MPN: 19073

Barcode: 5028734190731

Weight: 0.09kg

Overview:

The Blue Spot Tools 138-piece rotary accessory set covers cutting, sanding, and finishing tasks. It includes two types of resinoid cutting discs and two grits of sandpaper discs. It fits most rotary tools and suits a wide range of craft and hobby projects.

Cutting discs in this kit use a resinoid construction, bonding abrasive grains for high-speed cutting action. Two disc thicknesses give you options across different cutting tasks. The kit includes 66 cutting discs in total - 36 at 0.6mm and 30 at 0.8mm.

Sandpaper discs cover the sanding and finishing side, with 72 pieces across two grits. The 180 grit discs handle initial surface preparation, while the 220 grit discs deliver a finer finish. Together, they suit a progressive sanding sequence on small workpieces.

What's Included

• Resinoid Cutting Discs:
  • 36 x 0.6mm thick
  • 30 x 0.8mm thick
• Sandpaper Discs:
  • 36 x 180 grit
  • 36 x 220 grit

Key Features and Benefits

• Cross-Brand Compatibility: Fits most rotary tools, so you are not restricted to a specific brand.
• Cutting Disc Options: Two different disc thicknesses let you match the cut to the job at hand.
• Resinoid Construction: Cutting discs use a resin-bonded abrasive construction suited to the high speeds of rotary tools.
• Progressive Sanding Range: Two sanding disc grits support a sanding sequence from initial surface preparation through to a smooth finish.

Specs & Attributes

• Total Pieces: 138
• Disc Type: Resinoid (cutting discs)
• Compatible With: Most rotary tools
• Weight: 0.09kg

Typical Applications

• Cutting thin stock during craft and hobby work
• Trimming and deburring components in small-scale projects
• Surface preparation before applying a paint or finish coat
• Smoothing rough edges on small workpieces
• Progressive surface sanding from initial preparation to final finish
• Finishing detailed craft work using the fine grit discs

How to Use

• Select Your Disc: Choose a cutting disc for cutting tasks, or a sanding disc for smoothing and finishing work.

• Fit the Disc: Attach the selected disc to your rotary tool's mandrel following the tool manufacturer's instructions.

• Adjust Tool Speed: Set your rotary tool to an appropriate speed for the disc type and material.

• Apply Light Pressure: Hold the tool steadily and guide it using light, consistent pressure. Let the disc do the work.

• Progress Through Grits: When sanding, start with the 180 grit disc and move to the 220 grit disc for a progressively smoother result.

• Store Carefully: Keep unused discs dry and away from moisture when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What are resinoid cutting discs?
  Resinoid cutting discs are abrasive wheels that bond abrasive grains together using a resin binder. They cut through materials by high-speed abrasion as the disc rotates against the workpiece.

• What is the difference between 180 grit and 220 grit sanding discs?
  In standard abrasive grading, 180 grit is classed as Fine and 220 grit as Very Fine. The 180 grit disc removes more material and suits initial surface preparation. The 220 grit disc leaves a smoother result for final sanding passes.

• What materials can rotary tool cutting discs cut?
  Resinoid cutting discs for rotary tools are commonly used to cut thin metals, plastics, and similar materials. The specific materials a disc is suited to depend on its abrasive grain formulation and the tool's working speed.

• What is the difference between a thinner and a thicker rotary cutting disc?
  Thinner cutting discs create less friction per pass, which produces a faster and cooler cut. Thicker discs are more resistant to flexing during use. The trade-off is that thinner discs typically have a shorter working life than thicker ones.

• What safety precautions should I take when using rotary cutting discs?
  Always wear safety glasses and a dust mask when using cutting discs on a rotary tool. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting, and apply light, steady pressure rather than forcing the disc through the material.

Summary

Blue Spot Tools' 138-piece rotary accessory set includes 66 resinoid cutting discs and 72 sandpaper discs for cutting, sanding, and finishing tasks. Two disc thicknesses and two sanding grits let you work through different stages of a project. The set fits most rotary tools, making it straightforward to add to an existing setup.
