Motor power

Rated power of the electric motor of the machine. The more powerful the engine, the higher the speed and intensity of processing can be, the larger discs can be used with the machine and the better it is suitable for working with hard, stubborn materials. On the other hand, a powerful motor consumes a lot of energy (which may require special connection — see "Power") and significantly affects the dimensions, weight and price of the entire unit. Therefore, manufacturers choose this parameter based on the type (see "Machine") and the desired characteristics of speed, productivity, etc. In fact, this means that engine power is rather a secondary parameter, and when choosing, it makes sense to pay attention to more practical points — disk diameter, rotation / movement speed, etc.

Disc diameter

Regular diameter of the disk (see "Working element") used by the machine for dry processing (see above). When grinding and polishing, usually, we are talking about the maximum diameter of the disk that can be installed on the tool — a larger nozzle will either be ineffective or not fit into the dimensions of the seat at all, but a smaller diameter disk, usually, is installed without problems (of course, if the hole diameter matches — see below). For grinding machines, the diameter of the disc corresponds to the diameter of the sanding pad, which is necessary for the full use of the disc.

The larger the regular disk — the heavier and more powerful the machine, usually, the better it can cope with complex work of a large volume. At the same time, for small everyday tasks like periodically sharpening knives or chisels, a small disc is quite enough.

Bore diameter

The bore diameter of the dry cutting discs (see above) used by the machine. In order for the nozzle to be used normally with the machine, it must match it not only in diameter and thickness (see the relevant paragraphs), but also in the size of the mounting hole.

Disc thickness

The thickness of the "dry" blade (see "Dry Machining") for which the machine is designed. Usually, we are talking about the maximum thickness of the disc that can fit on the seat — most models allow the use of thinner nozzles.

Note that this parameter depends on the type of sharpening (see above): working with chains and saw blades involves a small thickness of the discs, universal sharpening is the opposite. And for grinding models, the thickness of the disc is not relevant at all, even if the disc is provided in the design; see "Machine" for details.
