Die Grinder Guide

Overview

Die grinders are used to grind, polish, and cut material. Small die grinders are often called rotary tools.

Shopping Guide

The size of a die grinder is a big factor in how it can be used. Large die grinders offer a lot of power for fast stock removale. Their size make it easier to guide the tool under heavy load.

1) Choose a power level

The power output of a grinder determines how fast it cuts. For rough work the grinder should have a motor draw of at least 5 amps. Engraving tools require much less power. Just about any power level will, as long as the tool reviews well.

2) Pick a tool size

What a die grinder can be used for is primarily a function of its size. The large models excel at shaping metal and rapid stock removel. The smaller models are better suited for engraving. Using one in place of the other will result in a bad experience.

Rotary Tools

Smaller die grinders are often called rotary tools. They are best used for fine work where rapid stock removal is not a requirement. Placing too much load on a small grinder will burn out the motor.

For the ultimate carving experience consider a unit with a separate motor. This setup has the smallest tool size while still being powerful enough for heavy work. Professinal shops use this type of rotary tool.

Rotary tools often share accessories with other brands. You can combine bits from one manufacturer with the tool from another.
