What I Use an Angle Grinder For (And Why You Might Want One Too as a Beginner)

What I Use an Angle Grinder For (And Why You Might Want One Too as a Beginner)

If you’re into building, fixing, or just making stuff like I am, an angle grinder is super handy to have around. I didn’t realize how useful it was until I started doing more hands-on projects—whether it’s metal, wood, or concrete, this tool really does a lot.

Here’s what I usually use it for:

Cutting metal and more
Need to cut through steel bars, bolts, pipes, or even tiles? Angle grinder does the job fast. Just switch the disc depending on what material you’re working with.

Removing rust or paint
Old metal parts? A wire brush attachment on the grinder can take off rust or paint easily without needing chemicals.

Grinding and sharpening
I also use it to grind down rough edges or sharpen tools like lawn mower blades and chisels.

Polishing and cleaning
With the right disc, I can even polish metal surfaces to make them look brand new.

Final thoughts

If you’re into welding, repairs, or any type of build—it’s worth having an angle grinder in your toolkit. Just don’t forget to wear proper gear (gloves, goggles) when using it. Safety first!
