Is it possible to use an angle grinder as a sander?
What can you attach to an angle grinder?
Is it possible to use a wood blade on an angle grinder?
Bought a right angle die grinder to do some precision sanding work that was a bit too demanding for my Dremel. I found this nifty 2" sanding backing pad attachment at Harbor Freight. They advertise it as being able to work with right angle die grinders. Well how in the heck am I supposed to attach this to my tool? Surely they don't intend for me to shove those 1/4-20 threads into the collet and tighten it down. That seems dumb, plus they only stick out 3/8".
Anybody know of a mandrel I could thread onto this doohickey? Thanks
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.
Hello Tool fiends.
I need to do a bit of sanding for a couple of wood working projects. I am a sparky in Australia and already own about 10 skins for the 18V makita range.
I am wondering if I am better off getting a sanding pad attachment for the angle grinder I already own, or if I should fork out the money for an orbital sander? I would get a corded one as I don't need to use it often or outside the home.
I have an oscillating multi tool which I have used for sanding but it's a bit too slow for what I need.
Main question is angle grinder hook and loop sanding pads ( would cost me around 50 Au$) or corded orbital sander ( maybe 150Au$ with the discs) for small woodworking projects.
I believe the guard can be removed on the cordless 115mm.
Obviously it will be super aggressive.
Any other tips? For example any specific type of attachment?
