Angle Grinders 101 | How to Use an Angle Grinder

A straight to the point explanation of grinders, wheels and safety.

My 4.5 inch angle grinder may be the most useful tool in my small workshop. It can be used to cut metal if you don't have a band saw or a chop saw or to grind welds. I usually keep a second angle grinder with a wire brush installed to remove slag from stick welding or flux core welding. In this video, I show my favorite disks and wheels for metal fabrication with an angle grinder. For cutting, I use abrasive cutoff wheels and diamond cutoff wheels. For grinding, I often use flap discs.
