Even though the name of this tool refers only to grinding, an angle grinder can do more than that. Depending on the blade or other attachment you use, it can cut, polish, sharpen, buff or even clean surfaces. An angle grinder is a versatile tool that every DIY-fan should have in the garage. You can use this tool on many different materials such as metals, stone, tile, wood or brick. Using an angle grinder is quite easy, although you need to follow a few safety rules. First of all, you should make sure that you attached the grinder properly and the cable is behind you (otherwise you can cut it by accident). Never use your angle grinder on a wet surface or when it\u2019s raining. You should also take care of your own safety \u2013 wear protective gloves and safety glasses to protect your eyes from sparks and tiny fragments of metals or other materials you are working on. Remove your earphones or necklaces, which can easily get caught between the angle grinder. Remember that every angle grinder produces sparks that can cause fire, when they land on inflammable materials like paper, gasoline, oil etc. Make sure that you remove all of these objects from your working area. Your working space should be clean and safe \u2013 it will surely increase your work productivity, and you will avoid unwanted accidents. Another important question that must be answered is: how to choose a reliable angle grinder? There are at least three things that you should consider before you buy your new tool. Think about the power source that suits you most. There are corded, cordless and pneumatic angle grinders. If you don\u2019t need your angle grinder in a professional auto repair shop, you should rather consider a standard corded or cordless tool. Another thing is the disc size. Once again \u2013 if you don\u2019t need a professional angle grinder for your auto repair shop, there is no need to choose large tools. The most popular disc size is 4-1\/2 inch. The last thing is the speed. Read the information about rotations per minute. Smaller angle grinders have between 5,000 and 11,000 rpm.
