What is difference between a light and heavy angle grinder? How to choose?

In mechanical equipment, there is a difference between light and heavy loads. Angle grinders are also divided into light, medium and heavy loads. Do you understand all this?

1. Easy loading

The light type is what we commonly refer to as a small angle grinder. The machine is light, flexible and easy to operate. When faced with devices and furniture surfaces that need to be polished in daily household, it can be easily used and task of grinding can be done flexibly.

However, it can only be used as a surface grinding and polishing agent for simple materials, and it cannot perform other functions, and its function is relatively unique.

2. Average load

The Medium Duty Electric Angle Grinder can handle more types of material surfaces, and thanks to versatile interchangeable head option, functions are not limited to polishing and grinding, but can also be used for grooving and cutting.

Similarly, a medium power grinder is basically more suitable for home decoration or daily use. Although it has many functions, professional quality of each function is not very high, and it can only be used for daily polishing, cutting, and grooving. At same time, versatility of interchangeable head also increases cost of replacing a lost one.

3. Overload

The powerful angle grinder is not only suitable for professional cutting and polishing, but also can easily perform polishing, cutting, grooving and engraving operations.

Due to need to achieve a high work intensity, a high power consumption and a motor sufficient to support this consumption are required, so cost of machine itself, energy consumption during use, and cost of equipment loss are relatively high.

When choosing an angle grinder, we should look not only at price, but also at what product is more suitable for our current work. Above is difference between light and heavy angle grinders, hope you find it helpful.
