On stainless that matters twice over: heat discolours the cut edge and can damage the passive layer that makes stainless stainless. On RHS, angle, rebar and threaded rod it just means you get through quicker with less burr to grind off afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is that a 1.2mm disc is not a grinding wheel. Never use the face of it, never lean it sideways in a cut, and never fit it to a grinder without the guard on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you fit one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the disc for cracks and check the expiry date — bonded abrasives have a shelf life, usually three years from manufacture, and the date is printed on the ring. Check your grinder's no-load speed does not exceed the 12,200 rpm rating. Fit the guard, wear eye and face protection, and stand out of the plane of rotation while it spins up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125mm (5\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2mm (0.045\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.23mm (7\/8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12,200 rpm \/ 80 m\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStandard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 12413\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCuts\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal, stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I grind with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Cutting only, edge only.
