What's inside: from electrocorundum to ceramic corundum
The main difference between the series is the purity and type of abrasive grain. The higher the percentage of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), the harder, sharper and more durable the grain.
Standard — Household series
90–92% Al₂O₃— Ordinary purity electrocorundum
Classic abrasive grain for universal tasks. The optimal choice for small jobs and home use.
- Low cost of the circle
- Stable performance on most steels
- Price/performance balance
Profi — Professional series
95–96% Al₂O₃— Ceramic coated
Grain of increased purity. Ceramic coating improves grain retention in the bundle and increases service life. Optimized bundle formula.
- 5 times longer life
- +30% to cutting speed
- Less overheating of the material
Extreme — Industrial Series
97–98% Al₂O₃— White oxide + ceramic corundum
High-purity abrasive with ceramic structure. Self-sharpening effect maintains cutting ability throughout service life. Special bond with reinforcing additives.
- 7 times longer life
- +50% to cutting speed
- Self-sharpening effect
- Minimal overheating
Test on an automatic machine: cutting to complete wear
All tests were conducted on an automatic WE-TM-125mm (1000 W) machine without human intervention. Circles 125x1.0x22.23 mm cut steel reinforcement A500 ⌀14 mm until complete wear.
Test video:
▶ Standard 21 cuts ▶ Profi 42 cuts ▶ Extreme 70 cuts
Number of cuts until complete wear
| Indicator | Standard | Profi | Extreme | Profi vs Std | Extr vs Std |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of cuts | 21 | 42 | 70 | ×2,0 | ×3,3 |
| One cut time | 4.55 sec | 4.04 sec | 3.76 sec | −11% | −17% |
| Retail price, UAH | 23,00 | 25,00 | 31,00 | +9% | +35% |
| Cost of 1 cut (retail) | 1.10 UAH | 0.60 UAH | 0.44 UAH | −46% | −60% |
| Wholesale price, UAH | 16,26 | 17,34 | 22,20 | +7% | +37% |
| Cost of 1 cut (wholesale) | 0.77 UAH | 0.41 UAH | 0.32 UAH | −47% | −59% |
Cost of one cut - which one is more profitable?
The main indicator of the economic efficiency of an abrasive wheel is not its price per piece, but the cost of one cut. The more cuts the wheel makes, the lower the cost of each.
The more expensive wheel costs less per cut. Extreme costs 35% more than Standard, but the cost of each cut is 60% lower. And Profi, with a price difference of only 9%, gives twice as many cuts - the best price/resource balance in the line.
Standard: 210 ÷ 21 = 10 rounds × 23 UAH = 230 UAH, plus 9 round replacements.
Profi: 210 ÷ 42 = 5 circles × 25 UAH = 125 UAH, plus 4 circle replacements. Savings 105 UAH (46%).
Extreme: 210 ÷ 70 = 3 circles × 31 UAH = 93 UAH, plus 2 circle replacements. Savings 137 UAH (60%).
In addition to saving money, you spend less time changing wheels and make each cut faster: Profi by 11%, Extreme by 17%.
Series comparison: Standard vs Profi vs Extreme
Independent testing with European brands
We purchased wheels from leading global manufacturers at the INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR ITALY in Milan and tested them on the same automatic machine. 19 brands, identical conditions, objective results.
TOP-10 by cutting coefficient (30 cuts, A500 steel ⌀14 mm)
NovoAbrasive Extreme Ceramic took 1st place, sharing the lead with the German Pferd SG, one of the most famous premium brands in Europe. Some well-known brands (Bosch Pro, Stanley Fatmax) showed significantly lower results, which emphasizes the objectivity of the testing.
