Inox cutting disk

[diogofcr]

All my thin cutting disks say INOX (stainless steel) does that mean I am only supposed to cut stainless with them or can I cut normal steel? I am sorry for my ignorance but I just have to clarify this question

They are ok for everything else.
I have used them on wood and aluminium as well

X2 with Wyn, Don't force them, Just let them cut at their own speed.

X3 Go very gently with them. If the grinder starts slowing even a little, you are going too fast, and all you do then is wear the disc out.

Our Install team uses them, when ripping out old systems.
As all ready stated, take your time and they will cut and give a good finish.

INOX disks are suitable to use on stainless steel AND mild steel. It's when the disk isn't INOX rated that you can't (shouldn't) use on stainless steel as the disk will contaminate the stainless. Still okay for mild steel though.

Thank you everyone. I was just afraid cause I can never find non INOX thin discs, I can only find them without saying INOX but they are like 3 mm thick

Like a lot of modern stuff it's economy of scale. Whilst it might be a bit more expensive to make the INOX ones it's cheaper to make 1M INOX than 500K and the other 500K not.
