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.

Power cord length

The length of the network cable can tell you how far from the outlet you can operate the device. Therefore, for domestic use, it is more relevant to choose models with a short cord, for construction work or use in production, in the garage a longer cable is better.

Weight

The total weight of the grinder; for battery models (see "Power Source"), usually, it is indicated without taking into account the battery.

This indicator has two meanings. On the one hand, light weight has a positive effect on manoeuvrability and reduces fatigue during work — especially when processing vertical surfaces and ceilings, as well as in other situations where the tool has to be held on weight. On the other hand, for grinders with a vibrational principle of operation (see "Type"), used for processing horizontal surfaces, a significant weight is considered optimal: it allows the tool to fit closer to the material being processed, and also contributes to stability and retention. So when choosing such a model by weight, it is worth considering the features of its intended application.
