An angle grinder is a versatile power tool that can significantly broaden your home DIY project and repair capabilities. Ideal for any metal surface prep, it can deburr sharp metal edges, level out rough welds, remove rust, paint and other coatings. It can also be used as a cutting tool for many different materials by using different types of grinding discs and wheels. This includes most metals including sheet metal, steel, rebar, pipes, and even iron. For masonry projects, a disc grinder can easily cut through concrete, cement, brick, tile, and stone. You can also insert a sanding disc to smooth out wood and plastic, or a polishing wheel to buff out surfaces. Cordless grinders aren’t quite as powerful as corded grinders, but they give you the freedom to work in areas where no power source is available.
A bench grinder, also known as a pedestal grinder, is a stationary vs. mobile grinder tool. It includes both a coarse grinding wheel and a fine grinding wheel, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Bench grinders are excellent at high-precision work such as sharpening drill bits, chisels, planer blades, lawn mower blades, knives, and other cutting tools. They can also be used for polishing and buffing with the appropriate grinder wheel attachments.
