Grinding wheels, cutting discs, and grinding discs differ in type and application. Below is a breakdown of the differences between the three:
1. Grinding wheels can be classified according to the materials used: resinoid grinding wheels, vitrified grinding wheels, diamond grinding wheels, etc.
2. Cutting discs can also be divided into: resin cutting wheels, diamond cutting discs, tile cutting discs, marble cutting discs, stainless steel cutting wheels, rail cutting wheels, road cutting wheels, etc.
3. Grinding discs, also known as circular sandpaper, are a type of grinding disc. Circular sandpaper discs are made from sandpaper and come in two types: those with a felt coating and those with double-sided adhesive. Grinding discs are mainly used for polishing hardware parts, plastics, and automotive parts, and they are faster than regular sandpaper. Grit sizes include 60#, 80#, 100#, 120#, 150#, 180#, 220#, 240#, 320#, and 400#.
A more common way to categorize them is by their application: grinding wheels for grinding machines, grinding wheels for milling machines, saw grinding wheels, grooving wheels, worm grinding wheels, internal grinding wheels, etc.
A cutting disc is used to cut things; it's generally used for feeding materials.
