Makita GA5030R/2 240V 125mm Angle Grinder

Product Information

There are different types of blades for angle grinders that make it possible to cut through a variety of materials. You can cut concrete to a depth of 30mm with a 115mm angle grinder, 38mm with a 125mm angle grinder or 70mm with a 230mm angle grinder. The best disc to use is a diamond blade, but you can also use a cutting disc. Always clean its internal and external surfaces before using it to ensure it's free from dirt and debris. Battery fuel gauge LED's - also warns that anti-restart function and current limiter have been activated

The most important factor is the type of tasks you'll be using it for. This will influence the size of the angle grinder you buy, its power rating, how portable it is and how easy it is to manoeuvre. For example, a big angle grinder takes bigger discs to make deeper cuts than a smaller one. A high-powered angle grinder is needed for working on dense materials. And it's easier to work up a ladder with a cordless angle grinder than a corded one.

Cordless angle grinders are powered through a rechargeable battery. This makes them ideal to use where there's no power supply or when working up a ladder or on scaffolding. And there's no cord to get in the way while you work. On the downside, their battery capacity limits their run time, and they are more expensive and heavier than corded models. Makita offer compact angle grinders that are small and convenient, helping you to smooth and grind down surfaces with ease. These tools feature a small circumference, so you can use them in tiny spaces, while being light enough that they are easy to handle. This LED light lights up to indicate that the angle grinder is overheating or if the circuit breaker is triggered. This feature reduces the amount of vibration felt through the handle to increase comfort, especially if it will be used for long periods.

Proper care and maintenance of your angle grinder will increase its lifespan, prevent it from breaking down and ensure that it always performs well. There are a few simple things you can do: The size of the angle grinder you need will depend on the task you are doing, how regularly you'll use it, and whether it's for occasional, regular, small scale, or professional use. As a guide, use a 115mm angle grinder for precision and finishing work or occasional household use. Use a 125mm angle grinder for regular small-scale tasks and a 230mm angle grinder for large-scale regular work or professional use. Another type of corded angle grinder is an air angle grinder. Instead of being plugged into the electricity, it's connected to an air compressor unit and works using air pressure. They are the lightest angle grinders available and are favoured by metalworkers as they are safe to use when moisture is present. They also have an instant start and stop function. A paddle switch (also called a dead man's switch) stops the angle grinder from rotating if it isn't held with two hands. The power source and amp or wattage of angle grinder you need will depend on the tasks you are doing, how regularly you'll use it, and whether it's for occasional, regular, small scale, or professional use. As a guide, opt for a battery-powered angle grinder if portability is important or a corded one for prolonged use. An angle grinder with a power rating of 500-900W is suitable for occasional household use, 700-1200W is ideal for regular small-scale tasks, 2000W is best for large-scale regular jobs, and 2500W is best for professional use.You can cut granite to a depth of 30mm with a 115mm angle grinder or 70mm with a 230mm angle grinder using a diamond blade. Here are some precautions you can take to reduce the risk of accidents while using an angle grinder: You can cut aluminium to a depth of 30mm with a 115mm angle grinder, 38mm with a 125mm angle grinder or 70mm with a 230mm angle grinder using a cutting disc. Or you can use a diamond blade, but only with a 115mm angle grinder. You can cut stainless steel to a depth of 30mm with a 115mm angle grinder, 38mm with a 125mm angle grinder or 70mm with a 230mm angle grinder using a cutting disc. Or you can use a diamond blade, but only with a 115mm angle grinder.
