Grinding discs

Tiger Disc™ for Stainless Steel Grinding offers high cut rates for stainless steel applications found in dairy equipment, hospital furniture, medical and surgical equipment, food products machinery, and commercial kitchen and food warming equipment. Cool-cutting is achieved with a fast-cutting abrasive cloth. Other benefits include: high density flat configuration for smooth grinding action; more abrasive cloth per disc for longer disc life; and lighter pressure for less gouging, heat discoloration, undercutting, and thermal part distortion.
