High Speed Disc for Angle Grinders

August Rüggeberg GmbH & Co. KG, PFERD-Werkzeuge, Marienheide/Germany PFERD has launched Alumaster® - a High Speed Disc for angle grinders, which sets new benchmarks for coarse stock removal on aluminium materials. Main advantage is extremely high stock removal and at the same time maximum safety - certainly more stock removal. Designed for processing aluminium materials, it has very impressive features: its high performance and safety. The Alumaster can definitely be called an innovation, as there has not been a tool for angle grinders up to now which can compare with it in terms of construction, geometry and especially performance. The Alumaster consists of ten specially developed tungsten carbide cutting inserts, which are fixed to a very light, but extremely robust GRP disc. Weighing approximately 228 grams, the high speed disc is only slightly heavier than a reinforced grinding wheel. The geometry of the disc and the possibility of turning and eventually replacing the cutting inserts when they are worn allow the very long and cost-effective use of this unique and at the same time safe solution for processing aluminium and prevent the tool from clogging up. The Alumaster can be used for working on butt and fillet welds as well as on edges, e.g., for chamfering and modifying geometries. The Alumaster does not generate hazardous or explosive dust, but significantly larger chips, which are neither respirable nor explosive. Therefore, the Alumaster can be used in almost any location that is even without an extractor unit. The new high speed disc is a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to reinforced grinding wheels and flap wheels and can be used on air angle grinders with a power output of at least 1,000 watts or electric angle grinders with a nominal power of at least 1,400 watts. The innovative cut geometry with integrated depth gauge is extremely safe and makes using the Alumaster simple and easy to control. The high speed disc Alumaster received the EISEN 2016 Innovation Award of the International Hardware Fair Cologne. PFERD Ergonomics® recommends the Alumaster high speed disc as an innovative tool solution for processing aluminium as it does not generate hazardous or explosive dust. PFERD Efficiency®recommends the Alumaster high speed disc for long, resource-saving work, with minimal effort and perfect results in the shortest possible time.
