Hello dear the inhabitants of our site and site visitors!
Each of those present here, one way or another, does something crafts, creates or repairs do it yourself. To do this, we have a variety of hand and power tools, with which we bring to life our ideas and ideas. Including angle grinder, or simply put - Bulgarian. This can be said to be a universal tool, since in addition to cutting functions, it is also used for grinding products. Of course, there are many various additional nozzles for this tool, but this is not about them. As we are well aware, the surface of grinding discs wears out very quickly, especially their edges. After all, they have the main load when working with any material. The disk quickly becomes unusable. The quality of work performed is decreasing.
It seems that the rest of the disk is intact, but it is no longer convenient for them to work. We are talking about grinding flap discs. But no need to rush and throw such a disk. He can be given one more, or even several chances. Depending on the degree of wear. In order to restore such a disk and use it again, you will need an electric sharpener. Having launched both him and the angle grinder, we grind the worn out part. As the author shows in his photo, the recovered disk copes with its work just as well as the new one!
If, during operation, the disk has caught on some unevenness and part of its petals has been torn off, then this disk is also subject to restoration. Although not in its original form, but still, after restoration it will work just as well as before. In order to restore this disk, you yourself delete the remaining petals of the disk, being careful not to damage the base itself. The base is thoroughly cleaned. Next, take a regular piece of sandpaper, but not on a paper basis, but on a rag. Paper does not withstand high speeds. The base is attached and circled. We cut out a circle and after making a hole in the middle, we attach it to the disk. Then we work as usual. There will be no complaints about the quality of the work performed.
Further in this article we will talk about cutting discs. It so happens that the wheels break. Either by negligence, dropped there, hit, or while working. If the disk breaks during operation, then this is the most dangerous thing that can be. Since the fragments of the disk at high speed can get into a person working angle grinder and cause him serious injury and damage. Therefore, if possible, work in compliance with safety precautions and be sure to wear safety glasses! So, you have a detachable failed disk. Most throw them away, because cannot find them a scope in such quality. But this does not mean that they cannot be reused.
In addition to angle grinders, many use an engraver. What kind of discs everyone who worked with this tool knows is thin and very fragile. Such, even with very careful work, VERY often break. This is where your broken cutting discs come in handy. An engraver disk is applied to the surface of such a disk, circled, and then cut with scissors for metal. A hole is made in the center of the circle and the disk for the engraver is ready. It is much stronger than those drives that are designed specifically for these machines. Using such a disk, it is possible to process a sufficiently thick metal, and their wear will be much less. Depending on the state of the source material, 5 or more disks for an engraver leave one Bulgarian disk.
With such simple tricks, you can give a second and subsequent lives to discs, which, it seemed, were irrevocably corrupted.
