It's been 20+ years since I last used a small angle grinder for small welding jobs. I'm looking to buy one for occasional DIY, but see a wide range of power specs, and a pretty wide range of prices too. My main use is small welding jobs (furniture, repairing a fence, etc) and removing rust before painting, e.g. a metal fence. Any advice would be appreciated!
Size: 115 (4.5") vs 125 mm (5") seems like a small difference, but even a single manufacturer (Bosch) offers a bunch of versions in each size. Does it matter? Are disks more readily available in one of those sizes?
Power/amps: how much do I need?
Variable speed: how useful is this feature? Saw some claims that running at low speed can lead to burnout due to insufficient cooling? Intuitively, I like the idea of being able to drop the speed down for say removing rust, but maybe it's not necessary?
Anything else to look for?
Would be good if it could be shipped to europe
