Angle Grinder

ANGLE GRINDER
 
What this tool is primarily used for:
 
Probably the most versatile tool you will own. The Angle Grinder can be used for removing rust, grinding excess slag, or grinding down weld beads. Wire wheels, cutting wheels, sanding discs and flap wheels can all be attached to the grinder for different applications.
Available in two sizes, 115mm & 230mm, size refers to the disc diameter. The smaller grinder can easily cope with 99% of your tasks. The only exception will be if you need a deeper cut, as the depth of the cut is restricted to under half the disc diameter.
Always use the correct disc for the job your doing, failure to do this can cause the disc to shatter.
