Angle grinders are versatile tools that can be use for a range of applications including cutting, grinding, polishing and even sanding.
Angle grinders are lightweight and easy to use. The design of angle grinders are typically the same, they have an adjustable guard and a extra side-handle for use with two hands.  The power of the tool and the size of the disc vary from tool to tool, generally the more powerful the tool the bigger the disc. This means that high power angle grinders can be used for more heavy-duty application.  

Key features of angle grinders include soft start; this prevents kick back when switched on, a removable disc guard allows the user to attach other accessories to the tool and a dust-proof construction protects the motor prolonging its life.

Angle grinder can produce lots of noise and dust especially when cutting stone. It is recommended that you wear a face mask, eye protection, ear defender and gloves when using these tools.
