The Importance of Matching Disc Sizes to Your Ryobi Grinder

Corded Ryobi models are also available, and both types have been praised by users for the overall excellent match of grinder to disc tip and overall size. Of course, not just any pairing of grinder and disc will do. Each model of grinder against which I measured the discs is designed to cut and work best with two to three specific whole disc sizes, from 100 mm to the larger 230 mm. A size of disc beyond the upper end of the range the grinder could safely handle meant cutting and grinding while removing the guard to do so, as well as having the potential of the disc spinning at two different speeds.

And if your job requires a smaller disc or a larger one, you’ll also find models made for 100 mm and 230 mm discs.

Recognizing Signs of Wear: The Prelude to Replacement

One likely doesn’t think about it but an expiration date is clearly listed on a grinder disc. There’s a reason for that. The date is very important. We shouldn’t use a disc after it has expired in order to keep ourselves and our machines safe, and for other reasons as well.
