Metabo Heavy Duty Angle Grinder 602174610

Angle grinders may be used for removing excess material from a piece.

There are many different kinds of discs that are used for various materials and tasks, such as cut-off discs (diamond blade), abrasive grinding discs, grinding stones, sanding discs, wire brush wheels and polishing pads.

The angle grinder has large bearings to counter side forces generated during cutting, unlike a power drill, where the force is axial.
