An angle grinder is a versatile power tool that can be used for everything from rough deburring and cutting metal to precision work in stone and concrete. It is indispensable on many construction sites and in workshops, but the wide range of models and features can make it difficult to choose the right one.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of the most important factors to consider when choosing an angle grinder, as well as an introduction to different types and brands to help you find the model that best suits your work area.

The article presents a wide selection of angle grinders – from compact models to powerful machines for professional use. The aim is to provide an overview of features, characteristics and price ranges, so you can more easily assess which type best suits your needs. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide an informative and clear overview.

Factors to consider when buying an angle grinder

When choosing an angle grinder, it’s important to take into account power, size, ergonomics and safety. Here are some of the key points to consider.

1. Power and disc diameter

The power determines how strong the angle grinder is and how demanding tasks it can handle. For lighter tasks such as deburring and grinding metal, a model of 700–1000 watts is often sufficient. For heavier work in concrete or thick steel, you should choose a machine of 1200 watts or more. The disc diameter – typically 115 mm, 125 mm or 230 mm – determines how deep you can cut. Smaller discs provide better control, while larger discs are suitable for deeper cuts.

2. Power supply: corded or battery

Corded angle grinders provide constant power and are ideal for long-term work. Battery-powered models offer greater freedom of movement and are practical where there is no access to electricity. Modern battery machines have high performance and are often compatible with batteries from the same tool series.

3. Ergonomics and weight

A good angle grinder should feel comfortable in the hand. Consider weight, grip and balance, especially if you’ll be using the tool for extended periods. Models with anti-vibration handles and adjustable side grips can reduce fatigue and provide better control.

4. Safety features

Safety is crucial when using an angle grinder. Features such as restart protection, soft start and quick disc stop can make work both safer and more comfortable. An adjustable guard is also important to protect against sparks and dust.

5. Price and area of use

The price is closely linked to power, quality and features. For hobby use, an affordable model may be sufficient, while professional users should invest in a robust machine with high performance and long service life. Consider how often you’ll use the tool and for which materials.

Metabo Wpb 36-18 ltx bl 24-230 quick solo I mb
A cordless 230 mm angle grinder from Metabo that combines high performance with safety features such as a dead man's switch and quick braking. It is powered by two 18 V batteries for efficient 36 V operation.
Why it was chosen: This model was selected for its combination of power, safety, and flexibility. It represents a professional choice for users who want a large battery-powered angle grinder without compromising on performance.

The Metabo WPB 36-18 LTX BL 24-230 Quick Solo I MB is a large and efficient cordless angle grinder designed for demanding cutting and grinding tasks. With a disc diameter of 230 mm and a maximum cutting depth of 77 mm, it can handle both rough processing and precision work.

The machine is powered by two 18 V batteries, which together provide efficient 36 V operation. The brushless Metabo motor is encapsulated for optimal dust protection, contributing to long service life and high efficiency under load.

Safety is prioritised with a dead man's switch that stops the machine when the grip is released, as well as a quick braking system that stops the disc within seconds. The electronic safety shutdown reduces the risk of kickback if the disc jams.

The Metabo Quick system allows discs to be changed without tools, and the protective guard can be adjusted without twisting. The main handle can be rotated for better ergonomics, and the vibration-damped MVT auxiliary handle can be mounted in three positions for optimal control.

Frequently asked questions

What is an angle grinder used for?

An angle grinder can be used to cut, grind, deburr and polish various materials such as metal, stone and concrete. With the right accessories, it can also be used to remove rust, paint and mortar.

What size angle grinder should I choose?

For general DIY work, a 125 mm model is often sufficient. If you need to cut thick materials or perform heavy work, a 230 mm model is more suitable.

Can I use the same discs for all materials?

No, the discs are designed for specific materials. Use metal discs for metal, diamond discs for stone and concrete, and flap discs for grinding. Using the wrong disc can be dangerous and produce poor results.

How do I maintain an angle grinder?

Clean the tool regularly for dust, check cables and plugs, and replace worn discs. Lubricate the gearbox according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and store the machine dry and clean.

Is it necessary to use protective equipment?

Yes, always. Use safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection and possibly a dust mask. An angle grinder operates at high speed, and sparks or disc fragments can cause serious injury without proper protection.
