How to Choose a Quality Cutting Disc: Tips from Ataman

In metalworking, many consumables are used, with cutting discs being the most popular among them. Quality discs excel at cutting sheet metal, cleaning weld seams, cutting metal rods, wire, car bodies, and many other tasks. Our goal is to find out how to choose a cutting disc that allows you to work quickly and efficiently without overspending. 

Before providing specific recommendations on choosing cutting discs, it's essential to define what makes a quality cutting disc. According to sociological research, the vast majority of craftsmen who work with cutting discs daily believe that a quality disc should meet three main parameters: 

• Strength - ensured by the best ratio of adhesive, usually an organic bakelite bond, and reinforced fiberglass mesh. 

• Durability - achieved through the optimal proportion of abrasive materials and binding resins in the disc. 

• Safety - balance defined by the uniform height of the disc across its entire radius, achieved by evenly distributing the abrasive mass during manufacturing and excellent pressing technology. 

Thus, we can conclude that a quality cutting disc is the optimal combination of abrasive material, adhesive mixture, and reinforcing mesh, achieving the perfect proportion of strength, durability, performance, and balance. 

How to Find a Reliable Manufacturer? 

Finding a manufacturer of high-quality cutting discs is not too difficult; simply pay attention to the preferences of experienced users. Over the past 16 years, the most prominent player in the market has been TM “Ataman,” which holds the leading position in abrasive disc sales in Ukraine. Thanks to an affordable price and high quality, “Ataman” discs are chosen by both those who used expensive professional brands and those who previously used cheap consumer goods. 

This popularity is mainly due to the unique composition of the abrasive grain in the discs and specific manufacturing features: 

• The disc consists of 95% aluminum oxide and 5% zirconium oxide, increasing its strength and durability. 

• The combination of abrasive grain size and bond hardness provides a long lifespan and high metal processing speed. 

• The rough end surface of the disc reduces the working area temperature by 40-60% and ensures a perfectly smooth cut without burrs. 

• Reinforcement with double-layer fiberglass guarantees 100% safety during work and the maximum possible number of cuts. 

• Excellent balancing ensures comfortable work without knocks and vibrations. 

Additionally, throughout this time, “Ataman” discs remain the cheapest option on the market. Despite the constant appearance of cheap one-day brands, the cost per cut with an “Ataman” disc is minimal. However, achieving such success among users has not stopped the process of improving the technology of “Ataman” disc production. 

We hope these recommendations will help you in your selection. 

Wishing you successful, fast, and safe work!
