The angle grinder is one of the most versatile tools in any workshop — it cuts, grinds, sands and polishes metal, stone and tile. Here's how to choose the right one.
1. Disc size
- 115 mm / 125 mm — light, one-handed, ideal for cutting bar, tile and general metalwork.
- 180 mm / 230 mm — large, two-handed, for heavy cutting and big grinding jobs.
2. Power (wattage)
More watts means the grinder holds speed under load. 600–900W suits light use; 2000W+ is for continuous heavy cutting.
3. Pick the right disc
Use a thin cutting disc for cutting, a grinding disc for shaping welds and edges, and a flap disc for finishing. For tile and stone, use a diamond blade. Stock up on blades and grinder accessories.
4. Safety first
Always use the guard, a side handle, eye protection and gloves. Restart protection and anti-vibration handles reduce fatigue and accidents — see safety equipment.
Bottom line: a 125 mm grinder around 900W is the best all-rounder for most workshops. Browse the full power tools range — genuine tools, warranty, cash-on-delivery across Egypt.
