Do you have a grinder in your arsenal of power tools? I think if you are reading this article, you certainly are! Do you know what the real name of this instrument is?
I didn't know before, but quickly fixed this error. Now I will tell you that this power tool actually has the name "Angle grinder". For convenience and simplicity, the abbreviation LBM is used.
The grinder, or rather the angle grinder, has a wide range of uses:
- with its help, surfaces and products are cleaned;
- it is used for grinding;
- it is used to cut metal, etc.
The above work is performed by different attachments, each of which has a specific purpose. Most often, a grinder is used for cutting metal parts, as well as for cleaning them. Therefore, cutting and cleaning discs are the most popular.
With the help of an angle grinder, you can cut a hole that no other tool can handle.
What are the grinder attachments?
- 1. The first and most popular is the cleaning disc. It can be used to remove paint from the surface of the product, rust, etc. The disc resembles a round wire-bristled brush. It is suitable for working with concrete, stone and wood.
- 2. The diamond blade is designed for cutting extremely durable products such as stone, concrete, granite, etc.
To remove a layer of rust or to remove scale, they most often use a corset. It also polishes products, removes surface roughness. The braces are suitable for cleaning and aligning weld seams. And although such attachments are very versatile, they have some disadvantages:
- 1. During operation, villi can fly out of the root. This often leads to injury.
- 2. Processing products with such a brush is a rather lengthy process.
- 3. The grinder vibrates strongly during operation, which creates discomfort.
- 4. When using petal discs, they quickly clog and fail. This can damage the surface of the product.
- 5. Removing paint with a scrub disc is not always the best option. Traces may remain from it on the surface, since it removes not only a layer of paint, but also metal.
But take your time to get upset. It turns out there is a disc that is ideal for cleaning. His name is Coral. I was convinced from my own experience that he has no equal in cleaning different surfaces. Now I don’t even come close to the box and have already forgotten the last time I bought a petal disc.
More about the disc "Coral"
This disc is a piece of non-woven cloth with an abrasive. On sale you can find discs of various structures, from soft, fine-grained, to coarse and hard.
What are the advantages of Coral:
- 1. During operation, it is not clogged with rust or paint particles.
- 2. The surface to be treated does not heat up.
- 3. Materials are not deformed or scratched during processing.
Coral can remove a layer of paint from the surface in a matter of seconds. It costs, of course, much more than other discs. But you forget about it after the first use.
In the reviews, I read that "Coral" is quickly erased. This happens if you use a disc to handle sharp edges or if you press hard on the surface. It is also not recommended to exceed the speed for which the disc is intended. Do not do this, and "Coral" will serve for more than one year!
