Cutting and grinding tools are among the most powerful — and potentially dangerous — tools on any job site. Used correctly, they deliver fast, clean results. This guide covers disc selection, safe mounting, proper technique for angle grinders, bolt cutters, and cable cutters.
Quick Summary
✅ Choose disc by material — grinding disc for steel, flap disc for polishing
⚠️ Inspect disc before use — cracks can cause disc explosion at high RPM
🔧 Bolt cutter 350mm — for bolts, chains and locks up to 8mm
💡 Cable cutter — always cut perpendicular, never at an angle

⚠️ Before You Start
Before spinning any disc — inspect for cracks, chips or uneven wear. A damaged disc spinning at 11,000 RPM can shatter and cause severe injury. Safety glasses are absolutely mandatory.
Step by Step — Correct Use of Cutting and Grinding Tools 👷
Select the right disc — Steel grinding disc for iron/steel cutting. Flap disc for polishing and rust removal. Cup brush for lighter cleaning. Never use a cutting disc for grinding — it's not designed for lateral forces.
Mounting disc on angle grinder — Ensure grinder is off and unplugged. Mount disc with guard covering at least 50% of disc. Tighten with supplied wrench.
Using cutting disc — Hold grinder with both hands. Apply light pressure — let the disc do the work. Heavy pressure = rapid wear. Keep perpendicular to material.
Bolt cutter 350mm (jctop) — For bolts, chains, hooks and locks. Position bolt in the jaw, keep perpendicular, cut with a single strong motion.
Cable cutter 6-10" — Always cut perpendicular (90°) to the cable. Diagonal cuts create uneven ends that fray. For thick cables — use rolling motion.
Diamond grout scraper — Hold at 45° to grout line. Work along the joint with short, sharp strokes.
💡 Pro Tip
Experienced builders always keep the disc guard installed — not just for safety, but because it also directs sparks away from the workpiece and stabilises the cut direction.

Difference between cutting disc and grinding disc?
Cutting disc — thin, designed for straight cuts perpendicular to the material. Grinding disc — thicker, for material removal and polishing. Using them wrong is dangerous — cutting discs shatter under lateral pressure.
What thickness can the jctop 350mm bolt cutter handle?
The jctop BA0140 350mm bolt cutter handles bolts, wire and chains up to 8mm diameter. For thicker material, a larger cutter is needed.
Does zirconia flap disc work on stainless steel?
Yes! Zirconia flap discs are ideal for stainless steel, steel and aluminium. They're more durable than standard alumina and generate less heat — important for stainless which is heat-sensitive.
