What Are Abrasive Discs Used For?

Abrasive discs are used in metal fabrication, engineering workshops, construction and industrial environments. They are designed for cutting, grinding, deburring, polishing and surface finishing on materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, stone and more.
