There's a metal fabrication company near me that uses stainless and normal steel. Their stainless workshop cannot be accessed from the steel workshop - it prevents contamination. Even staff overalls are kept separate. Galvy spray can be very good. I've seen galvanised steps starting to corrode and yet the patches of galvy spray put over welds and cuts is still going strong! Abrasive wheels is an early lesson to learn and yet so many people fail to clue themselves up on it. You've only scratched the surface here (pun intended) and it might be useful to cover some other basic rules within abrasive wheels too. Thanks for posting this video.
One thing i ran into using/comparing cheap and expensive cutting discs for stainless was that the cheap cutting disc not only wears a lot faster, but it also puts a lot more heat into the material. It leaves a lot more discoleration around the cut than an expensive disc.
All good info for the novice. One area you did not cover was the max rpm, which relates to the size of a new disc and the grinder it's fitted to. The crucial labelling is 80m/s which refers to it's circumferential speed and will be on all discs of whatever size. If you have a 9" disc, rated at 80m/s, once worn small enough, can be used on a 7" / 5" etc grinder that takes discs to the same spec ie 80m/s. Not a lot of people know that. A good money saving tip ;-)
Hey Matt: A bit of positive critical feedback: I noticed that time or two where you described something in jest/sarcasm ( in the Dell domain). I instantly understood the mick-take and had a good laugh to my self. Then I wondered; new viewers (that don't know the Dell history) might switch off instead of getting the benefit from your knowledge, experience and regular ace presentations / subscribing {OOSK!} Richard (formerly Mid wales, now up-nyook) :-)...health and strength buddy
Back in the day my Dad never bought 4 1/2" or 5" cutting discs, he just used worn down 9" ones but went round the edge with pliers breaking them down until it was the right diameter to fit the grinder, this was before the 1mm discs were available.
Useful - thanks. I think the same caveat about stainless contamination applies to rotary wire brushes too doesn't it? I.e. a non-stainless brush will leave particles of bristles behind, which would not be a good look on, say, a stainless exhaust.
They also make discs purely for aluminium, which is awful stuff to grind. You could also mention the clamping nut should be used with recess down for the thicker grinding wheels. Cheers for the info.
Nice informative video but i disagree about cheap and expensive discs being more or less the same. We recently changed to Yorkshire Abrasives discs at work from eng-weld and the difference is mental. The YA ones bind on the nut, have terrible vibration from not being flat, wear much faster and tend to blow up much much much more readily. Id say there can be a significant difference and people should try different discs until they find one theyre satisfied with. I personally think there are some very dangerous disc manufacturers despite their apparent compliance with ISO 6103:2014
I was taught always printed side up, this was in the late eighties and we used to have a lot of directional discs and printed side up was the right way for our earth wind fire erosion discs...
Are we supposed to use the nut on the grinder both ways? I use it one way with cutting discs and turn it upside-down on thicker grinding discs. There is a little lip on the nut which fits down the hole in the disc. Is this wrong? Thanks.
My welding instructor used to say the metal ring went on the nut side to stop it getting crushed... I thought she was having me on at first but she genuinely believed it.
Boss bulk bought some cutting discs at work and ive bever seen anything like em, the minute they touch steel the centre pops out and leaves ya with a big useless abrasive donut 😂 he bought about 700 of em
When I saw the caption of grinding disc labels, I thought it was going to be a video on labels flying off and hitting you in the face, I'm disappointed this was never mentioned, or does it just happen to me😊
Matt, you were asking for ideas on what to do vids on, can you help me design a jig that will allow me to rapidly weld plates to the outside of a tube but diametrically opposed. Tube size will never change. Cheers
Disagree with you on which face of the Slitting Disc faces. The inner metal ring faces down so the grinder nut makes contact. The inner metal ring effectively acts as a washer, so the nut slips on it when tightening and removing. Look at the Flap Disc and the Grinding Disc on the bench. Those discs can only be used one way and the both have the inner metal ring facing down so they make contact with the grinder nut.

"Those discs can only be used one way and the both have the inner metal ring facing down so they make contact with the grinder nut." - This isn't true, look at the video. media.wuerth.com/source/eshop/stmedia/wuerth/images/std.lang.all/resolutions/category/800px/20756297.jpg

It's actually the centre 'tube' (spacer) that is important. The flange surface is to keep the spacer is place.
I did notice at least one that Matt was given was out of date for commercial use. I used to take all the out of date discs from work and use them at home but use a full face mask when using them just in case 😂

One thing to know about cutting aluminium with a grinder, and this is important, aluminium gets hot so don't pick it up on camera.

Quick point, it's not Silicon (Si), it's not Sodium (Na), it's Sulfur (S). Otherwise, bang on.
I said this at one point then lost my mind later on lol

Is it true that only idiots crush an angle grinder in a vice to avoid setting up the linisher?
