What are some of the common uses for an angle grinder to the average
do-it-yourselfer?
Is is good for use to sharpen mower blades ?
there is probably a better tool for sharpening mower blades
I see they commonly have 4 1/4 inch and 7 inch sizes. Is there
any
common reason why one is generally better than the other ?
more detail can be accessed with a smaller diameter grinding wheel
a larger grinding wheel (on an angle grinder with higher amp rating/more
powerful motor) would cover more area faster than a smaller grinding wheel
those with higher amp ratings generally should be able to drive a larger
grinding wheel (higher amp rating = more powerful motor)
a 4" grinder has draws enough amps to run a 4" grinding wheel, but not
enough to run a 7" grinding wheel properly over time
a 7" grinder can run a 7" grinding wheel, or if it can be attached, a 4"
grinding wheel
Thanks for any comments or advice !!
