What Are Angle Grinders Used For?
An angle grinder is an extremely versatile tool designed for grinding, cutting, sanding and polishing several materials, including metal and wood.
- Grinding: Angle grinders are great for grinding down excess material or sharp edges. These metal grinder tools are often used to remove waste metal from welded joints, and can even smooth rough edges on masonry.
- Cutting: Grinder tools can make smooth and precise cuts in metal, masonry and ceramics. Small angle grinders are easier to handle than saws and can often cut materials in place.
- Sanding: A large angle grinder can sand medium-sized areas of stone or metal when fitted with a sanding disc, similar to sheet sandersand orbital sanders.
- Polishing:Grinders are ideal for polishing up surfaces thanks to their high-speed revolutions.
Essential Features of Electric Angle Grinder Tools
Not all angle grinder tools are the same, and your intended use may lead you to look for specific features when purchasing an angle grinder. From the disc diameter and grinder speed to the power source and motor design, learn more about specific angle grinder features to keep an eye on.
Grinder Disc Diameter
Larger discs can make deeper cuts, while smaller discs can provide more accurate grinding and polishing performance. We carry angle grinders with discs from 4 inches up to 9 inches to suit both delicate and heavy-duty tasks.
Angle Grinder Tool Speed
Faster grinder rotation speeds mean easier cutting, while slower speeds help you achieve more precise and delicate control. We stock grinders with enough RPMs to do DIY and professional jobs, and variable-speed models are available to offer the best of both worlds.
Electric Corded and Cordless Angle Grinders
Corded electric angle grinders plug directly into an outlet for a consistent source of power, while cordless battery-powered angle grinders running on upwards of 18V are more portable. With many cordless and corded angle grinders available, find grinder tools with enough amp ratings to let you choose the right amount of power to get your job done safely, efficiently and quickly.
Brushed and Brushless Grinder Designs
Angle grinders with brushed motors offer an economical design that's suitable for home use or occasional heavy-duty work. Brushless grinders last longer without repair and are usually more powerful, making them a top choice for professionals.
Angle Grinder Tool Safety Precautions
As with any power tool, safety is of the utmost importance. Look for battery-powered and electric grinder tools with:
- Adjustable guards to protect against sparks and debris
- Anti-vibration design for comfortable use over long periods
- Paddle switches to force two-handed operation
- Anti-kickback function to protect against trapped grinder blades
- Slow-start motor to gradually increase rotation speed, particularly useful for preventing twisting on large, powerful angle grinders
