Bosch Grinder - A Great Choice For Any Handyman

Many households now have the DIY bug, and spend spare time fixing and renovating their homes. Selecting the best tool for the job is always important, and when looking for a grinder the Bosch Grinder is one the leading brands. Bosch prides themselves in making the safest and most reliable power tools on the market for construction sites and households to use. Grinders are a great tool to own, not only are they versatile as they grind, polish and cut so many different materials, but they can help maintain other tools, as they can be used for sharpening blades and cutters. Grinders come in a variety of shapes and styles, with varied disk sizes, but are all designed to make your tasks easier. Before purchasing your grinder you need to consider what your jobs are, so you select the correct grinder for you.

There are two main types of grinders available on the market for you to choose from-- there are bench grinders and angle grinders. Bench grinders are more heavy duty and are fixed to a surface or bench, and are perfect for sharpening tools, polishing or shaping metal and wood. The motors on this type of grinder differ from 1/3 HP to 1 HP, but if you work with tough materials then it is advised to buy a higher HP, and more powerful motor machine. If you are using your grinder for more detailed shaping, then look for a grinder with a tool rest, and other great accessories that are available like a light and mount near the wheels, which will help you not to strain your eyes when working on smaller details.

Angle grinders are lighter, handheld and portable; they are designed to be used if working on an item that is too large to be placed on the bench. They are not as powerful as the bench grinder and only offer 4 to 5 amps, and they spin at speeds of 4000-11,000 revolutions per minute. They will however often come with a variable speed option which helps in shaping pieces. Polishing is done at lower speeds and rough shaping is better achieved at a higher speed. If you want to ensure that your grinder doesn't stall or stutter, then buying a grinder with a higher amp motor is essential. There are several accessories available to make your jobs easier, these include: pre-punched disc's for sanding wood, a cut off wheel for cutting metal, a polishing bonnet for wood or metal finishes and several different blades, cutters and bits for cutting and shaping.

The Bosch grinder has many exclusive unique features, including the first ever kick back stop feature. If a jam or drop in RPM is detected then the grinder immediately shuts down, meaning there will be no injuries to the user. Another unique feature of the Bosch grinder is the restart protection feature, after the grinder has shut down it will not automatically restart. The motor and the disc do not restart until the user flips a switch when they want to resume the job. The direct cooling system ensures that the grinder is being cooled at all times by the rear vents, even if your gloves are covering the front vents, this feature means there is little chance of the grinder overheating. The Bosch grinder also comes with a bullet proof shield, protecting the user from flying pieces of metal that may come off during grinding.

The technology that has gone into the Bosch grinder means that it is not only the safest on the market, but also the most comfortable to use. The grinder has a specially made two position side handle, making it very well balanced and easy to grip. The handle has been designed to cut vibrations and because they have now been cut by 70% this grinder is more comfortable for the user to operate. This feature means that the grinder is ideal for more accurate cuts and shaping, as you will have more control over the grinder angle. Even with all these great features added to the Bosch grinder, the power has not been compromised. Bosch has, in fact, increased the motor size giving you more power, and added durable synthetic carbon brushes, which also help the grinder to last longer. The Bosch grinder is classed as great value for money and is not expensive to buy; many leading building companies use and recommend this brand as one of the market leaders.
