What to Consider When Buying an Angle Grinder

Not all grinding tools are the same – angle grinders can differ significantly in features and price. To make the right choice, it’s essential to know what to look for in a cutting grinder. In the following guide, we’ll show you the key features to consider when purchasing an angle grinder and which aspects are particularly important for your projects.

Maximum Efficiency

With an angle grinder, you can handle grinding, cutting, and roughing tasks on metal, iron, and stone in no time. Some of the cordless angle grinders in the Einhell range are equipped with a brushless motor, offering greater performance and a longer lifespan compared to brushed motors. Our selection includes angle grinders with cutting depths ranging from 28 to 70 mm and disc diameters between 115 and 230 mm. The larger the disc, the deeper the cuts you can make. Whether you're cutting stone or metal, a powerful angle grinder combined with a high-quality cutting disc allows you to work on nearly any material with ease. Another important factor to consider is the no-load speed, which indicates how fast the cutting or grinding disc can rotate. This directly impacts how efficiently material is removed and how smoothly your projects progress.

Optimal Handling

An angle grinder should not only be powerful but also comfortable and easy to handle. Einhell angle grinders offer practical features to ensure a smooth and efficient workflow. One of the most convenient tools is the Quick Fix Nut, which allows you to change grinding or cutting discs tool-free and in seconds. To give you full control at all times, our angle grinders come with a flexibly adjustable auxiliary handle, which you can position to suit your working style. Models with integrated speed control allow you to adjust the rotation speed to perfectly match the material you're working with. For longer tasks, the continuous operation lock on some models helps reduce fatigue by allowing you to keep the grinder running without holding down the switch. All these features make Einhell angle grinders versatile and comfortable tools that make any project easier!

High-Quality Design

An angle grinder should not only be powerful but also thoughtfully designed to ensure precise and safe operation. A compact build and lightweight design are key factors, especially for longer tasks to avoid straining your wrist. At Einhell, we use robust materials to ensure durability, such as an aluminium gear housing that withstands even the toughest jobs. Another key feature is the soft start function, which allows the grinder to start smoothly, protecting both the motor and gearbox from unnecessary wear. Whether you’re a professional or a DIY enthusiast, high-quality craftsmanship, long service life, and smart features make Einhell angle grinders reliable tools for every project!

Maximum Safety

An angle grinder is one of the most powerful tools in any workshop, making safe operation all the more important. Injuries can be effectively prevented through smart safety features. The quick-adjust disc guard ensures that sparks and debris are reliably directed away from your body and can be easily adjusted to the working position in no time. For additional protection, a removable cutting guard is also included. To prevent the motor from overheating, the overload protection automatically shuts off the tool when it’s under excessive strain. Another crucial feature is the restart protection, which ensures that the grinder won’t restart unexpectedly after a power interruption. With these safety features, you can work confidently and comfortably—making Einhell angle grinders both powerful and safe companions for any project.

Tips for how to get the most out of your angle grinder

Work safely and securely

Using an angle grinder isn’t without risk, so it’s crucial to approach the workbench well-protected. Whether cutting, grinding, or roughing, operating a grinder generates sparks. To prevent injuries or damage, you should protect both your hands and eyes. Wear appropriate gloves to safeguard your fingers from injury, and use safety goggles to keep your eyes safe. Additionally, a long-sleeved shirt or, better yet, a proper work overall is recommended to prevent sparks from reaching your skin or ruining your favourite clothes.

Proper Use of the Angle Grinder

There are several key points to consider when using a grinder. One of the most important is selecting the right disc, as not all discs are suitable for every task. Using the wrong disc can pose significant risks. For cutting metal, only cutting discs should be used; for grinding metal, choose grinding discs; and for roughing, opt for roughing discs. These discs also come in various sizes. For more details on what to keep in mind when working with this tool and how to use an angle grinder properly, visit the Einhell Blog.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s an overview of the most important questions and answers about our angle grinders.

What tasks can an angle grinder be used for?

An angle grinder is a versatile tool for cutting, grinding, roughing, deburring, and polishing. Whether you’re working with metal, stone, concrete, or tiles, this tool can handle a wide variety of materials when equipped with the appropriate disc for the job – such as cutting discs, grinding discs, roughing discs, flap discs, wire brushes, or hole saws. Typical applications include shortening pipes, removing rust, cutting tiles to size, grooving into tiles, or smoothing weld seams. With the right accessories, an angle grinder is a multi-purpose tool for both workshops and construction sites.

Do I need to maintain or service my angle grinder?

To extend the lifespan of your angle grinder, you should regularly clean it to remove dust and debris. One of the most important maintenance tasks is to clean the ventilation slots to prevent the motor from overheating. Some of our models are equipped with removable dust protection grids, which can be easily taken off and cleaned to keep the tool in top condition. Regular care will ensure that your grinder remains reliable and efficient for all your projects.

Where does the name "angle grinder" come from?

The name "angle grinder" originates from the angular arrangement between the motor and the grinding disc. The tool’s right-angle drive is made possible by a special bevel gear. This 90-degree configuration allows the grinding disc to rotate at high speeds, ensuring that it is applied evenly and efficiently to the material surface. This design enables precise, clean, and controlled results for a variety of applications.

Can you use an angle grinder to sand hard-to-reach areas?

No, despite what the name might suggest. The term "angle grinder" doesn’t refer to sanding specific angles but rather to the angle gear mechanism inside the tool. If you need to sand hard-to-reach areas, a flat-head angle grinder or specialised sanding tools like a belt file would be more suitable. These tools are specifically designed to access tight spaces and tricky corners more effectively.

Can I use an angle grinder to work on wood?

In general, an angle grinder is not recommended for woodworking, as the high rotation speed can easily burn the material. However, there are special grinding and carving discs designed for use on wood, which can be used for tasks like shaping sculptures or removing paint. For woodworking projects, we recommend using tools specifically designed for this purpose, such as a belt file, orbital sander, multi-sander, random orbital sander, or belt sander. These tools offer better control and a more suitable speed for working with wood safely and efficiently.
