About separating and cut-off discs
A cutting-off wheel is a thin wheel used for cutting, cutting off, grooving and slotting. OSHA notes that cutting-off wheels may be steel centred, diamond abrasive or organic bonded abrasive.
The FDA groups abrasive discs, abrasive points, polishing strips and polishing wheels as abrasive devices, Class I (21 CFR 872.6010): they remove excess restorative material and smooth rough surfaces, on a shank held by a handpiece.
OSHA's general-industry rules define a disc wheel as a rotating disc faced with abrasive and used on its side.
How the types on this shelf differ
- Separating & Cut-Off Discs — A thin wheel for cutting, where an abrasive disc works on its side.
- Abrasive Discs — Grinds and smooths with its face.
- Polishing Discs — The finer steps of the same series.
- Buffing Wheels — Carries the polishing agent to the work.
- Grinding Wheels — The coarse step: it shapes the work and removes excess material.
- Flexible Silicone Polishers — The abrasive is embedded in a flexible silicone body.
- Polishing Wheels — A wheel for the smoothing steps that follow grinding.
What to look at when choosing a disc
Mandrel and bore: ISO 13295 covers the mandrels that carry discs and polishers. ISO 10323 sets the bore diameters that make discs and mandrels interchangeable.
Sequence: a review describes polishing in three stages, coarse finishing, intermediate polishing and final polishing. Coarse tools shape the work and remove excess material; medium ones smooth out the grooves and scratches the coarse ones leave.
Speed: OSHA's abrasive-wheel rule has the spindle speed checked against the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel.
Reuse: the CDC states that burs, polishing points and rag wheels used on contaminated appliances or prostheses should be heat-sterilised, disinfected between patients, or discarded.
