worgeordie Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Always check that its turned off BEFORE you plug it in, had some workers in our house doing repairs and i plugged in their angle grinder to do a little job, and they had left it turned on, it took off from the bench. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro welders on a forum I frequent recommend Pferd, Klingspor, Walter, Metabo and Norton more than any others. But it depends on the type (grinding/cutoff/flap) and the particular abrasive (such as zirconia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 While glasses and whatnot are great, it's best to not have your face in same plane as the wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mask, no glasses, no nothing. From that time on, I deeply respect such machines. And so you should ! Always use those protective Glasses. There are many " Discs " for use with Angle Grinders They all have different characteristics, such as Grit size, density, bonding and actual Disc makeup structure, and most important - uses. A grinding disc is not just a grinding disc. These Discs are specifically designed to " Wear " and expose fresh new cutting medium when in use. Its not just the Hot metal that is a danger, and thats what injured the Guy I spoke about in an earlier post - the Grit ( Non magnetic ) It may only be small, but travelling at hyper speed will do a lot of damage Edited October 5, 2020 by Cake Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grinding disc is not just a grinding disc. I chose the cheapest from Lazada, 120bht for 25 disks, and am happy with my choice. They're for cutting 2.5mm (box) steel.
