Discs For Angle Grinders-Part Two

We have discussed different grinding tools for angle grinders before, they are different types of wire brushes and diamond blades, today we will continue to introduce some other tools that can be used for angle grinders.

1. Buffing discs for angle grinders

Buffing discs for angle grinders are generally made of high-quality wool, which is known for its wear resistance. When you want polished and shiny metal surfaces, buffing wheels come to your rescue. Attached to the power of an angle grinder, buffing wheels are very effective for polishing metal, glass, ceramic, and wood.

2. Angle grinder accessories for stripping and surface preparation

Surface preparation is an important part of finishing any project or workpiece. Peel-off grinding wheels are a quick solution to hard surfaces with rust problems, paint and sticky buildup. Polyester peel grinding wheels are generally made of nylon, which has a certain degree of flexibility. They're designed with a non-woven matrix that allows a sufficient amount of air to pass through the weave for cooler operation, so you can use the grinder at high rpm without burning the surface.

Nonwoven abrasive discs are essential for surface refinishing and paint jobs, and they are commonly used for finishing in the automotive body industry and metal fabrication facilities. They provide enough scrubbing power to remove even the toughest substances, such as adhesives and sealants, in preparation for surface preparation.

A polyethylene stripper wheel is a rotating disc used to strip paint, basically removing the paint and exposing the surface. Use these discs with an angle grinder for quick finishing and reconditioning without damaging the pristine finish.

3. Grinding with an angle grinder

When you need to use the angle grinder as an electric grinding tool, you can choose from the following grinding discs

Aluminum oxide grinding disc: Best for grinding and polishing bronze, alloy steel, wood and fiberglass.

Zirconia grinding discs: Stronger than aluminum oxide and free of iron, this type is best for polishing and grinding wood, fiberglass, metal, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel.

Ceramic grinding discs: Ceramic grinding discs are efficient in terms of sharpness and longevity, and are the most aggressive abrasive grains, best suited for heavy-duty machining on metals.

Flap grinding discs: Known for their effective removal of hard materials, the flap discs attached to the angle grinder allow the abrasive grains to grind and grind efficiently while reducing load and reducing friction.

They also keep the surface properly cooled to prolong the life of the abrasive and avoid damaging and overheating the surface.
