How to Take Precaution and Protection of Glass Fiber Discs?

Precise to say that the cut-off wheels, especially the glass fiber discs, is relatively fragile, and such fragile items need to be carefully used and stored. Those cutting and grinding wheels must be handled, mounted and used with the right amount of precaution and protection. Below are the items we collected.

1. Glassfiber discs should always be stored so they are protected from banging and gouging. The storage room should not be subjected to extreme variations in temperature and humidity because these can damage the bonds in some wheels.

2. Immediately after unpacking, all new wheels should be closely inspected to be sure they have not been damaged in transit. All used wheels returned to the storage room should also be inspected.

3. China cut-off wheels should be handled carefully to avoid dropping and bumping, since this may lead to damage or cracks. Wheels should be carried to the job, not rolled. If the wheel is too heavy to be carried safely by hand, use a hand truck, wagon or forklift truck with cushioning provided to avoid damage.

4. Before mounting a vitrified wheel, to take a ring test. The ring test is designed to detect any cracks in a wheel. Never use a cracked wheel.
