DART Red Ten SS/Inox Abrasive Thin Metal Cutting Disc 300 x 3.0 x 20mm

DART Red Ten stainless steel cutting discs designed for clean, fast cuts through inox and other metals. Manufactured to EN 12413, these 300mm discs reduce burring and heat distortion, making them a solid choice for angle grinders on fabrication and metalwork jobs.
When you need stainless steel cutting discs that actually do the job without leaving a ragged edge or bluing the material, the DART Red Ten SS/Inox range is worth knowing about. These 300 x 3.0 x 20mm abrasive discs are built specifically for cutting stainless steel and inox, manufactured to the European standard EN 12413, which covers safety requirements for bonded abrasive products. That standard matters on site. It means the disc has been produced to a consistent spec, not cobbled together and hoping for the best.
The thin profile is the key feature here. A thinner kerf means less material removed, less friction, and less heat fed back into the workpiece. Heat distortion in stainless steel is a genuine problem: the metal moves, the cut line drifts, and you end up with a finish that needs grinding back before it’s usable. These discs are designed to minimise that. Less heat also means less oxidisation at the cut edge, which matters when appearance or corrosion resistance is part of the spec.
Where DART Red Ten Stainless Steel Cutting Discs Perform
On fabrication benches and site installs alike, these discs suit anyone working regularly with stainless tube, sheet, or bar. Handrail fabricators, kitchen equipment installers, and structural steelwork crews all tend to go through cutting discs at a reasonable rate. The Red Ten’s high cutting speed reduces the time per cut, which adds up when you’re working through a list of pieces. Reduced burring is another practical benefit: cleaner cuts mean less time with a flap disc tidying up the edge afterwards.
At 300mm diameter, these are suited to larger angle grinders and cut-off machines running a 20mm bore. If you’re running smaller 115mm or 125mm grinders day-to-day, DART produce the Red Ten range in those sizes too. Worth making sure your machine matches the disc before you order.
For any trade buyer cutting stainless steel regularly, buying in bulk makes obvious sense. The discs are available individually or in box quantities, and the price per disc drops considerably when you buy a full box. The Red Ten SS/Inox is a no-fuss, reliable disc that does what it says.
Pro Tip: Always use cutting discs rated specifically for stainless steel and inox on stainless work: standard carbon steel discs can contaminate the cut edge with iron particles, which causes rust spots even on grade 304 or 316 stainless.
These 300mm stainless steel cutting discs are used wherever clean, precise cuts through stainless steel or inox are needed. Fabrication shops cutting handrail sections, tube, and sheet are the obvious users. They also see regular use on construction sites for cutting structural stainless fixings, channels, and framing components. Kitchen and catering equipment installers, balustrade contractors, and anyone working with food-grade or marine-grade stainless will find these discs well-suited to the task.

Key Features
- Manufactured to EN 12413
- Reduced burring on cut edges
- Minimised heat distortion

- 300 x 3.0 x 20mm dimensions
- Suitable for stainless steel and inox
Not suitable for: Not suitable for cutting wood, masonry, or general mild steel where a standard cutting disc would be more appropriate. Not designed for use on machines that do not accept 300mm diameter abrasive discs with a 20mm bore.
Fit the disc securely to a compatible angle grinder or cut-off machine, ensuring the bore and guard are correctly matched to 300mm. Check the disc for cracks or damage before each use. Mark your cut line clearly and let the disc do the work, applying steady forward pressure without forcing it.
Keep the disc moving at a consistent pace through the cut. Dwelling in one spot generates heat and can cause discolouration or warping in the stainless. Once the cut is complete, allow the disc and workpiece to cool before handling. Inspect the cut edge for burrs and dress back lightly with a flap disc if required.
- Inspect the disc visually for any cracks, chips, or damage before fitting
- Mount the disc on a compatible 300mm angle grinder or cut-off machine with a 20mm spindle, using the correct guard
- Ensure all safety PPE is in place, including eye protection, gloves, and ear defenders
- Mark the cut line on the stainless steel workpiece clearly
- Start the machine and allow it to reach full speed before bringing the disc to the material
- Apply steady, consistent pressure and move the disc through the cut at an even pace
- Avoid lingering in one spot to reduce heat build-up and prevent discolouration
- Allow the disc and cut edge to cool before handling the workpiece
- Inspect the cut edge and lightly dress any burrs with a flap disc rated for stainless steel
Can these discs be used on mild steel as well as stainless?
Yes, they will cut mild steel, but they are specifically formulated for stainless and inox. For heavy mild steel cutting day in day out, a standard cutting disc would be more economical. Where you are mixing materials on the same job, it is worth keeping stainless-rated discs separate to avoid iron contamination on the stainless cuts.
What machines are these 300mm discs compatible with?
These discs require a machine with a 300mm capacity and a 20mm bore, such as a large angle grinder, cut-off machine, or bench-mounted chop saw rated for abrasive discs. Always check your machine's maximum disc size and speed rating before fitting.
Why does the disc specification matter for stainless steel cutting?
Stainless steel is sensitive to heat and contamination. Discs made to EN 12413 and specifically rated for stainless or inox use bonding agents and abrasive grit that minimise heat transfer and avoid introducing iron particles into the cut. Using a general-purpose disc on stainless can cause edge corrosion and heat warping, which creates extra remedial work.
DART Red Ten SS/Inox cutting discs are bonded abrasive products manufactured to EN 12413, the European standard for safety requirements in this product category. The 300 x 3.0 x 20mm format provides a thin kerf suited to large angle grinders and cut-off machines. The abrasive compound is formulated specifically for stainless steel and inox applications, reducing thermal transfer and edge contamination during the cut.
