How Does an Angle Grinder Work?
An angle grinder works by rotating a disc at very high speeds. Depending on the type of disc used, it can grind, cut, polish or sand.
How to Choose an Angle Grinder?
The most important factor is the type of tasks you'll be using it for. This will influence the size of the angle grinder you buy, its power rating, how portable it is and how easy it is to manoeuvre. For example, a big angle grinder takes bigger discs to make deeper cuts than a smaller one. A high-powered angle grinder is needed for working on dense materials. And it's easier to work up a ladder with a cordless angle grinder than a corded one.
Just got it a couple days ago and was wondering what yall run on this nifty little guy. What works better/worse than expected. Will mostly be cleaning grimy/rusty mating surfaces, removing old gasket material, etc but any and all use cases or ideas welcome.
I picked up my first angle grinder. A Milwaukee 18v 4.5-5” unit (#2880 -https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2880-20). What basic discs and accessories should I have to start? I’m more looking for type of accessory (cutting disc, cup brush, etc.) but also welcome brand recommendations. A neighbor swears but the cubitrons for example.
