Grinder Tools: The Types and Uses
Cordless Angle Grinder
Grinder tools are essential machines used to refine certain materials' surface such as the metal and wood. They may also be used to sharpen tools that dulled over the span of time you have been using them. There are different types of grinder tools available, each serving a unique purpose for different items and features. Among these types are the belt grinder, the bench grinder, the cylindrical grinder, the surface grinder, and the tool and cutter grinder.
Cordless Angle Grinder
Among the grinder tools, the belt grinder is probably the biggest grinding tool. It takes care of metals exclusively, as another machine is in charge of grinding woods, the belt sanders. Generally, there are three applications you could use belt grinding for; first, for polishing surface roughness, second, to remove edge breaking and third, to eliminate tool marks that the metal accumulated from production.
The bench grinder, on the other hand, is a type of grinder that you could conveniently place on bench tops. It is mainly used for sharpening tools and smoothing metal edges. It may also be used for polishing and molding metals into a particular shape or design. The bench grinder is a very essential tool which aids you in preparation for welding.
Another type among the grinder tools is the cylindrical grinder. It is a type of machine which is specifically designed to shape an object's surface. Cylindrical grinders are defined by four actions that it is capable of doing. First, the object or the material for your project must be rotating at a constant speed. Second, the grinding wheel of the cylindrical grinder must also be rotating constantly. Third, the position of the material you are working on must be placed against the grinding wheel; and fourth, the same material must be traversed to the grinding wheel.
Next is the Surface grinder. This grinding tool is used for producing smooth surfaces on finished products. It is basically a finishing process that functions mainly to smooth the surfaces of products, whether they are metallic or nonmetallic, to provide them with a refined and perfect appearance.
Finally, there is the tool and cutter grinder. As the name suggests, this grinder tool shows versatility, as it is capable of performing a variety of operations just like what cylindrical, surface, and the bench grinder have. As it is a versatile object, it must be operated by a person with a high level of skill and understanding who knows the differences and purposes of each grinding function.

M18 Lithium-Ion Power: Compact, Lightweight, and DependableCordless power frees you from the hassle of extension cords, but a cordless tool is only as reliable as its battery--that's where Milwaukee's M18 XC High-Capacity LITHIUM-ION batteries come in. Engineered to deliver torque, speed, and extended runtime, these batteries make use of Milwaukee's trademarked Digital Power Management technology to ensure long battery life. Additionally, overload protection, a temperature management system, and individual cell voltage monitoring guard your battery and your tools during tough jobs.
A convenient power gauge on each battery displays remaining runtime, and a second battery is included with the kit, so you never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a task. Plus the M18 LITHIUM-ION battery charger is designed to recharge batteries in one hour or less.
Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than 18-volt NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in keeping Milwaukee's M18 tools ergonomic and comfortable to use. For added versatility, M18 tools also work with even lighter M18 Compact LITHIUM-ION Batteries (not included).
