during cutting operations, preventing disc degradation and maintaining consistent performance.

Popular Faithfull Cutting Discs

115mm Cutting Discs: The most versatile size for general-purpose cutting, ideal for use with compact 115mm angle grinders. Perfect for cutting metal profiles, bar stock, sheet metal, and small-diameter pipework in both workshop and site environments.

230mm Cutting Discs: Heavy-duty discs designed for larger 230mm angle grinders, providing increased cutting depth and faster material removal rates. Favoured by steel fabricators and construction professionals tackling substantial cutting tasks.

Metal Cutting Discs: General-purpose discs formulated for cutting mild steel, structural steel, and ferrous metals. These workhorses deliver reliable performance across the broadest range of everyday metalworking applications.

Thin Cutting Discs: Precision discs with reduced thickness (typically 1mm-1.6mm) that create narrower kerfs, resulting in less material waste, reduced cutting resistance, and extended battery life when using cordless tools.

Stainless Steel Cutting Discs: Specialist discs formulated specifically for cutting stainless steel without contamination, essential for applications where corrosion resistance must be maintained after cutting.

Safety and Compliance

All Faithfull cutting discs are manufactured to comply with EN 12413 standards for abrasive cutting discs, ensuring they meet rigorous European safety and performance criteria. Each disc is clearly marked with its maximum operating speed (measured in RPM), diameter, thickness, and bore size—information that must be checked against your power tool's specifications before use.

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when using cutting discs, including safety glasses or a face shield, hearing protection, protective gloves, and dust masks where necessary. Ensure your work area is well-ventilated, particularly when cutting galvanised or coated materials that may release harmful fumes. Never exceed the maximum rated speed marked on the disc, as this can cause catastrophic disc failure.

Inspect cutting discs before each use for cracks, chips, or damage. Discard any damaged discs immediately—never attempt to use compromised abrasives. Store discs in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures and moisture, which can degrade the bonding agents. Follow HSE guidelines for abrasive wheel use, and ensure operators are properly trained in safe cutting disc operation and wheel mounting procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between metal and stainless steel Faithfull cutting discs?

Standard metal cutting discs contain iron particles within their abrasive composition, which can contaminate stainless steel during cutting and cause rust spots. Faithfull stainless steel cutting discs are formulated without iron content, preventing contamination and preserving the corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel workpieces. Always use the disc type matched to your material for optimal results.

How long do Faithfull cutting discs typically last?

Disc longevity depends on several factors including material hardness, cutting pressure applied, operator technique, and whether the disc is appropriately matched to the material being cut. Under normal working conditions with proper technique, a quality Faithfull cutting disc should complete numerous cuts before wearing down. Signs that replacement is needed include significantly reduced cutting speed, excessive vibration, or when the disc diameter has reduced to near the label ring.

Can I use Faithfull cutting discs on a petrol-powered cut-off saw?

Faithfull produces cutting discs suitable for both electric angle grinders and petrol-powered cut-off saws, but it's essential to verify the disc's maximum rated RPM matches or exceeds your tool's operating speed. Petrol cut-off saws often run at different speeds than electric grinders, so always check compatibility before fitting any disc. The bore size must also match your machine's arbor.

Are Faithfull cutting discs suitable for cutting masonry or concrete?

Whilst Faithfull produces specialist masonry cutting discs, their metal cutting discs are specifically formulated for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Using a metal cutting disc on masonry will result in rapid disc degradation and poor cutting performance. Always select a disc designed for your specific material—masonry discs contain silicon carbide or diamond particles rather than aluminium oxide.

What size cutting disc do I need for my angle grinder?

Cutting disc size must match your angle grinder's specification exactly. Common sizes are 115mm (4.5"), 125mm (5"), and 230mm (9"). Check your grinder's guard and specification plate—using an incorrectly sized disc is extremely dangerous and may cause the disc to contact the guard or exceed safe operating speeds. The bore size (typically 22.23mm for most models) must also match your grinder's spindle.
