Q&A

Answers to frequently asked questions that will help solve possible problems and improve the quality of work with abrasive disks Ataman

  • What to do if the wheel is unsteady?

    • The bore diameter and the fixing pin diameter are not the same. – Choose a suitable bore size or use a seal ring.

    • The flange is worn out. – It should be cleaned or replaced.

    • A defective support element can also cause the wheel to oscillate. – Change the machine or support element.

  • Cutting surface is blue. What to do?

    • Insufficient power of the angle grinder. – Use a more powerful angle grinder.

    • Too wide wheel for this type of processing. – Try to use thinner wheel.

    • Long cutting times. – Try increasing the force or speed of pressure.

    • Too hard wheel. – It is recommended to choose a softer tool.

    • Large cross-section of material for a given wheel diameter. – Handle material with a smaller diameter or try using a plate.

  • How to prevent bore breakage?

    • Improper use of equipment. – When operating, it is necessary to reduce lateral pressure.

    • STOP! The cutting wheel is used for stripping. – ATTENTION! Do not use a cutting wheel for stripping.

    • Different mounting flanges. – Use flanges of the same diameter.

  • How to avoid an oblique cut?

    • The work piece for processing is incorrectly fixed. – Try fixing the material closer to the cutting site.

    • The wheel is completely worn out and is not suitable for use. "Just replace it."

    • Check the pressure. – If the pressure is too high, reduce it.

    • Insufficient thickness of the wheel for this type of treatment. – Choose a wheel of greater thickness.

  • Quick wear of the wheel – there's a way out

    • Too many rotations. – It is worth reducing the pressure force or using more powerful equipment.

    • A small circumferential speed. – Make the cutting speed higher.

    • REMEMBER! If the surface of the cut is white, the hardness of the wheel is insufficient. – Choose a harder wheel.

  • The wheel breaks, what to do?

    • Do you operate the angle grinder correctly? – IMPORTANT! Avoid side pressure on the wheel.

    • Material for processing is not fixed correctly. – Place the work piece closer to the work area.

    • STOP! As mentioned above, do not use a cutting wheel for grinding.

    • The flange is not selected correctly: it has an insufficient diameter. – Use a flange of the appropriate diameter.

  • What to do if the periphery of the wheel is worn out?

    • CHECK! Perhaps the wheel was burned around the edge. – Reduce the force of pressure or choose a softer bunch.

    • The work piece is not properly fixed. – Just fix it closer to the cutting site.

  • What are the reasons that the circle is often clogged?

    • Too little force of pressure. – Try to increase it.

    • Blocking is possible during processing non-ferrous metals. – You can choose a soft bunch or a wheel with a softer bunch, but it's better to use a special wheel for processing non-ferrous metals.

    • Too hard a binder of a wheel. – Choose a softer one.

  • Grinding is ineffective, what to do?

    • The reason for this may be the insufficient power of the grinder. – Use more powerful equipment.

    • A small force of pressure. – It's worth to increase

    • The contact surface is glistening: the binder of the wheel is stiff. – It is recommended to choose a softer one.

  • What to do if the wheel moves ineffective?

    • IMPORTANT! The mount is not centered. – Try to correctly adjust the diameter of the hole and the clamping element.

    • The mounting spindle is worn out. – It is necessary to replace the grinder with a new one.

    • The wheel has bends. – Use another wheel.

    • The flange is dirty or blocked. – You need to clean or replace it.

  • What to do if the wheel wears out quickly?

    • Check the pressure. Maybe it's too big. – If necessary reduce the pressure.

    • Insufficient machine power. – Choose powerful equipment.

    • Does the speed of rotation decrease too fast? Also, try to reduce the pressure.

    • Soft binder of a wheel. – Choose a firmer one.

  • What if the edge of the circle breaks off and the periphery is not round?

    • CHECK! The machining angle may be too flat. – The angle must be at least 15.

    • Strong force of pressure. – Try to reduce it.
