Hand Angle Grinders are the tool that any machine shop
worth its salt will have its prized possession. From polishing to grinding to
cutting, the hand angle grinder is the weapon of chosen when it comes to tough
surfaces.
Handheld grinders’ uses reinforced resinous wheels, flat
and depressed center and diamond wheels to complete the task.
What
is grinding?
Grinding is the industrial process where an abrasive
material usually mounted on a wheel chips away material from the work piece via
deformation, either to cut or to smoothen.
Why
is it used?
There are plenty of uses for the hand angle grinder. The
primary function is to smoothen the surface of floors, walls, and any uneven
surface. Running the spinning wheel, at high speed, does this and the abrasive
mounted on the wheel, removes the oxide layer as well as material, which is
extra or simply unnecessary.
Where
are hand held grinders used?
It is employed in any place which will require smoothening
of surfaces, and that can vary from housing projects, furniture, and steel
cutting to gems and jewellery and diamond polishing. Handheld grinders are
known for its ease of functioning and with ergonomic designing, the
professional handling the tool has been helped with a greater level of
efficiency.
Hand Held grinders can be of many types, and that depends
primarily on the kind of job that needs to be done. Hand angle grinders can be
powered by an electric motor, compressed air or a petrol engine and are used in
prolifically in machine shops and fabrication units.
Angle grinders are used for removing excess material from
a work piece. There are various kinds of discs that are used for different
materials and tasks, like cut-off discs also known as a diamond blade, abrasive
grinding discs, grinding stones, sanding discs, wire brush wheels and polishing
pads. There are large bearings in an angle grinder to offset the vibration and
help the user gain precision, unlike the power drill, where the force is axial.
Recent research done by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health has recommended changes in the design of
handheld grinders to create a better design. This would allow the worker to
work in a safer environment and more efficiently.
It has also been suggested that hand angle grinders need
to be used with their guard or handle attached. This is to ensure the safety of
the worker.
