Tool Tuesdays - know your tools! (Angle Grinder)

An angle grinder, also known as a side grinder or disc grinder, is a handheld power tool used for grinding (abrasive cutting) and polishing.

HOW THEY WORK

Angle grinders are available in corded, battery or air-powered models. The angle grinder works by using a small disk or wheel and spinning it at such a high rate, typically between 8000 to 11000 RPM, enabling it to cut, grind and polish. The disks can also come in a variety of different sizes. The angle grinder's head can be replaced when worn and typically feature an adjustable guard with side handle to allow for two-handed operation. Certain angle grinders, depending on their speed range, can be used as sanders, employing a sanding disc with a backing pad or disc.
