What are the differences between an angle grinder and a cutting machine

Angle grinder and cutting machine are two common hardware tools, which have different characteristics and functions when used. In this article, we will provide a detailed introduction to the differences between angle grinders and cutting machines.

Firstly, an angle grinder is a handheld grinding machine whose main function is to grind. An angle grinder usually consists of a motor, grinding wheel, handle, and protective cover. Its grinding wheel can be replaced to meet different grinding needs. The use range of angle grinder is very wide, such as chamfering, correcting flat surfaces, removing welding slag, polishing metal surfaces, etc. The advantages of an angle grinder are simple operation, convenient use, and the ability to complete grinding work in a short period of time.

A cutting machine, on the other hand, is a thin circular tape with a chassis and a surface coated with sand particles, which cuts materials by lifting and lowering the circular tape. A cutting machine usually consists of a motor, a cutting disc, a base, and a handle. The main function of a cutting machine is to cut, and it can be used to cut hard materials such as metals and stones. The advantages of a cutting machine are fast cutting speed, good cutting effect, and the ability to complete cutting work in a short period of time.

From the perspective of usage scope, the difference between angle grinder and cutting machine is quite obvious. Angle grinders are mainly used for grinding, while cutting machines are mainly used for cutting. When using, it is necessary to choose appropriate tools based on specific needs. If grinding work is required, an angle grinder needs to be used; If cutting work is required, a cutting machine needs to be used.

In addition, angle grinders and cutting machines also have different structures. Angle grinders are usually handheld and require a handheld machine for operation. Safety precautions should be taken when using them. The cutting machine is equipped with a base and can be operated on a workbench, making it relatively stable and safe to use.

In summary, angle grinders and cutting machines are two common hardware tools that have different characteristics and functions when used. When choosing to use, it is necessary to choose the appropriate tool based on specific needs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to safety during use to avoid accidents.
