Working pressureWe advise against using too high pressure when using fibre discs. This causes heat generation, burnt areas and premature wear.Prevent heat generationBy moving the disc smoothly back and forth you can considerably diminish the risk of burnt areasMaximum and advised speedsThe maximum speed for all Cibo fibre discs is 80 m/s. The ideal circumferential speed depends on the material to be worked. It is always best to work at speeds lower than 60 m/s. With silicon carbide discs, it is better to set the speeds based on the material you want to work. Please note, these speeds are not absolute, they are only a guideline.

Hard back-up pad – High performance FIHThis high- performance back-up pad guarantees a hard and stable contact at all times due to its unique architecture. The ingenious composition of the disc ensures extreme heat resistance. The ribs preventing heat build-up ensure a cooler grinding process, whereby the back-up pad is not distorted under the influence of heat generation. Please use a high-performance back-up pad up to grit 60 to make optimal use of the fibre disc’s capabilities. Tips & Tricks: Grit choice and back-up padsFor a rapid, aggressive removal of material, your best option is a grit type between 16 and 50. A hard back-up pad is used for working flat surfaces. This also guarantees rapid removal of material. In order to grind bent and round shapes, and in order to achieve a better level of finish, your best option is a flexible back-up pad.

Please use a high-performance back-up pad up to grit 60 to make optimal use of the fibre disc’s capabilities. Tips & Tricks: Grit choice and back-up padsFor a rapid, aggressive removal of material, your best option is a grit type between 16 and 50. A hard back-up pad is used for working flat surfaces. This also guarantees rapid removal of material. In order to grind bent and round shapes, and in order to achieve a better level of finish, your best option is a flexible back-up pad.

The ideal circumferential speed depends on the material to be worked. It is always best to work at speeds lower than 60 m/s. With silicon carbide discs, it is better to set the speeds based on the material you want to work. Please note, these speeds are not absolute, they are only a guideline.
