5.2 Tecniche di molatura e taglio

Allow the disc to reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece. Apply moderate pressure; excessive force can reduce efficiency and damage the disc or tool.

• Macinazione: Hold the tool at an angle of approximately 15-30 degrees to the workpiece. Move the tool smoothly across the surface.
• Taglio: Hold the tool perpendicular to the workpiece (90 degrees). Make straight, steady cuts. Do not apply side pressure to the cutting disc, as this can cause it to shatter.
