- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are disc cutters typically made from?
**A**: Disc cutters are commonly manufactured from high-carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, and tungsten carbide, chosen for durability and cutting performance in industrial applications.

### Q: What is the purpose of cooling/relief holes in disc cutters?
**A**: Cooling/relief holes in disc cutters help dissipate heat during operation, reduce friction, and prevent material buildup, extending tool life and maintaining cutting efficiency.

### Q: How are disc cutters mounted on machinery?
**A**: Disc cutters are mounted via a central mounting bore on a cutterhead, allowing secure attachment and precise rotation for slicing, dicing, or shredding materials in industrial equipment.
