Hoof Discs: Fast and Even Trimming With the Angle Grinder

Grinding and cutting discs for the angle grinder in 115, 125 and 127 mm. With these you go through cattle horn quickly and cleanly.

Hoof Discs: Quickly Through Hard Horn

In cattle the angle grinder is the fastest tool for the foot. With the right hoof disc you take surplus horn off evenly, shape the bearing surface cleanly and save yourself a lot of effort. Here you will find grinding and cutting discs in different diameters, grits and designs, to suit your working pace and your herd.

Grinding discs for the bearing surface

The hoof grinding discs come as standard, super and wide, each with tungsten carbide tips and in grit 30 or 40. The coarser grit removes more material in a short time, the finer one runs more calmly and gives you more control near the heel. Matching diameters are 115, 125 and 127 mm, so the disc fits your angle grinder. The IP PHILIPSEN super hoof grinding disc is built for a high rate of removal with a long service life.

Cutting discs and hand tools

Where it comes to targeted shortening, you reach for the Alu Profi hoof cutting disc or the ProTrim with replaceable indexable tips. These discs cut the horn instead of grinding it away and therefore run more quietly. The 90 mm SuperProfi suits tight spots. Alongside them sits the 64 cm hoof side cutter, with which you part hard horn using plenty of leverage.

Frequently asked questions

Which grit should I choose?
Grit 30 removes horn faster and suits hard, overgrown feet. Grit 40 works more finely and gives you more feel as you get closer to the corium. Many farms keep both versions to hand.

Does every disc fit my angle grinder?
Check the diameter and the bore. The usual sizes are 115, 125 and 127 mm with a standard bore. Also check that your machine's permitted speed matches the disc, and always work with the guard fitted.

Grinding or cutting?
Grinding discs shape the bearing surface across its whole area and are standard in cattle. Cutting discs with indexable tips shorten more precisely and run more quietly. In practice the two complement each other very well, depending on the horn condition and your own routine.
