Abrasive Discs, Cutting Shapes Explained

All of our abrasive discs use a code to describe their cutting shapes. Each size and hole pattern has a different code. This code is then used as the last element of the Cibo part number. This system can be confusing however when you don't know what you are looking at. Use this blog to help determine what size and pattern you are after from your abrasive discs.

What are the main cutting shapes?

The cutting shape of discs varies depending on the machine backing pad that you wish to attach the discs to. Certain machines need a lot of holes punched into the abrasive discs, while others do not require any at all. Some have a diameter of 115mm, others 600mm.

To simplify the selection process bellow are on overview of the main cutting forms that are part of Cibo’s standard range. The discs are categorised by these parameters:

  • discs with perforations
  • pre-perforated discs
  • discs without holes or centre holes
  • discs with centre holes
  • discs with centre holes and central slots
