Die Grinder FAQs
Can you use a die grinder as a cut out tool?
An electric die grinder can do minor cutting tasks. However, it’s not designed for cutting crisp shapes in walls, cement blocks and other surfaces.
If you want to sand, grind or hone—choose a die grinder. On the other hand, if you want to cut out holes for powerpoints and other fittings and fixtures, a cut out tool will be your best mate.
Need something with a little more grunt? Angle grinders are another alternative to die grinders, and are your best bet when you need a tougher beast for bigger projects.
What’s the difference between a rotary tool and a die grinder?
Rotary tools and die grinders are similar and come from the same family of tools. But although some of their uses overlap, your die grinder will be more heavy-duty than a rotary tool.
While die grinders sand and grind, a rotary tool takes care of those smaller tasks your hands are too big for. Think etching, drilling and engraving—getting into those nooks and crannies.
Both power tools have attachments so you can mix and match them to fit the task. For example, the Dremel rotary tool has accessory kits that include polishing felts, cutters and grout removal bits.
Should I buy a die grinder?
A corded die grinder is one of those power tools that’ll stand the test of time. It’ll make sanding, polishing, honing and grinding simple—so you won’t have to put off those odd jobs.
Has your wooden-top dining table seen better days? You can pull out the die grinder and give it a quick sand before resealing to give it a new lease on life. Or, if you’ve noticed a build-up of rust somewhere, this guy will remove that too. Good as new.
For professionals, die grinders are a powerful and versatile tool that can be used in a variety of industries. They can remove rust, strip paint, and get into small spaces that bigger tools can’t reach. They’re even great at sharpening up your blades!
So, whether you’re a professional or just love a bit of DIY, a die grinder is a great addition to your toolkit. Got something else in mind? View our full range of power tools.
