Choose the Best Angle Grinder for Your Projects

There are two main types of angle grinders, either a sliding switch or a paddle (or trigger) switch. 

For more information, please visit our website.

Slide switches are like the standard on/off switch and are located on the top or side of the tool. Moving the switch to the &#;On&#; setting turns the power on to the grinder and remains running until the switch is returned to the &#;Off&#; setting. 

Paddle switches (or trigger switches) are located along the handle of your grinder. Depressing the paddle will turn the grinder on until the switch is released, stopping the motor and disc instantly.

A majority of users prefer the paddle switch for its safety and control features. For example, if you drop your paddle switch grinder, the disc stops immediately, avoiding potential damage to the work material or yourself. One drawback is having to hold the grinder in unusual positions for long periods of time. Keeping the paddle pressed while using welder&#;s gloves can be an issue also.

Slide switches don&#;t have the trigger for power, so the grinder is running constantly. This can be a concern if the tool is dropped.

Silicon Carbide Grinding Discs

These discs are purpose made for the shaping of metals. They also allow for the efficient removal of materials and prevention of surface damage. Use of the grinding discs is expected to minimise the need for subsequent processing, allowing preparation time to be saved.

Cutoff Grinding Discs

These discs are purpose made to cut hard items and materials such as rods, bolts, rebars, and metal piping.

Sanding Pads and Discs

Sanding pads allow for the efficient removal of old paint in the process of surface preparation. They are also suitable for coarse and fine sanding.

Grinding Wheels and Discs

The grinding wheel is an expandable wheel, made from an abrasive compound. It allows for a variety of grinding and abrasion functions. Grinding wheels and other forms of bonded abrasives have two key features &#; the abrasive grains which allow for efficient cutting, and the bond which combines and supports the grains during the cutting process.

Grinding discs are suitable for metal and stone applications across a range of machine sizes. The main use of such discs is in the removal of materials. However, they can also be used for the finishing and preparation of stone and metal surfaces.

Wire Brush Wheels

These wheels allow for the effective removal of paint and rust. They also enable the removal of burrs from rough-cut metal surfaces.

Diamond Cutting Wheels and Discs

These wheels and discs are particularly suitable for the cutting of concrete, tile, masonry, and granite. However, it is important to make the appropriate selection and use of the cutting blade in accordance with the technique. There are diamond blades suitable for dry and wet cutting.

Aluminium Oxide Grinding Wheels

These oxide-based wheels are suitable for a wide range of applications, including woodworking and the cutting of crumbly materials like cutting boards.

Flap Discs and Wheels

The flap disc performs a similar function to the wire brush yet features flaps rather than wires. This allows for the effective combination of weld beads with the rest of the metal.
