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. Although developed originally as tools for rigid abrasive discs, the availability of an interchangeable power source has encouraged their use with a wide variety of cutters and attachments.Angle grinders can be powered by an electric motor or compressed air. The motor drives a geared head at a right-angle on which is mounted an abrasive disc or a thinner cut-off disc, either of which can be replaced when worn. Angle grinders typically have an adjustable guard and a side-handle 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. The backing system is typically made of hard plastic, phenolic resin, or medium-hard rubber depending on the amount of flexibility desired.
Angle grinders are standard equipment in metal fabrication shops and on construction sites. They are also common in machine shops, along with die grinders and bench grinders.

Hi all
Looking for a new grinder blade to lower an area of concrete floor before leveling it out. What reasonably priced blades do others use. 115 mm blade size.
Cheers.
Alan from ATS sent me a new blade to try.
I've only had the chance to try it on ceramic tiles but have to test it on natural stone & quartz to see how it cuts.
On the ceramic it leaves a great cut, I've a slight bit of wobble in my grinder but I think this is the best blade I've used from ATS to...

My trusted Bosch angle grinder has finally died on me. It's lasted me an age and took on everything I've thrown at it. Time for a new one.
Can anyone recommend a good one? Which one are you using and how do you find it?
So I managed to source one of these from Australia through a friend. Thought it worth a punt for $20 plus postage, it's arrived needing a 100mm or 4" blade. Any ideas where I can source a suitable blade for a 100mm grinder. Cheers. D
Hello All.
I am looking to buy a dewalt angle grinder and blade and just wanted to find out peoples advice/recommendations from experience which which would be the best to spend my hard earned cash on.
Any advice would be great.
I'm gonna give the grinder a go, i use it on a lot of stone tiles but want to try it out on some porcelain tiles, can some one link me up to a good blade 115m that's not gonna chip too much
I've always used a flat bed electric cutter for cuts that need it or tiles that need it, always with water. I hear a lot of people saying they don't use a wet cutter. Do some of you use a grinder for all cuts that need it? Even on porcelain?
Hi All
As it's the New Year I fancy a new toy,as in a cordless grinder.
Sense tells me to keep with Makita as I already have the Makita 18v impact driver and an 18v drill with batteries and charger,but getting a bare bodied grinder with a accompanying box seems like a mission impossible.
Has...
Afternoon all,
Just wondering whether anyone has any advice on cutting blades for 4.5" grinders?
I've mainly used the Pro-Gres ones for porcelains which seem ok but with a certain degree of chipping.
Any thoughts?
Saturday afternoon and only 3 more tiles to cut (900x450 tough porcs). My Makita grinder came to a halt.
I rang the builder to find if anyone was near me, but it was 15:30 and nobody in the area. So I drove the 1hour round trip back home to pick up an old corded one to finish the job.
I...
