A power tool for cutting stone and metal fitted with a circular blade or cutting disc that revolves at great speed. The cutting discs are made from aluminium oxide which wears away with use. Other discs are available that have the rim divided into segments with a diamond coating along the cutting edge. These discs last much longer. Although angle grinders are generally used for cutting they can also be used to grind away rough edges on masonry surfaces, but it important to remember that a grinding disc needs to be fitted for this purpose.
Always take extreme care when using angle grinders, as they can be dangerous. The appropriate safety equipment should be worn: goggles, ear defenders, dust mask, sturdy work gloves and steel toe-cap safety boots.
