Glossary

Rotation speed

The speed of rotation of the working attachment, which is capable of providing a grinder of the appropriate design (for example, angle — see "Type"). If the device has speed control, this paragraph shows the range of such adjustment, from minimum to maximum.

It makes sense to compare by this parameter units belonging to the same type and having the same maximum diameter of the disk (or other working nozzle). The latter is due to the fact that the larger the disk, the faster its edge moves (at the same speed); i.e. a larger diameter requires less RPM for the same performance/efficiency. In general, when comparing different models, the following should be taken into account. The higher rotation speed is well suited for large volumes of work (because it improves productivity) as well as for fine polishing with “delicate” nozzles. A lower setting, in turn, improves accuracy (reduces the chance of removing excess material), as well as provides more torque and allows you to more effectively deal with hard, stubborn materials. More detailed recommendations for different types of work and different nozzle diameters can be found in special sources; here we note that an increase in the rotation speed, usually, affects the cost of the machine compared to analogues (since this requires a more powerful engine). In addition, discs and other attachments may have maximum RPM limits.

Max. disc diameter

The maximum disc size that can be installed in a grinder of the appropriate design (see “Type”). Most models are capable of working with nozzles of smaller diameter, but a rim that is too large simply will not fit on the tool due to size limitations.

The larger the disc, the larger the processing area and the depth of cut provided by the grinder. On the other hand, rotating a larger attachment requires corresponding power, which, in turn, affects the price, dimensions and weight of the entire tool. So you should choose according to this parameter taking into account the specific tasks for which you plan to use the machine. Detailed recommendations on this matter can be found in special sources; Here we note that discs are conventionally divided into small (up to 125 mm), medium (up to 230 mm) and large (230 mm or more).

Noise level

Approximate noise level generated by the grinder during operation. Note that this indicator is quite approximate, because. actual "loudness" can vary markedly depending on the type and shape of the material being processed, the surface it is placed on, and other circumstances. In addition, different manufacturers may use different measurement methods. Nevertheless, this indicator makes it possible to assess how comfortable this or that model is in operation and whether special hearing protection is required.

The most “quiet” modern grinders give out about 65 dB — this is comparable to loud speech at a distance of 1 m; in the loudest, the noise level reaches 107 dB — this is the volume of an industrial workshop.
