ASK THE EXPERT: Which way does a cutting disc go on an angle grinder?

[Music]

hello I'm Paul from ask the expert so

today we have a question uh from another

viewer which way does a cutting disc go

on an angle grinder now this is a

question we get a lot here at Norton

abrasive so I'm happy happy to answer

this one so for a conventional straight

cutting disc such as this it really

doesn't matter it's up to you uh what

however you want to to to mount the disc

whatever your preference is but top tip

for me I like to mount this disc with a

label facing out that's purely so I know

what product I've got on this machine so

I know what I can use it for there are

however some exceptions to this rule

products such as this a product here

which is a type 27 product which means

it has a depressed Center so when we're

mounting this on an angle grinder we

must always make sure that the raised

part of the Hub is facing the machine so

you need it mounted there like this

another exception would be a diamond

cutting blade such as this product here

now these segments around the periphery

of the disk here are actually orientated

and designed in a way to give you the

maximum cut and also eject debris from

the cut area this is signified by a

directional arrow on uh the blotter here

so we must always pay attention to that

to get the maximum performance out of

this product so when we Mount this on

the machine we must always make sure

this rotational arrow is going in the

direction of the rotation of the angle

grinder I hope that answers your

question uh any more questions pop them

down on the chat we'll see you next time
