Wood discs for grinders: grinding, sawing, cutting

When working with wooden surfaces, the question arises whether the disc is suitable for an angle grinder when working with wood. Today, the grinder is used to perform various operations, because it has been made a universal tool.

With this device you can grind, polish, cut, saw and perform many more functions. It also copes well with materials such as wood, but before work you need to study some recommendations.

In this article we will talk about discs for angle grinders, their types and attachments used when working with wood. There are many of these components for grinders and they all differ in purpose and characteristics.

Which tool to choose

The grinder is a very extensive range of tools of one class, called an angle grinder (angle grinder). The device can have enormous power and work with a disk of 230 millimeters or more. Or be distinguished by its compact size and modest abrasives of 115 mm.

The disadvantages of large and heavy tools are obvious: they are difficult to work for a long time. In addition, precise wood processing requires serious skills and experience. It is simply difficult for a novice master to control a massive and powerful angle grinder. However, if there is a large processing area or the need to remove a significant amount of material, such an angle grinder is very good.

A small angle grinder also has disadvantages. The ratio of the diameter of its disk to the dimensions of the body does not allow processing hard-to-reach places. In addition, it is difficult to select a large volume of material with such a tool due to low power and overheating.

Many craftsmen prefer angle grinders with a disc diameter of 125 mm when working with wood. This is explained quite simply:

In this class, grinders are presented in a wide range of operating capacities;
it’s easy to choose a tool with comfortable dimensions and weight;
There are many attachments and devices on the market designed for a standard 125 mm disc mounting hole.

In addition, a medium-power angle grinder provides relative safety for beginners. It will not make you get tired quickly, will allow you to more accurately control your movement, and will reduce the likelihood of defects on valuable parts.

What kind of circles are there for cutting wood?

Despite the dangers of using an angle grinder for cutting wood, tool manufacturers still produce saw blades for it.

Circular saws

The photo below shows a “dangerous” saw blade for an angle grinder, although its diameter corresponds to the protective casing of a grinder with a maximum working tool of 180 mm. There are tipped saws with smaller diameters.

In the next photo you can see a less dangerous version of a circular saw. It provides protection against jamming, and is implemented by slightly moving the teeth in different directions.

Chainsaws

A saw blade made using a chainsaw chain reduces the risk of injury if the tool jams. This attachment is designed in such a way that the chain attached to the inner disk (base) has a non-fixed fit.

If the chain gets stuck in the material being processed, the base continues to rotate and the tool does not tear out of your hands.

These chain discs for grinders have many modifications, and with their help you can trim branches in the garden, and can also be used for rough cutting of thin boards.

In addition to cutting, the chain disk can also be used as a peeling disk, for example, for removing bark, as well as for cutting cups in logs and modeling.

Saws with few teeth

Also, for grinders, in order to increase the safety of working with wood, tool manufacturers produce cutting discs with a small number of teeth.

Discs of small diameter can have 3 teeth, and large ones - 4, as shown in the following photo.

These grinder blades are excellent at cutting wood both along the grain and across it. In addition, with the help of a saw wheel you can cut grooves, make various cuts and tenons in the workpiece. But when working with an angle grinder, you should adhere to one rule: you need to install a cutting disc on the grinder of the same diameter for which it is designed by the manufacturer, that is, do not exceed its dimensions. Circles of smaller diameter can be installed.

Tungsten carbide discs

Tungsten carbide discs for angle grinders appeared on sale not so long ago and made a kind of revolution in the field of woodworking.

This universal disc has no teeth. Instead of the latter, segments are located around the circumference of the nozzle. The cutting disc is similar in appearance to a diamond wheel for cutting concrete. With the help of a tungsten carbide wheel for an angle grinder, you can very easily saw wood of any hardness and viscosity. In addition, he is not afraid of nails, screws and other metal inclusions that may be in the workpiece on his way.

This is the safest wood saw blade for an angle grinder.

Its price on the Internet is about 700 rubles. But if you consider the possible consequences of using circular saws, then this is a low price to pay for safety.

Grinder wheels: starting with market research

The assortment is amazing in its diversity. What types of grinding discs are there and how are their characteristics determined? To fully answer the question, the entire market should be divided into main areas.

Abrasive coated wheels. This consumable tool is universal, because with its help any workpiece can be cut and polished with high quality. In addition, the possibility of polishing is assumed. It is not for nothing that this abrasive tool is considered one of the best.
A diamond-coated grinder disc is one of the most common construction tools. These products can be segmented or solid, and each option has its own area of use. In each case, the possibility of high-quality and accurate cutting of durable materials, including stone, metal, and concrete monolith, is assumed.
Saw blades for an angle grinder visually resemble modern saw models. However, other alloys are used to produce them. Previously, the product was rare, but now its prevalence is actively growing. The best disc option for a tungsten carbide grinder.

Taking into account the variety of modern products, you should abandon pointless and sometimes dangerous attempts to install a circle from a circular saw to an angle grinder. Any circular discs are designed for low speeds, and on an angle grinder there is a risk of distortion or destruction of the tool.

How to choose a suitable angle grinder model?

When studying modern grinder wheels, it is important to understand the basic principles of choosing consumables for an angle grinder. What aspects to take into account?

Grinding wheels come in several standard diameters. The most compact model has a size of 115 mm. However, 125 mm grinder discs are of greater practical importance. Moreover, it is angle grinders for 125 laps that are most widely used not only among professionals, but among home craftsmen.

Natural wood always turns out to be a specific heterogeneous material, therefore working with it requires special wheels . Grinder discs, which are designed for cutting metal or concrete, are absolutely not suitable for such processing. Otherwise, the grinder will be destroyed or burned by overheating.

When choosing equipment for grinding, it is important to note that the standard diameter of the installed shaft is 22.2 mm. Previously there were several divisions, so labeling still plays an important role. Today, for example, a standard saw blade for woodworking has a diameter of 125x22.2 mm.

Although the maximum size of an angle grinder is 230 mm, such dimensions are undesirable when processing wood. When choosing a tool with a large diameter (from 150 mm), you run the risk of serious injury. Preferable dimensions are 115x22.2-125x22.2 mm. In addition, 125 circles are capable of coping with a fairly wide range of production tasks.

Only if you understand the specifics of the equipment used, you can learn how to correctly select wheels for an angle grinder for safe and effective processing of natural wood.

Wood sanding attachments

For wood processing, in addition to cutting wheels, there are attachments specially designed for installation on angle grinders, with which you can peel, grind, brush and mill wooden surfaces.

Peeling attachments

If you need to remove a layer of paint or other coating from a wooden surface, you can install a sanding attachment on the grinder. There are a large number of different attachments for grinding work available on the market. They differ in shape, design, and types of work that can be performed with this tool.

The photo below shows disk attachments with spikes or chips, with which you can easily remove the top layer of wood, grind down the end of the board, etc.

The next cutter, due to the fact that the tenons on it are located on a flat plane, allows you to level various wooden surfaces. For example, if 2 boards on the floor at the end joint are at different heights. Using this attachment, the defect is easily eliminated, and the boards are joined in the same plane.

There are also stripping attachments made of twisted wire. They can be made in the form of a metal cup with a wire inserted into it.

Or in the form of a disk with turns of wire clamped in its central part.

These brushes are used if you need to quickly remove old paint from a wooden surface or rust and paint from metal.

The next photo shows a brush with a smaller diameter wire, and it is used for finer roughing work on wood and metal.

In addition to cleaning, this brush is often used for brushing wood, that is, giving it an aging effect. If this effect needs to be used on large surfaces, in the professional field, then for brushing it is better to use special hand-held machines with wide brushes.

Grinding and polishing attachments

For grinding various surfaces, including wood, there is a special attachment for angle grinders on sale, consisting of a metal base, onto which an emery grinding wheel is attached with Velcro. The attachment is screwed onto the angle grinder shaft and tightened with an open-end wrench.

It is often equipped with an adapter for mounting in a drill chuck or drilling machine.

A grinding wheel is not used for polishing surfaces. Instead, felt discs are installed on the nozzle, which are secured with Velcro.

A flap sanding wheel is also often used for sanding wooden surfaces. It is called so because it consists of many petals fixed on its plane, made of sandpaper. The grain size of the latter can be selected based on the requirements for the surface being processed. For rough sanding, coarse-grain sandpaper is suitable, and for finishing sanding, vice versa.

The better way to sand wood - with a grinder or a sander - depends on what you are going to prepare the wooden surface for . If you are applying regular paint, you can use a grinding wheel. If for varnishing, then a grinding wheel mounted on an angle grinder cannot be used, since it will produce small radial scratches on the surface of the wood, which will clearly appear after applying the varnish. In this case, for grinding, use a longitudinal belt sander (the sanding belt moves longitudinally) or a vibration sander, where the same sanding wheels are used.

Flat Blade Disc

A disc with several blades protruding from the side can be considered as an alternative to a plane. It is intended primarily for removing material on a plane. This attachment is indispensable when logging; it allows you to very quickly and efficiently remove bark from unedged boards or logs. It is also convenient to process convex or form concave surfaces.

Doing such work with a plane is very difficult and time consuming. In addition to its obvious usefulness, the disk made of high-quality steel has a good service life. And dull blades can be sharpened without the use of special tools.

Cutting end discs

End discs, which are also called cutting, milling, sawing, offer processing of material with a normal load character for an angle grinder. That is, the nozzle rotates in the same way as an abrasive wheel, with the same directions of emerging forces and the mechanics of tool control.

These discs have a very important feature for beginners. The radial speed of the cutting edges is high. Therefore, when cutting grooves and sawing material, sudden load surges are possible. For example, due to its uneven density. The grinder can be torn out of your hands; there are cases where the disc is displaced with a blow due to a change in the nature and area of treatment. However, in the hands of a master, this relatively dangerous class of cutting discs allows you to perform many operations.

Wheeled. It is made in the form of a separate product or an attachment to a regular abrasive. It has a flat end with teeth. The attachment is used both for milling grooves and for grinding their bottom and edges.
Serrated studded. It is made in the format of a saw blade with teeth, has one row of protrusions on their side parts. The nozzle is designed to form a shallow groove. Side teeth prevent deformation and reduce the risk of strong jerks during operation. They also allow the craftsman to move perpendicular to the groove line, widening it.
Toothed plane. The difference from the previous product is that the teeth are located on almost the entire lateral plane of the nozzle. The attachment can be used when processing a flat surface, forming rectangular grooves of considerable depth, and cutting thick workpieces.

It is simply impossible to list all the types of attachments, adapters and devices that can be installed on the angle grinder shaft. They allow you to significantly increase the functionality of your angle grinder. Having one tool in the workshop, the master can easily perform a large number of operations. It is not surprising that discs and attachments for angle grinders are very popular and more and more new options for devices are being developed.

Wood circle for grinder

Initially, you need to decide on the tool you plan to use to cut wood. It is known that discs are produced to fit standard sizes of angle grinders. The smallest diameter is 115 mm, but such a tool is used in extreme cases.

The main advantage of such an angle grinder is its compactness, but working with such a tool for a long time is extremely inconvenient. The best option for woodworking is a grinder with a 125 mm disc. It is this size of circle for wood that is the safest, which is why it has become widespread.

To operate an angle grinder on wood, a special disc is required. It is strictly contraindicated to cut wood with abrasive or diamond wheels. This will not help cope with the task, but rather will lead to destruction or overheating of the tool.

It is prohibited to operate an angle grinder with discs installed that are intended for circular grinders. Because this poses a threat to human health and life.

When choosing a circle for an angle grinder for wood, it is important to pay attention to the internal diameter of the shaft, which according to the standard is 22.2 mm.

Outdated models of angle grinders may have a different shaft diameter, so this point is important to consider when purchasing the appropriate wheel.

The optimal circle for woodworking has the following parameters: 125x22.5 mm. Grinders for discs of 150 mm and above are not recommended for use on wood, as the risk of serious injuries increases. It is better to use tools with 125 or 115 wheel diameters for cutting or sanding wood.

Not only power tools, but also hand ones, pose a serious danger if safety rules are not followed. The attachment for a grinder for cutting wood in this case is no exception.

Choose the right circle for the tool: by outer and seat diameter, and also depending on the type of wood.
Select the appropriate operating mode for the tool.
Do not use wheels that show obvious signs of damage.
Resort to the use of personal protective equipment.

You should not carry out work without using a protective casing, with the exception of manipulations such as scraping, grinding and polishing wooden surfaces. It is especially dangerous to work with saw wheels. It is strictly forbidden to install discs from circular saws or other tools on angle grinders.

For an angle grinder, you can only use consumables that are directly intended for it. In conclusion, it should be summarized and noted that grinder wheels for wood processing are no less popular than abrasive wheels. After all, the use of such consumables greatly facilitates human work and also saves time.

Wood saw blade for grinder

A wood saw blade for an angle grinder consists of a metal circle with a chain attached to the edge. The design of special sawing tools is similar to those used in chainsaws. But saw blades are made from tungsten carbide.

When a grinder blade for wood hits a solid obstacle in the wood - knots, resin, metal, its base rotates without destroying the chain. Using chain attachments, you can quite easily strip logs of knots and bark and give them the required original shape.

The thickness of the circle should be within 2 mm.
The depth of the cuts made can be within 20 mm.
The cutouts can be empty or filled with copper.

Using a saw blade for wood for an angle grinder, you can solve quite a large number of different problems related to construction, repair work, furniture production and landscaping of your backyard.

Saw blades for wood for an angle grinder are visually practically no different from circles for a circular saw. But they are made of a completely different metal. Until recently, these products were rare; now a lot of high-quality tungsten carbide wood wheels have appeared on the market.

Important: under no circumstances even try to install a circle from a circular saw onto an angle grinder. Theoretically, this can be done through an adapter, but circular discs are designed for low speeds and on an angle grinder, in the vast majority of cases, they become warped or simply fly apart.

Rapide brand saw blades are made of high-quality tool steel and are highly wear-resistant. The carbide teeth of this disc are equipped with tungsten carbide tips and have high-precision sharpening.

Rapide 180mm wood saw blades have 36 or 60 alternately set teeth, which, after long-term use of the blade, can be sharpened using special equipment.

This design allows you to successfully cut chipboard, MDF, laminated panels, hard and soft wood, obtaining a very clean and even cut. The Rapide 180mm saw blade has special temperature slots that serve to cool the blade and prevent it from overheating.

The internal diameter of such a circle - the seat - is 22.2 mm, which corresponds to the seat of an angle grinder (grinder). The outer diameter of the wheel is 180mm and the use of a wheel of this size is provided for by an angle grinder of exclusively the corresponding diameter - 180mm.

Using this disc on any other power tools not specified by the manufacturer, or on angle grinders of a different diameter is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious injury.

One of the important advantages of Rapide saw wheels is the ability to use them for various types of cuts - both transverse and longitudinal. The manufacturer recommends the permissible number of revolutions up to 80 meters per second.

The 180mm wood grinder blade is quite popular among professional craftsmen for various carpentry works, cutting branches, logs and cutting firewood. This circle is often used in the production of furniture, the manufacture of any structures or buildings made of wooden beams.

Characteristics of saw blade for wood 180 mm:

Manufacturer country	Germany

Chain saw blades for wood: advantages of use

In this case, the saw blade is made using a chain from a chainsaw. This attachment is the most suitable for working with wood, as it has the greatest efficiency.

A chain disk for wood for an angle grinder is also considered the safest. The use of this attachment significantly reduces the likelihood of injury if the tool jams.

If the disk hits a hard element of wood during operation (for example, a knot), the chain is not destroyed. This happens by turning the base. Such attachments are very popular when it is necessary to strip a tree trunk of bark and knots.

Wood saw blades for angle grinders with a chain are used for various types of work. With their help you can remove tree branches, as well as cut boards of small thickness. The functionality of chain products allows them to be used as roughing tools. They do an excellent job of removing bark.

Using a saw wheel, you can make an even cut of parquet boards, plywood, fiberboard, chipboard, as well as ordinary unedged and edged wooden products. It is important to remember that the thickness of the material that will be processed with such a nozzle should be no more than 4 cm. Otherwise, there is a high probability of the device overheating.

Wood cutting wheel for grinder

Various manufacturers also produce cutting wheels for wood specifically for angle grinders, for example, the Bosch cutting wheel. Their design differs significantly from the design of circular saw blades.

beveled;
straight;
in the shape of a trapezoid.

The first option for the tooth shape is considered universal. It is suitable for any type of wood for small amounts of work. When sawing soft wood, it is quite possible to use grinder blades for wood with straight teeth. Trapezoidal teeth are capable of processing fairly hard wood products: chipboard, fiberboard, OSB boards.

In addition, cutting wheels vary in diameter. The minimum size is 115x22 mm. The most commonly used circles are 125 mm in diameter; they are universal and suitable for a wide range of work.

The maximum possible size is 230 mm. But it is undesirable to use the latter option when working with wood, as the likelihood of injury increases. Depending on the selected size, the depth of the wood cut will also be different.

It is best to use universal or beveled saw blades for wood for an angle grinder if you plan to carry out work rarely in extreme cases, and the materials being processed can be any type of wood.
Wood discs with straight teeth are recommended for use if the technological process involves working with coniferous and soft wood.
The trapezoidal tooth shape is suitable for cutting medium-density wood chips. Most often, such a tooth is universal and suitable for sawing hard wood.

A cutting disc for wood for a 125 mm grinder is classified not only by diameter and, accordingly, depth of cut, but also by shape, frequency and number of teeth.

If you plan to use a saw blade for wood for a 125 mm grinder periodically, and you don’t know what kind of wood, you will need to cut. The best option would be a circle with variably beveled teeth.

For cutting softwood, as well as any other soft wood, you can use products with straight teeth.

The trapezoid tooth has a wider range of uses. Wood saw blade for grinder 125x22.2 mm with trapezoidal teeth, capable of cutting medium-density wood chips. It is also easy to use on laminated particleboards, USB boards and medium-density fibreboards.

Sanding disc for wood grinder

cord brushes;
end circles;
petal nozzles;
sanding wheels;
stripping attachments.

Rough processing of wood is carried out using special cord brushes. End discs are designed to align the edges of parts, which is often required when making bevel cuts on workpieces. They are an excellent substitute for a file. The widest range of grinding attachments is for flap wheels.

Depending on the size of the abrasive grain, the surface of the wood can be cleaned with varying degrees of sanding. With a gradual transition from using a coarse-grained nozzle to discs with finer grains, the effect of polishing parts is achieved.

The system of trapezoidal petals, which are laid with a three-quarter overlap on each other, has fairly slow wear. If the relief surface of a wooden product is complex, then flap discs with a radial arrangement of abrasive strips are used.

Using sandpaper or sandpaper on a special attachment allows you to sand fairly large areas of wooden surfaces. The ability to quickly change the sanding coating makes these attachments universal. When removing old paint coatings, stripping attachments are often used.

Typically this is a wire brush attached to a metal base. It can be located either parallel to the surface of the circle or perpendicular to it. There are options for attaching the bristles to the perimeter of the disc.

When working with wood, you need to make sure it is fairly dry. If there is fungal damage on the surface of the workpiece, it must be cleaned back to healthy wood.

Wood sanding disc for grinder: characteristics

With the help of a grinder, you can not only cut and saw off wooden parts, but also carry out roughing work of varying degrees of complexity. The modern market offers a wide range of such attachments. They are classified according to several indicators: shape, design and purpose.

Peeling wheels are used to remove bark from logs or boards. Thanks to them, you can easily remove excess wood from the end surface of the board. They may have special spikes or crumbs.

Wood grinding discs for grinders are also used to level the surface of boards. Such circles are equipped with special spikes that are placed on a flat surface. This function is very useful, as it allows you to polish the boards from which the floor covering is constructed.

On sale you can find stripping products consisting of twisted wire. They are usually called brushes. There are two types of such attachments for grinders for woodworking, depending on the features of their structure. The first option provides for a base in the form of a glass to which the wire is attached. The second type is a disk with a wire fixed along the edge.

Brushes are used to remove paint and varnish materials from wooden surfaces. It is important to note that most often such nozzles are used to remove paint and rust from metal pipes.

Note! For wooden parts, it is necessary to choose a thinner wire that will not damage the workpiece itself. These products are suitable for different types of wood.

Wood sanding discs equipped with wire coils are also used for brushing. This event allows you to give the wood an unusual look and artificially age it.

However, with the help of an angle grinder equipped with a wire stripping attachment, only small volumes of wood can be processed. Thus, this element is not recommended for brushing on an industrial scale.

Attachment for sanding wood on an angle grinder

Grinding is one of the most popular processes for which angle grinders are used. Using such a tool and a set of attachments, you can carry out rough and gentle processing of metal, stone and wooden surfaces.

As a rule, grinding precedes polishing of workpieces. The attachments used in this case may consist of sandpaper or felt material.

The petal disc for grinders has become widespread. This tool consists of a circle (base), along the edges of which sandpaper petals are fixed. They may have different grain sizes. This indicator is selected depending on the nature of the work.

The use of a flap wheel allows for rough processing of workpieces made of different materials. It can also be used for finishing sanding. Fine-grained petals are used for finishing.

Today you can find another type of grinding discs for an angle grinder. Some abrasive products are fixed to the base using special Velcro. To use such a circle, you need to screw it onto the tool spindle.

Polishing is the softest wood treatment. For polishing work, which refers to the final stage of turning a particular material, special felt discs are used.

And also on the tool market you can find circles, the working part of which consists of dense fabric. Grinder attachments for polishing are very popular when working with wood, as their use allows you to bring the surface of the material to the smoothest possible state.

If you decipher the abbreviation angle grinder, it is clear that finishing is the main purpose of the “grinder”.

Cord brushes

They are used primarily for primary (rough) sanding of wood, when it is necessary to smooth out the unevenness of the sample.

End discs

The name speaks for itself. These attachments are used to process the end parts of wooden blanks (cuts). They are especially effective if you have to deal with corner (oblique) cuts.

Petal attachments

The most used grinding devices for grinders.

Attachment for grinder for brushing wood

Many craftsmen believe that metal brushes are used to remove rust and oxides only from steel products. In refutation of this fact, products made from brass wire are popular in wood processing. The relatively low price and increased service life make the brush a direct competitor to abrasive attachments.

The main purpose is to remove paint and varnish from the surface of the material. It should be understood that the top layer of paint can be removed by exposure to temperature; a brush is used when working in hard-to-reach places.

It is also possible to brush wood using a grinder with a brush. The process involves artificial aging of surfaces in the production of unique interior products. The surface is processed with soft particles of wood, irregularities and temporary rings stand out against the general background.

The dangers of using an angle grinder with wood

The only operations with wood that can be performed with an angle grinder (angle grinder) without danger are grinding and roughing, and then using special attachments. Of course, you can cut wood, but it is very dangerous. The Internet is full of shocking photos showing what can happen when using an angle grinder as a cutting tool for wood.

The main arguments that can be made against using an angle grinder for sawing are as follows.

This machine is not designed for sawing wood.
Since wood has a viscous and soft structure, the saw blade can jam in it. As a result, the grinder is often torn out of the hands, and it flies in an unpredictable direction (in the leg, along the arms, in the stomach, etc.), causing deep wounds or amputation of fingers. Even fatal cases have been reported.
When cutting wood, the saw blade heats up very quickly, causing it to begin to lose strength. The slightest misalignment or excessive pressure may cause it to fly apart. Since the spindle speed of an angle grinder is high, tool fragments fly away at the speed of shrapnel and penetrate deeply under a person’s skin. The user will be lucky if the fragments do not fly into the head or eyes.
Despite the dangers of using saw blades with teeth, some angle grinder users ignore this fact and continue to install compass disks with large teeth or improved with carbide tips. If, when cutting wood, a hard knot or nail residue gets caught in it, the tooth or solder breaks off, gets caught by the next saw tooth and is thrown out at the speed of a bullet. One can only guess about the consequences.
Ignoring all the warnings, users of grinders install a circular saw on the machine with a larger diameter than the protective casing. This is the most dangerous option for using an angle grinder.

Based on the above, you can cut wood with an angle grinder only at your own peril and risk, and only if this is a single or infrequent operation.

If you have to cut wood constantly, it is better to purchase a special machine for this purpose, or use a jigsaw. In extreme cases, the grinder can be used as a drive and made into a circular saw, securing the device rigidly to the frame.

Safety precautions when working with an angle grinder on wood

If you decide to use an angle grinder as a tool for cutting wood, then you should remember some safety measures that cannot be ignored.

Before installing the tool on the angle grinder, it must be disconnected from the power supply.
Under no circumstances remove the protective cover from the angle grinder. This is the only barrier between the circular saw and your skin. In some cases, it will be able to protect your face from flying instrument fragments.
When working with an angle grinder on wood and not only the use of protective gloves is a must.
Do not use large and powerful angle grinders to cut wood. If the saw jams, you will not be able to hold the tool in your hands.
Do not use saw blades with large teeth, as the likelihood of them catching on hard wood fibers increases significantly and, accordingly, the likelihood of the tool being pulled out of your hands increases.
An angle grinder must have a speed regulator, which must be reduced to a minimum. If there is no regulator in the device, then it is better not to risk your health. As a last resort, you can make a regulator yourself and install it in an extension cord socket.
The grinder should be held strictly at a right angle while sawing. Any slight misalignment can cause the circular saw to collapse.
Under no circumstances should you fix the device’s start button, since in an emergency you will not be able to stop the tool and minimize injuries.

Rules for working with the tool

Any tool can pose a serious danger if the instructions for use in a specific situation are not followed. A grinder for cutting wood is no exception in this sense.

Correct selection of circle size.
Installing a wood disc for an angle grinder.
Selecting the appropriate operating mode of the machine.
Avoid using damaged circles.
Use of personal protective equipment.
The size of the nozzle should be installed under the protective cover of the machine without any problems.

If this does not work, do not remove the protection. When working on wood with an angle grinder, you must use only special wood wheels for an angle grinder. The use of attachments that are designed to work on other materials may result in injury or damage to the tool.

To avoid destruction of the wood disc for the grinder, the speed of the grinding machine must correspond to that indicated on the surface of the wheel. Before starting work, you should check the wood disc for defects and damage.

If they are present, then it becomes dangerous to use. When working with the tool, it is necessary to wear eye and hand protection. It is best to use thick overalls.

Brush cord. These tools are ideal for rough sanding of wood. It is assumed that it is possible to successfully level the wood, giving the optimal shape to the product.
End discs make it easy to grind workpieces. In most cases, such work is required for miter cuts. The operation of the end disk resembles the interaction of the workpiece with the saw.
Flap sanding attachments are the most popular type of consumables used. The characteristics of the tool determine the ability to process various workpieces, including natural wood.
Felt wheel - allows you to achieve minimal roughness in processed products. The basis is compressed wool, fine-haired, semi-coarse-haired and coarse-haired. A felt working tool allows you not only to carry out high-quality wood processing, but also to give a perfectly smooth surface comparable to a mirror.
A grinder wheel intended for grinding is often compared to a disc of the same name. It is important to note that the Velcro circle is a universal tool with a wide range of applications.
Various woodworking tools perform specific tasks, but the sanding wheel sometimes surprises with its versatility and high level of efficiency.
A chain disk for wood is one of the most productive, but crude methods of processing natural material.

When choosing equipment, it is advisable to take into account not only the diameter, but also each accompanying informative designation. The inscriptions will allow you to determine the purpose of the tool and follow the recommendations during operation. Marking discs, circles and attachments for an angle grinder is a guarantee of a successful result.

A modern grinder is a convenient and effective tool. For high-quality work, special attachments and discs are required that allow you to effectively process wood, metal and any other material of interest.
