Angle Grinders
Angle grinders are versatile tools that can be used for a wide array of tasks, including cutting, grinding, and polishing various materials. Equipped with the right abrasive disc, they can cut through metal, tiles, and bricks. Angle grinders are also used for removing excess material from a piece. They find extensive use in metal fabrication shops, construction sites, and in workshops where metalworking tasks are performed. The ability to switch between multiple types of discs adds to their versatility, making them indispensable in settings that require fast and efficient material removal.
Bench Grinders
Bench grinders are essential tools in any workshop that deals with metal fabrication. Typically mounted on a workbench, these stationary machines are predominantly used for grinding and shaping metal tools and blades. Industries that require precision in sharpening cutting tools like drills, chisels, and knives rely heavily on bench grinders. They usually come with two wheels that vary in grit size for coarse and fine grinding. Bench grinders are also utilized for buffing and polishing objects to achieve a smooth finish, making them valuable in metalworking, jewelry making, and even woodworking for tool maintenance.
Die Grinders (Straight)
Die grinders, specifically straight die grinders, are hand-held power tools used for grinding, sanding, honing, or machining materials (most commonly metal, but also plastic and wood). They excel in detailed and intricate work due to their slim design and ability to use a variety of attachments for different tasks, such as mounted stones or carbide burrs. Straight die grinders are particularly handy in fields where precision metal work is essential, including mold manufacturing, metal fabrication, and automotive repairs. Their maneuverability and compactness make them ideal tools for reaching tight and hard-to-grain areas where larger tools cannot operate effectively.
