Angle Grinder Accessories

Uses

The accessories cover tasks including deburring, removing rust, sanding paint, material removal and polishing. Flap discs are intended for smoothing irregularities and deburring; the hook-and-loop backing pad holds the supplied abrasive papers for finishing; felt discs are for polishing. The cleaning disc removes rust, paint and oxidation.

The abrasive non-woven material is described for coarse, medium and fine sanding, including rust removal and sanding painted surfaces. The corundum-based grinding discs are intended for substantial material removal on metal.

Materials and abrasive grades

• Flap discs: grades 40, 60 and 80 for metal, and grade 40 for wood.
• Abrasive papers for wood: grades 40 to 320.
• Special abrasive papers for stone: grades 400 and 1200.
• The source also describes finer papers for touch-ups and finishing.

Compatibility and handling

Designed for standard 125 mm angle grinders with the corresponding mounting bore. The bore is approximately 22.23 mm. An M14 adapter with a 10 mm round shank is described as supplied with the hook-and-loop sanding backing pad.

Before changing discs, switch off the machine and unplug it. Wear protective clothing, inspect the disc and secure it with the appropriate tool according to the grinder manufacturer's instructions. Keep the contact surfaces clean when using hook-and-loop discs. Observe the applicable maximum speeds and secure the sanding backing pad firmly.

For felt polishing discs on uncertain surfaces, test a small area before working on a larger area.
