  • Publication number: 20160229024
    Abstract: A resin-bonded grinding disk for use on a hand-held power tool includes a clamping flange. The resin-bonded grinding disk includes a top side, an underside arranged opposite to the top side, a grinding disk surface area, a central cutout configured to hold the grinding disk in the clamping flange, a first reinforcement fabric arranged on the top side, and a second reinforcement fabric arranged on the underside. The first reinforcement fabric comprises a first reinforcement fabric surface area which substantially corresponds to the grinding disk surface area. The second reinforcement fabric comprises a second reinforcement fabric surface area which is smaller than the grinding disk surface area.
