Reports indicate customers in the grinding wheel industry break approximatelyone grinding wheel per day. Most of these breakages are caused by human error,do not result in personal injury, and generally go unreported.

Angle grinders are among the most dangerous electric tools in agricultural and industrial settings. There are more than 5,000 documented accidents annually related to using angle grinders. According to some recent statistics by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on injuries, there are two popular groups of users who often suffer from these accidents – the inexperienced people and the experienced ones who have been in this industry for 15-20 years. The dimensions on an angle grinder guard are usually in the range of 1 inch to 12 inches. What are the benefits of removing a guard from an angle grinder? Cutting guards can come in open bottom design which is a common guard’s shape when you buy an angle grinder. This first type is often used for cut-off discs and is suitable for grinding. With the right discs, your angle grinder can not only handle metal but can even grind or polish concrete.What can you do with an angle grinder? With an assortment of high-quality angle grinder discs, a better question would be, “What can’t you do?” Grinding discs are suitable for metal and stone applications across a range of machine sizes. The main use of such discs is in the removal of materials. However, they can also be used for the finishing and preparation of stone and metal surfaces. Wire Brush Wheels A couple of times now, we have mentioned grinding or cutting wood using an angle grinder. But as you already know, quite a few types of discs are only suitable for harder materials. If you attempt to use them to cut or carve wood, you might end up damaging your project. Unfortunately, there are some blades that cannot be attached and one of the most obvious is the saw-toothed blade. Yet amazingly, many people still attempt to use these. What you need to keep in mind is that these blades are designed for saws that cut away from you whereas an angle grinder cuts towards you; this is the first reason why angle-grinder specific blades should always be used.
