Quality:
With the RS580 EXTENDED, users get the best RHODIUS tool in its category. RHODIUS TOPline products represent a maximum level of performance and quality.

Industries:
This grinding disc is the preferred choice for tasks in metalwork shops, in steelwork and shipyards, and in tank, plant and pipeline construction.

Machine suitability:
The RHODIUS RS580 EXTENDED is a grinding disc (shape 27) for angle grinders in any performance class, including high-frequency (HF) machines and air grinders.

Material suitability:
The RHODIUS RS580 EXTENDED has been specifically designed for processing stainless steel (SST, Inox), e.g. 1.4031 (X5CrNi18-10 or 304), steel (carbon steel – also termed structural steel, St37, S235JR or 1.0037) and cast steel. The RS580 EXTENDED grinding disc is an excellent choice for chamfering, welding seam preparation, for finishing work on welding seams and for the fettling or smoothing of cast parts.

Structure and production:
The disc is manufactured to EN 12413, safety-tested and certified to oSa standards. Every thousandth disc undergoes safety testing at almost double the normal working speed. The product features high-quality, extremely aggressive ceramic grain (sintered corundum) and a matching phenol resin formulation, and is reinforced by three full-coverage glass cloth layers plus an extra, smaller flange cloth. This grinding disc therefore comfortably exceeds the side load criterion of 290 N required by safety regulations.

Applications:
The RS580 EXTENDED offers an impressive and aggressive level of stock removal performance combined with a long lifetime. Thanks to its topcoat of fine grain, this disc keeps chipping to a minimum.

Dimensions:
The RS580 EXTENDED grinding disc has a disc width of 7.0 mm, and is available in diameters from 115 mm to 230 mm.

Notice:
The RHODIUS grinding discs for stainless steel are iron- and sulphur-free. However, to avoid rusting you should never change from normal steel back to stainless steel with the same abrasive disc.
