Angle Grinder Deals & Offers

I think all angle grinders should have variable speed. I have an el cheapo black and decker cordless & whilst it's not variable the slower speed is better than a bog standard mains grinder for precise stuff like cutting thread bar.

This is the braked version which is a lot nicer to use than the unbraked

I cable tie my spanner to the cable.... Near the plug, as it forces you to unplug it when faffing with a disk.

Yea, was only hand tight, I lost my tightening tool lol

I suspect you over tightened it.... Should only be finger tight ! Happy to hear the jewels survived (cheeky)

Thank you, that makes sense. I have only used cutting disks before. Very good to know, thank you. Youch.

On a grinder there are two steel disks (washers if you like) that clamp a grinding disk... One of these has a step in it that fits into the disk hole to locate it. As flap wheels are a lot thinner at the mounting, it will just be free to spin on that step... So we invert the washer to properly clamp the flap wheel !

I decided against buying it in the end, but thanks for the advice going forward

Aldi Ferrex 1200w maybe? They're only 25 quid.

Be prepared for a massive amount of dust, especially if lime mortar. Neighbours will not be impressed. I covered a whole street with a thick layer of dust/ grit. Took some abuse for that, deservedly. so now...... I'd recommend a 120v grinder ( same price ranges but need a transformer) and wetting down as you go. Neighbour friendly but the grinder doesn't last long with damp grit getting inside. Get a Toolstation Hitachi and return it once the damp grit ruins it......

Bought this the last time it was on offer (£28) and I've used it loads with no issues. I bought some thin metal cutting discs and cut metal panels, cut nails off wood and shaped some roofing tiles using the included blades. Ideal for DIY purposes.

Thinking of doing some repointing with this? Basically the front of my end terrace house so not a massive area would this be enough?

Agree, if you're taking longer than 30 sec you need to go back to school!!

I'd personally buy a mains instead of this if need a grinder and batteries. 2ah on a brushed grinder will not get you far. Even with a 6ah Brushless Makita, this is the tool that eats the most battery life.

All you need is a jack and you have a handy little business
