FAQs
Is this disc compatible with all angle grinders?
It fits all standard angle grinders that accept a 115mm disc with a 22.23mm bore.
Can I use this on stainless steel?
Yes, it is suitable for use on stainless steel, as well as aluminium and carbon steel.
What is the primary use of G60 grit?
G60 is a medium-coarse grit primarily used for efficient stock removal and initial grinding.
How do I know when the disc needs replacing?
Replace the disc when the abrasive flaps have worn down significantly or if you notice any cracks in the fibreglass backing.
Can I use this to sharpen tools?
While it can be used for rough shaping, it is generally too coarse for precision edge sharpening.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration during use
Ensure the disc is properly centered on the spindle and the locking nut is tightened securely.
Disc is wearing out faster than expected
Reduce the downward pressure applied to the grinder; let the abrasive grains do the work to prevent overheating.
Surface finish is too rough
The G60 grit is coarse; switch to a higher grit (e.g., G80 or G120) if a smoother finish is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Bosch X451, ensure your angle grinder is disconnected from the power source. Remove the locking nut from the grinder spindle, place the flap disc onto the spindle with the backing facing the machine, and re-secure the locking nut firmly. Always use the appropriate guard provided with your angle grinder. For care, keep the discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage to the abrasive grains. Inspect the disc before every use for cracks or signs of wear, and replace it immediately if the flaps appear damaged or the backing is compromised.
