- Is 800 rpm enough for cutting metal?
- It will cut thin sheet and light stock, but slowly. Most angle grinders spin at 10,000 rpm or more, so for regular cutting and heavy grinding a faster tool is the better pick.
- What discs does it take?
- It uses standard 4-1/2 inch discs with a 7/8 inch arbor, the common size for US grinders. Grinding wheels, cutoff discs, flap discs and wire cups in that size fit.
- Does it have variable speed?
- No. This model runs at a single fixed speed, so you cannot slow it down for polishing or delicate work.
- Is it good for a beginner?
- Yes for light tasks like rust removal and sanding. It is light and simple, but wear eye and ear protection and keep both hands on it.
- Corded or cordless for home use?
- Corded gives steady power with no charging, which suits occasional garage jobs. Cordless costs more but goes anywhere.
- Where is the Avid Power 4-1/2 Inch Corded Electric Angle Grinder cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $78.99, as of our latest check.
